Numerous people have been trying out with Vitamin B to help them recollect their dreams and addition their chances of being aware that they are dreaming. This offers an opportunity to get into the dream and have some unheard of fun! It's known as Lucid Dreaming - but does Vitamin B really help? And how much should you take for maximum enjoyment without harm?
First, let's take a look at the benefits of Vitamin B (not related to Lucid Dreaming):
The B vitamins as a whole often work jointly to deliver a number of health benefits to the body.
B vitamins have been shown to:
*Bolster metabolism
*Maintain healthy skin and muscle tone
*Enhance immune and nervous system function
*Promote cell growth and division - including that of the red blood cells that help prevent anemia.
Together, they also help combat the symptoms and reasons of stress, depression, and cardiovascular disease.
This being said, trying out with Vitamin B can't be completely bad. However, B vitamins are water soluble, which means that after they are distributed throughout the body, whatever is not used is excreted. Therefore, you could be laying waste to your money if you overdue it.
Almost all the people begin with Vitamin B6 (or Sublingual B6, the kind that dissolves in the mouth). At least one preliminary analyze has found that this vitamin may increase dream vividness or the power to recall dreams. Experimenters with this Vitamin indicate using about 75 mg a night (or lower) and arrogate that this dosage should be adequate to raise your dreams. Vitamin B6 has been touted as the "Magic" vitamin, but then once again, some people are mixing it with Melatonin (which regulates the sleep-wake cycles) and/or Valerian (which is a sedative) and say that combining helps they have more intense Lucid Dreams.
It appears as those two additional mixtures are made to help an individual get to sleep, and have nothing to do with the dreaming aspect. Mixing and matching vitamins in various amounts before you go to sleep at night can be unsafe and is not suggested.
Unluckily, since most Vitamin B6 multi-vitamins are distributed in 2mg doses, you would have to take a lot of pills to accomplish 75mg, but be cautious, and an overdose of B6 can cause a temporary deadening of certain nerves such as the proprioceptory nerves; causing a feeling of disembodiment. In case you're wondering, this is NOT a good thing!
What about Vitamin B5?
Back to Wakipedia again: "Pantothenic acid, also called vitamin B5, is a water-soluble vitamin necessitated to sustain life. Pantothenic acid is needed to form coenzyme-A (CoA), and is thus critical in the metabolism and synthesis of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Its name is derived from the Greek pantothen meaning "from everywhere" and small quantities of pantothenic acid are found in nearly every food, with high amounts in whole grain cereals, legumes, eggs, meat, and royal jelly. It is ordinarily found as its alcohol analog, the provitamin panthenol, and as calcium pantothenate."
So, Vitamin B5 is good for you, but does it help you get Lucid Dreams? Unlike Vitamin B6, there is no bear witness to confirm that theory. However, there is prove that low doses of the herbal extract Galantamine (Reminyl/Razadyne) have made up with success used to improve thinking and memory. Since it's the memory portion of our brains we are trying to assure, it looks like Galantamine might be the key to feeling a dramatic boost in dreaming activity, vividness and clarity. Mixed with Vitamin B5, it will help you have exciting dreams that you will remember, and then when your memory starts to increase at night and you become more aware that you are dreaming, you can begin the Lucid Dreaming experience.
Once more, it is not good to try out with changing doses of these vitamins. The best choice would be to buy something that contained the ingredients you want in a dosage that has been verified and recommended.
Although Vitamin B Complex is essential to maintain health, there have been claims that overdose of this vitamin can lead to other health complaints. A high dose can direct to the production of bright yellow urine, as the excess is passed out of the body in this manner. This is not something to worry about and has not proved to be harmful to health.
