Psirene Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hi everyone. I just officially started my Whole30 two days ago. I haven't been taking my B Vitamins (Solaray, B Complex 50, has rice bran concentrate in the ingredients) or my multivitamins (Rainbow Light Pre-Natal Tabs, has soy lecithin in the glaze). I am continuing to take my fish oil pills as they have no prohibited ingredients. All that being said, I'd really like to continue taking a B vitamin as it keeps the bugs away from me. This is a big deal for me, so I'd like to keep it going. Can anyone recommend a Whole30-compliant B vitamin? I have looked through the forum, searching, and I didn't find any recommendations for compliant Bs. (ps, I live in Phoenix, so although most places are starting to cool off, we're just getting less slightly stupid in heat so bugs are still a big concern) Thanks! (ETA - I've read the various pages about supplements and vitamins, but I didn't see anything about B vitamins specifically. I know I have a bit of a sensitivity to soy, so that's why I'm not just taking the multis I have. Rice is the one thing I've never cut out of my diet, so if I have a sensitivity to it, it seems like the tiny bit in the rice bran concentrate might still affect me. I don't think I have problems with rice, but I thought the same thing about wheat until I stopped eating it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primalamy Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 NOW makes a B-100 supplement that I believe should be complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psirene Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'll check them out, thank you. I know nothing about NOW... are they a good product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primalamy Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Yes, they sell a bunch of Whole 30 compliant supplements. Be sure to check the labels though, because not all of them are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psirene Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 My local Sprouts didn't have any NOW B vitamins. I ended up getting a little bottle of Blue Bonnet B complex... the ingredient list was clean, and it wasn't super expensive. Also, it seems that biotin is often extracted/sourced from rice. FYI. Many of the B complex pills, that bothered to say where the particular B vitamins came from, listed that the biotin came from rice or rice bran.
