When Simon Bogemann’s hand began cramping around the steering wheel in a claw position on his commute from Geelong to Melbourne, he began to worry.
Bogemann, then 43, was also getting pins and needles in his feet and fingers every night in bed, and while sitting down during short lunch breaks at work.
His GP put it down to a lack of magnesium and recommended a supplement, in addition to the multivitamin he was taking for a chronic condition.
Bogemann was unaware that both capsules contained added vitamin B6, too much of which could lead to the symptoms he was experiencing – a type of nerve damage known as peripheral neuropathy.
The wellness industry’s marketing of over-the-counter vitamins is leading to an increase in the number of people presenting with peripheral neuropathy linked to excessive vitamin B6 in their blood, Australia’s peak body for pathologists has warned.
Dr David Kanowski, a chemical pathologist at Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology in Brisbane, says most people are unaware they are consuming too much of the vitamin.
Bogemann certainly had no idea: “You buy an over-the-counter supplement, you just think that it’s going to be good for you, not bad for you.”
He says it has been a challenge to change his multivitamin to a product without B6.
“One thing that I have learned is that B6 seems to be added, for some reason, to a lot of over-the-counter supplements.”
It is also in some energy drinks, breakfast cereals, and protein and weight loss shakes.
Magnesium tablets, commonly recommended for cramp relief, often contain B6 because it can assist magnesium absorption. But a person who takes two magnesium tablets a day could consume more than 120mg of B6, far exceeding the recommended dietary intake for adults in Australia of 1.3mg to 2mg a day.
It was previously believed that peripheral neuropathy was caused by doses of hundreds of milligrams taken over periods of 12 months or more but cases have been known to occur at levels as low as 21mg.
The initial symptoms include numbness and pins and needles in the feet, which can spread up the legs. Muscle cramps and pain may be felt in the arms and hands.
In 2020 the Therapeutic Goods Administration released a safety advisory warning. Two years later, still concerned about a lack of awareness, the TGA lowered the limit at which products must display a warning label, from 50mg of B6 down to 10mg – and banned products with more than 100mg.skip past newsletter promotion
after newsletter promotion
Nevertheless, cases have continued to rise. Between January 2020 and October 2024 the TGA received 81 adverse event reports of peripheral neuropathy associated with medicines containing a vitamin B6 ingredient, with most of them reported in the past two years.
Kanowski says advertising on social and other media promotes the idea that taking more vitamins is good for health.
“It’s understood that if you want to counteract bad habits, like smoking or drinking too much, perhaps that can be counterbalanced with vitamins,” he says.
Kanowski says the TGA has been “fairly hands off” unless toxins are in a product.
Fiona Sammut, a dietitian based in Victoria, says it’s a big ask to expect consumers to read and interpret “tiny font” disclaimers and formulations.
People who see claims that vitamins will “boost their energy” may take several supplements thinking they are harmless, she says.
While foods are commonly fortified with vitamins for “specific evidence-based reasons”, such as vitamin B1 fortified bread, Sammut says there’s no similar reason for B6 fortification because there isn’t a high incidence of vitamin B6 deficiency.
Most people get enough B6 in their diets from foods including fish, non-citrus fruits and starchy vegetables, and high intakes of B6 from natural food sources have not been reported to cause adverse effects.
Sarah* had symptoms of peripheral neuropathy for years, but “never thought anything of it”, because she assumed they were related to her Crohn’s disease.
In hindsight, she says, the symptoms began about a year after she began taking a multivitamin that contained 60mg of B6 after weight loss surgery in 2011, in addition to the magnesium which contained 82mg she had been taking for years due to cramps in her legs.
She had been having yearly blood tests at her dietician’s recommendations but it was only in late 2021 that the pathology lab tested for B6 levels and found they were 15 times higher than the recommended range.
In most cases, once B6 levels return to normal, peripheral neuropathy will slowly improve within six to 12 months but in some severe cases it can be irreversible.
