Taraw1979 - Be sure of what you are taking. What I take is a digestive multi-enzyme that has probiotics in them too. My husband made a mistake in buying the wrong kind for me because of the word "Probiotic" on the label. The ones I take have several of the digestive enzymes which helps my body to break down food so that the nutrients and vitamins can be absorbed by my body. This is what I believe is to be the reason for the low energy. Almost like you become malnourished, except gain weight instead of lose, which I still can't figure out. The ingredients on my bottle says: Betaine Hydrochloride, Pacreatin, Amylase, Protease, Bromelain, Papain, Pepsin, Ox Bile, Lipase, Cellulase and Lactobacillus Acidophilus. I don't know if all of these enzymes are needed or maybe a supplement which just emulsifies the fat content (like bile salt) would suffice. I believe it to be a game of trial and error. I, too, took Vitamin B-12 from my mom's suggestion and then discovered through a blood test I was overdoing it. So I stopped that. The only thing I take now are the enzymes with every meal, daily vitamin and fish oil. Also, Vitamins A, D, E & K are the vitamins lost when the fat in your foods *do not* get emulsified and the absorbed by your body. And I was deficient in Vitamin D. I couldn't get the Dr. to test me for a deficiency in the others. Hope this helps.
