For many years I have dipped in and out of the world of supplements... vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc etc. I am fairly knowledgeable regarding nutrition, and I do feel that some people need various top ups from time to time. I am a very healthy eater but I have a dodgy immune system (prefer not to elaborate on that), so I do resort to supplementation at times. In the winter I always take vitamin D sublingual spray, and I find that I also need B12 as have malabsorption problems.
However, I do believe wholeheartedly, that we can do harm with supplements if they are not required.
I recently bought myself some Metatone tonic. I usually buy very good quality (Solgar) supplements but I saw this in Waitose and I remember years ago, my mother used to use this if she was feeling run down. I thought I would give it a try. Interestingly, after only one day, it gave me an awful feeling of being wired. I also noticed that my eyes looked odd.. took on a slightly yellow tinge and I looked completely drained....dry mouth too. I don't usually suffer with anxiety at all, and so it was noticeable.
Of course when you Google anything like this, you will invariably only see positive reviews. I felt totally wiped out and had to go to bed early.. really unusual for me. It was as if I had a shot of adrenaline that led to a crash afterwards.
I was wondering if anyone else had had this with Metatone. I notice that the main ingredient in it, is Thiamine (B1).
Random post but was interested.