Prof Matthew Kiernan, the chief executive of Neuroscience Australia, has described a case he saw in his clinical practice of a 40-year-old patient who was worried he had motor neurone disease before the doctor linked the gym enthusiast’s symptoms to excessive vitamin B6 intake from the supplements he consumed as part of his fitness program.
Kiernan, who diagnosed more patients with peripheral neuropathy after his article on the case was published in the Medical Journal of Australia, believes there should be limits on the number of supplements people can buy because they are unnecessary for people eating a balanced diet.
“None of this is policed,” he says. “So, if you go down to the chemist and go down the vitamin aisle, they’re all there. You can get a whole shopping trolley full of them.”

vitamins: when should I take them?
you might have seen my posts on which vitamins to take together (and not to take together), but you may be wondering when you should be taking these vitamins in the first place. this post is for you
water soluble vitamins only require water for your body to be able to use them. these vitamins cannot be stored by the body and any excess is peed out. 
some water soluble vitamins are: the B vitamins group, biotin, folate, niacin, vitamin C
fat soluble vitamins require dietary fat so your body can use them, so take them with a meal. these vitamins can be stored by the body. 
some fat soluble vitamins are vitamins A, D, E, K, and Omega 3
vitamins to take in the morning (and why):
B vitamins (to avoid sleep disturbances)
iron (best on an empty stomach, can be taken with orange juice to enhance absorption) 
zinc (I personally find that it gives me energy)
vitamins to take before bed (and why):
magnesium (can improve sleep quality)
vitamin E (can improve sleep quality)
vitamins to take with a meal: 
Fat soluble vitamins (they need some dietary fat to be absorbed effectively) 
Multivitamin (can also help with absorption)
things to keep in mind: 
some vitamins are absorbed better with food, so take them during one of your meals
some mineral supplements, such as zinc, calcium, iron, and magnesium can compete with each other for absorption. try to space them out. 
vitamin C can reduce absorption of vitamin B12. take at least 2 hours apart

my intentional morning routine (updated)
Tumblr media
-I wake up around 4:45 during the week in order to go to the gym. This has helped me build a sense of discipline by committing to a task that pulls me out of my comfort zone.
-I’ve maintained the habit of drinking a full bottle of water after waking up which I take my vitamins and medications along while doing so as a practice of habit stacking (building new habits by linking them to ones already established).
-I usually try to give myself enough time before leaving for the gym. This allows me to say my personalized prayers and express my gratitude by writing out at least 3-4 things I am grateful for upon starting the day.
-After the gym, I’ll shower and then continue my mindfulness practice. The first thing I like to do is a breathing exercise. I’ll either do the 4-7-8 routine (breathing in for 4 secs, holding for 7, exhaling for 8) or just taking deep breaths with long exhales. This helps me get a jumpstart in focusing on maintaining a calm nervous system.
-I move onto my nutrition for the day which usually starts with liquids; I’ll take a homemade hot ginger and turmeric shot while I wait for my tea to steep. Lately, I’ve been drinking mullein tea which aids with respiratory health, it has antioxidants such as vitamin c, magnesium and zinc.
-For my overall diet, I try to stick to a high protein, high fiber diet which I’ve chosen for my own dietary needs. Depending on the morning and what I’m craving, what I eat may look different. Sometimes it may be a protein smoothie or a breakfast wrap that usually consists of spinach, eggs, turkey and cheese. However, one constant will always be green juice. The one I drink usually consists of celery, kale, cucumber, apple and lemon. After an energizing and nutritious breakfast I’m ready to start my day.
And that’s my current intentional morning routine!

Hello! My name is Marianel, but you can call me Mari. I am dedicating my blog to reuploading whatever information I have saved to my Tiktok favorites due to the upcoming U.S. January 19th ban. I am into fashion, romance, lifestyle improvement, and anything girly, so there will be plenty of coverage on those topics. All republished material, in order to respect the creators, will contain the original post title, caption, username origin, and content. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope my archive helps in any way!
