So if you take actually 3 times the daily dose, 6 scoops in total, and you're actually paying 179,85 a month? I couldn't afford that much, but of course I'm Ok with that, if it's fine with you.
30 servings per jar
*Values are per serving.
Serving size is 2 scoops per day in divided doses.
(Scoop is included in jar.)
I priced the Koncentrated K,and and 60 tablets is around $50 per bottle of 60 (both on Amazon and the Koncentrated K site have it as around $45, with $5.95 shipping); that is one single addition for almost the cost of the A9 with all the other supplements compbined.
But with this evaluation it rather seems you confuse 3 scoops and 1.5 the daily dose of arcorsine-9. Still, don't understand how in this case 22,50 (for a month daily dose of KconcentratedK) would be almost the cost of 89,93 (also a month worth) of arcosine-9 costs? Still getting half of what you thought. Shipping costs can substantially be reduced by buying a whole years worth.
My Super B does have folic acid in it. I can add the homocysteine to my next labs.
LEF sells a cheap bioactive-B-complex without folic acid, with many of the more bioavailable B-vitamins in it. Also sell a good Two-per-day multi without copper and little manganese, again without folic acid and with bioavailable B-vitamins. Price goes down substancially if you shop with them during overstock-sales, or at the end of year super-sale. Buying more at once brings the price down again.
I don't ever tell what to do. Only what I would do in your case. Homocysteine testing in this case would be priority.
I'm not understanding where the ratios are off, but again,..
I originally stared with buffered AA capsules and got up to around 15000 a day in 3 divided doses, no problem, but got hit hard when I took 2 scoops of A9 when I got it. I am positive I need more C, and that BT issue does not mean I am saturated, just can't take more right now.
Just one example, the expensive arcosine-9 would give you with at a 3 times daily dose 9 g lysine and 9 g ascorbic acid. Usually 6 g of lysine and 18 g of ascorbic acid are needed with CVD. You couldn't go there with arcosine-9, because you get issues already at much lower doses. And you the heck can't single out the actual offender with arcosine-9, because beside the ascorbic acid it could be any of the other ingredients which is actually offending in your case.
In my case arcosine-9 is out of question because of issues with homocysteine and it being essential not to get any folic acid (which is also in fortified foods), but methylfolate and methylcobalamin instead. In your case you could, if without homocysteine issues and sorted out which ingredient is offending you, just adjust the dose to 4 scoops (which would give just the right dose of lysine), and/or take the ingredients you need more of additionally, individually.
One more thing, Linus Pauling said: 'Don't miss a single day' taking vitamin C. Just calculated for fun that in the 8 years of consuming ascorbic acid, it already amounts to more than my body weight. You rather wouldn't want such amounts in capsules, which always come with fillers. Use pure ascorbic acid powder with a sprinkle of sodium bicarbonate instead
