Content: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12. The large variety can be confusing when wondering which ones best benefit people with MS. A 2018 brochure from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) recommends taking B6 (pyridoxine) and B12 (cobalamin). To raise B6 levels, eat salmon, tuna, pork, chicken, beans, bananas, and lots of vegetables, among other food sources. For B12, consume meat, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or shellfish. Both vitamins are available in supplemental form. Vitamin B6 helps with the metabolism of amino acids within the body, which develops protein. Bodies need vitamin B12 to create red blood cells and ensure the nervous system’s efficient operation. I feel good taking vitamin B complex — a combination of B vitamins. I feel it gives me more energy, and the predetermined dosing means I don’t have to worry about overdoing it.