Just a disclaimer for super health-based posts-I am in no way well-versed in such subjects, much less a professional. I will do my best to fact check what I post so as to not spread misinformation. However, if the aforementioned does occur, please correct me so that I may edit 'my' error. There are outside generated revisions on less-than-solid facts.

POST TITLE: 15 Random W eight Loss Facts
CAPTION: Tags only.
CONTENT:
Protein is useless if you avoid consuming fats in your diet. (same with vitamins) REVISION: False. Protein is essential for many bodily functions like muscle repair and immune support. It’s important to have a balanced diet with fats, but protein isn’t useless if you're avoiding fats. However, fats help with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), so avoiding fats can hinder this.
Make sure you consume enough protein, iron, and ESPECIALLY CALCIUM to avoid brittle teeth, hair and nails.
Too much protein and your body treats it the same as carbs. It goes to your glucose stores. REVISION: False. Excess protein isn’t directly converted into glucose the same way carbohydrates are. The body can convert excess protein into glucose via gluconeogenesis, but this process is not as efficient as the conversion of carbohydrates to glucose.
Understand your cravings and adapt to choose healthier options (guide on next 'page')
If you drink mostly diuretics (e.g. caffeine), you need more liquid in your diet.
1L of cool water burns up to 50cal by digesting it. It also helps with performance and burning calories throughout the day. REVISON: False. Drinking cold water can cause a slight increase in calorie burn due to the body needing to warm the water to body temperature. However, it's nowhere near 50 calories. The actual calorie burn is likely to be around 20-30 calories per liter, depending on individual factors.
CRAVINGS AND WHY
Chocolate - Magnesium | Greens, nuts, seeds, whole grains, beans.
Bread - Nitrogen | Obtained from dietary protein, meat, fish, eggs, nuts, grains.
Oily foods - Calcium | Spinach, kale, broccoli.
Cheese - Essential fatty acids | Walnuts, flax oil. Calcium | Broccoli, kale, spinach.
Snacks/Junk food - Unbalanced diet | Water, fruit, vegetables, proteins, fats, carbs.
Pasta - Chromium | Grapes, tomatoes, onion.
Ice - Iron | Red meats, nuts, liver.
Carbonated drinks - Calcium | Spinach, kale, broccoli.
Alcohol - Protein | Beans, meat, eggs. Calcium | Legumes, kale. Potassium | Tomato, banana. Glutamine | Bone broth, beets.
Sugary sweets - Sulfur | Garlic, kale, onion. Tryptophan | Raisins, oatmeal. Chromium | Grapes, tomato, onion. Phosphorus | Lentils, nuts, seeds.
Coffee - Sodium | Sea salt, kombucha. Sulfur | Garlic, kale, onion. Phosphorus | Beans, quinoa, nuts. Iron | Spinach, meat, figs.
Salty snacks - Chloride | Celery, olives, tomatoes. Stress hormones | Vitamins B and C.
7. Certain foods speed up metabolism (see next 'page')
8. Protein burns more calories by digestion than any other type of macro. (20-30%)
9. Protein helps maintain muscle during weight loss. And muscle burns more calories than fat.
100 CALORIES OF METABOLISM BOOSTING FOODS
Lemon (without peel)
Chilli Peppers
Caffeine (black coffee)
Matcha (powder)
Eggs
Ginger
Apple cider vinegar
Beans
Cinnamon
Water
10. 1kg of fat = ~7,000 calories
1lb of fat = ~3,5000 calories
That's how much it takes to gain/lost it.
11. A healthy deficit is up to 500 calories below your TDEE>
12. Never eat below or on your BMR. Your BMR is what you need to function at total rest. (It's what you need in a coma.)
13. After 7 days of fasting, your body is using more muscle for energy than fay. Fasting is useless at that point. REVISION: Partially true. After prolonged fasting (beyond 2-3 days), the body may start breaking down muscle for energy, although this process depends on many factors (hydration, activity level, etc.).
