Common questions about FaBB
Supplements like FaBB contain certain important nutrients. Vitamin B6 (or pyridoxine) helps many proteins in your body to work properly. It's also important for immune system function and brain development. Folate (or folic acid) is important for making red blood cells and your genetic material (DNA). Finally, vitamin B12 is responsible for keeping your blood and nerve cells healthy. Both folate and vitamin B12 can help treat or prevent certain types of anemia.
No. While you're taking FaBB, don't take any other dietary supplements containing vitamin B6, folate, or vitamin B12 without talking to your provider first. Too much of one of these vitamins can be harmful to you. For example, taking too much folate can hide vitamin B12 deficiency, but worsen other symptoms of low vitamin B12 levels like nerve problems. This is because folate can treat anemia, but not the nerve damage, that low vitamin B12 levels cause.
Don't give FaBB to a child under 18 years old without talking to their provider first. Children need different amounts of these vitamins compared to adults. Your child's nutritional requirements can also differ depending on their medical conditions.
It depends on your medical conditions and the reason you're taking FaBB. Discuss with your provider how long you should take this dietary supplement. Your provider might monitor your vitamin levels through blood work to see if it's working well for you, so make sure to not miss any of your appointments.
