It has been specifically formulated to help prevent hair loss with extra biotin, help prevent the type of kidney stones that topiramate may cause with extra B-6, and to replace other B vitamins, folic acid, and vitamin B-12. Vitamin B-12 deficiency can cause fatigue, depression, poor memory, neuropathy, and anemia. High doses of oral vitamin B-12 can correct this deficiency without vitamin B-12 shots, as long as you continue to take the oral form. Patients with gastric bypass or thyroid disorders are especially susceptible to low vitamin B-12 levels. You would need three separate B vitamin pills to match this product. Serving size is one capsule daily.