14. Weight training is great for fat loss! Training weights isn't going to make you bulky. It takes ages to do that and loads of training and eating. You'll notice it.
15. You may not notice results at first because your brain is used to seeing a different weight in the mirror. Ignore the mirror. Ignore the scale too (It can't tell you the difference between fat and muscle) and FOCUS ON YOUR MINDSET.

Read one of your posts, if salt drys you out why would you intake both salt and water to be hydrated? Unless its about the minerals?
A lot of things in the human body rely on small charges of electricity to work. These charges come from the elements sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and a few others. When dissolved in water, these elements become charged either positively or negatively, and create the voltage necessary for the body to do important things like send signals via nerves and coordinate the heart's beat.
The kidneys and endocrine system are responsible for making sure there is the right amount of these elements, called electrolytes, in the blood and tissues of the body. There are methods the body can use to excrete excess electrolytes or conserve scarce ones.
If you sweat heavily or have vomiting or diarrhea, you lose electrolytes. Some of them can be conserved by excreting less of them in urine, and some can be pulled out of bone, which acts as a reservoir. But there comes a point where these measures no longer work, and you have to get electrolytes from dietary sources.
The main electrolytes excreted in sweat and diarrhea are sodium and potassium, which is why sports drinks have a lot of sodium and potassium in them. Vomiting causes a lowered amount of sodium and potassium as well, but also chloride and bicarbonate. This can cause problems not only from the electrolyte loss, but in severe cases it can dangerously change the pH of the blood as well.

Flaxseeds have been consumed for over 6,000 years. These magical seeds contain anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids and other antioxidants that naturally promote hormonal balance, and improve digestion, strengthen hair and nails, and even fight cancer!
Flaxseeds are small seeds, often called Lin seeds, that are a great source of dietary fiber and other minerals like manganese and magnesium. They’re also a great source of plant-based protein.
We love adding flaxseeds to baked goods, smoothies, and even to our homemade hair gel/treatment mask. I’d recommend grinding them up (instead of eating them whole) to reap the most benefits.
Do you eat flaxseeds often? How do you use them?

So to really oversimplify it, Calcium is what your body releases to signal your muscles and tissues to tense up, and Magnesium is what your body uses to tell your muscles and tissues to relax again.
An imbalance of these is BAD.
Too much or too little of either can stop your heart in extreme cases, and suddenly changing your serum/blood levels is particularly dangerous.
Part of why vitamin D is important but also why it's so fucked up supplements often contain magnitudes more than they claim they do, is because vitamin d so strongly impacts how much calcium -also iron- you will suddenly be absorbing from your food, which can trigger cardiac spasms [heart attacks with no clot].
This is why hard water causes muscle cramps and headaches, because it causes you to overdose on calcium, or alternately magnesium, depending on the hard water, location etc...
This is why "calcium channel blockers" relax heart muscle tension, lower your blood pressure and relax your muscles.
This is also why trying to relax your muscles more without lowering your blood pressure is fucking impossible. A problem for anyone with muscle tension but also low blood pressure. You literally cannot treat one without making the other a lot worse.
This is why magnesium supplements -IF YOU ARE DEFICIENT- can help with sleep, high blood pressure, pain and muscle tension.
This is also why -due to the physical feedback created by being physically unable to relax to your nervous system- magnesium can help with anxiety.
You need both for healthy bones too, btw, not just calcium supplements as you age.
Low calcium or too much magnesium can also cause slowed heart rate, missing heartbeats, dizziness, weakness and fatigue. HOWEVER, too much calcium can also cause skipped heartbeats and dizziness from a lack of proper circulation because your heart isn't relaxing enough between beats. Both are dangerous.
BOTH of these minerals can build up in your body and aren't like 'water soluble' nutrients in the body in the same way that vitamin C is for example where too much will just be flushed away, your body stores these bitches in your bones pretty obsessively, so it's a good idea to get your levels checked if you think supplementing either might help you. [Technically they are water soluble, but it's helpful to think of them as being like 'fat soluble' nutrients that your body will hold onto, just like, for bones and not fat... This is also why meat broth and meat in general is high in calcium, once life isn't holding the minerals in the bones it dissolves out into the meat.]
If you have problems with blood pressure, heart symptoms, tension or fatigue at all, it is a good idea to rule out low or high calcium or magnesium as a cause because it's a really simple thing to treat with supplements or dietary changes that doctors can't deny you once you have the information about your blood levels in your hands. You only need them to agree to check your levels here and there to make sure nothing is getting out of hand.
I'm not just saying "ask your doctor before supplementing" I am saying "Doctors are necessary idiots ask them to actually CHECK your blood levels before advising you on whether or not to supplement".
This is why I find it interesting that people with high blood pressure or chest pain or cardiac spasms are asked about their salt intake or told to avoid salt but aren't ever asked about their calcium intake. I'm kind of low-level pissed at all times that doctors don't check both of these mineral levels on a regular basis for everyone.
Having the right mineral levels, including these but also phosphorus and potassium and iron etc... has such a HUGE body-wide impact on things you would never guess they would impact so so badly, but they are like, the main components of the molecules your body uses to do everything, including like, signal nerves and move muscles. You use these things every time your heart beats and every time you breathe or have a thought, etc... They impact everything. Everything.
Hell a lot of lists of the minerals you need will straight up not even mention phosphorus, but your body uses phosphate groups to make ATP... You know, the molecule that is literally "energy" in your body at a cellular level. It is recommended that healthy adults get between 800 mg and 1,200 mg of phosphorus each day. And it's hard to source because most plant sources aren't bio-available unless you soak your grains [remember that trend of "activating" nuts and grains?... I like cokey-cola because is uses phosphoric acid in place of citric acid which gives it a dryer taste and helps my energy levels in ways not accounted for by the caffeine]. But also too much Phosphorus can pull calcium out of your bones and leave it free floating around your body to build up random places and cause problems!
Potassium is an important electrolyte in your BRAIN and without it you can't think critically and can be prone to all sorts of mental problems like confusion, depression, mental fatigue, running instinctively on autopilot and not engaging critically with ideas because you brain literally can't! Low Potassium makes you more susceptible to mental manipulation and lowers your defenses to negative thought patterns.
I know it can sound stupid and fake, but getting the nutrients you need really does impact your day to day health and specifically your energy levels and mood. Mineral deficiencies can cause depression, fatigue and anxiety and can make existing mental health problems so so much worse.
Kowing your micromineral levels is important! [I am sure trace minerals are important too but your body needs so little it's usually a lot harder to be deficient unless you have a very restricted diet or absorption issues].
Check your levels periodically with your doctor's help and make sure you keep them -not just- "in normal ranges" but have your doctor specify whether they are on the high or low end so you know where your wiggle room is to adjust accordingly depending on your symptoms and how those potentially reflect your personal body's needs. [ie: just because your iron isn't dangerously low doesn't mean supplementing it wouldn't help your energy levels, so long as you aren't getting too much, etc]
Btw this is also why starving yourself fucks you up. And it's why having a lot of food aversions gets tricky to manage. You need to eat. You need specific nutrients and not just calories [you need those too]. And by *need* I don't just mean you might feel slightly crappier in some vague abstract way, I mean you need it for your heart and brain to function correctly and for your muscles to move. [Your brain is you]

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT FAST ( PART1)
Once you've decided to begin a weight reduction journey, it's quite simple to become impatient since you want to see results as soon as possible, reach your goals, and reduce your weight as quickly as possible. Numerous diet and exercise plans claim to be the fastest method to lose weight, but how realistic, successful, and—above all—healthy is swift weight loss?
Is fast weight loss healthy? 
It's crucial to remember that each person is unique and that what suits one person may not be suitable for another. Everyone has distinct bodies, objectives, and procedures. Similar to this, a healthy strategy for one person may not be the same for another. For example, a heavier individual carrying more fat may anticipate losing weight faster than someone merely looking to shed a few pounds.
The strategies you choose and the speed at which you lose weight will often determine how healthy your weight reduction is. Your weight loss is probably good if you're maintaining a reasonable calorie intake, making sure your diet is balanced, and engaging in strenuous exercise without wearing yourself or your body out. On the other hand, if you're drastically cutting calories below what's advised, you may be losing weight fast but not in a healthy method that could be harmful to your body.
What are the risks of losing weight too fast?
Losing weight too fast can carry some risks, such as: 
Unsustainability
It can be quite challenging to maintain a rigorous diet and exercise routine over time while trying to reduce weight quickly. It's more of a temporary solution than a lifestyle shift. For instance, crash diets can be incredibly unsustainable and put you at risk of gaining back the weight you lost after you resume your normal eating routine.
Electrolyte imbalance
This occurs when the electrolyte balance in your diet is off (sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, and phosphate, for example). These are essential elements that support many crucial functions of your body, including the immune system, blood sugar, blood pressure, bone health, digestion, and the functions of your muscles and nerves. Although variations in electrolyte levels are normal, tampering with the balance your body needs to function regularly may cause problems like cramps, fever, dyspnea, exhaustion, disorientation, migraines, irregular heartbeats, and convulsions.
Malnutrition
Similar to electrolytes, a diet rich in nutrients provides your body with all the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients it needs to stay happy, healthy, and fit. You may be experiencing the symptoms of deficiencies and missing out on important nutritional benefits if you severely restrict your diet. Cutting carbs, for instance, can indicate a lack of fiber, which can cause nausea, constipation, or blood sugar swings; eliminating dairy entirely from your diet can indicate a calcium shortage, which can cause brittle bones or even osteoporosis. To ensure that your body gets the energy and minerals it needs to thrive, it's important to carefully analyze any dietary changes and look for substitutes.
Decreased muscle mass
The body may occasionally turn to muscle mass as a source of fuel when you lose weight too quickly. Therefore, you're actually losing essential muscle mass even though you're theoretically lowering the number on the scale. Not only is muscle necessary to maintain your body's optimal movement and tone, but it also burns calories faster than fat due to its higher metabolic activity.
Fatigue
Fatigue and exhaustion can result from depriving your body of the nutritious energy it requires, especially when combined with vigorous exercise. It could be difficult for you to get through the workday without becoming overly exhausted. Your body may have irregular and undesirable cravings for high-calorie foods or be less likely to work out when it is tired.
Low mood or irritability
Exercise has a terrific mood-boosting effect, but if you're too tired from pushing yourself in the gym and aren't eating enough to keep your energy levels up, you could find yourself feeling even more stressed, irritable, or angry. Low emotions might result from hunger and fatigue, which can make it difficult to concentrate or stay motivated.
Not only that but there are other dangers associated with losing weight quickly. These could be: 
Headaches
Dizziness
Hair loss
Menstrual irregularities
Can rapid weight loss be good for you? 
But is drastically cutting weight the only unhealthy way to go? Can it contribute positively to a journey toward well-being? In actuality, it truly depends on your body type and health objectives, although it might be. Some people lose weight more quickly than others because they have metabolisms that are significantly faster than average. When starting out on a healthy diet and exercise regimen, people frequently see faster initial weight loss (typically in the first few weeks) as their bodies acclimate to the new habits and shed water weight. Once these modifications become a more regular part of their routine, this normally slows down to a more regular pace of loss.
Unless you don't need to lose weight or are losing weight because of your health, losing weight shouldn't always happen quickly. What can be unhealthy is the method by which you lose weight. It's crucial to eat a balanced, healthful diet that gives your body the nourishment, fuel, and energy it needs to operate properly while concentrating on weight loss. If you combine this with a well-planned exercise regimen, you should be able to lose weight healthily. It could be worthwhile to consult a nutritionist or your general practitioner if you're worried that you're losing weight too quickly to make sure you're doing it the right way.
