Hi,
For the first time in my life I experienced typical "Low Blood Sugar" symptoms, I rushed to the hospital because I explained them what I was feeling at that moment (because it never happened to me before) and they told me to come over. When I came and they checked me in, they measured blood levels of glucose and it was very low.
I had certain symptoms (not as worse) some days before that I decided to quit all supplements. Prior to today, I haven't used it for 3 days and I was destined to find the culprit. Yesterday I took almost every supplement except for one and nothing happened. Didn't really experience anything bad. Today, I took 1 pill of what I thought was the culprit and that's Thorne 2/Day. Right after eating, boom, I got hit. Just like another bad experience I had before, I felt miserable and had the typical low glucose symptoms (this is my 2nd bad experience in such a small time window but this one was different). So I threw out the bottle. A couple of things on a sidenote:
- I have used Thorne 2/day back in the days without a problem (even during Ramadan, when I was fasting) but now I am almost 99,99999999% sure that this is it. This is what caused low blood sugars, is it perhaps of the high doses of selenium or chromium in it that is causing it because I think that's most certainly the case but I might be wrong though? The other vitamins I take at high doses don't really cause these symptoms, except amplify when it happens such as vitamin k2 (but not as bad). So yesterday I took vitamin k2 on it's own and nothing happened but I do think it will amplify the effects of other vitamins/minerals that lower blood glucose. I don't think k2 will cause such a thing because I have used upwards of 60-75mg when I started using k2 so that can't be it, since I am using 9-12mg on a daily basis. I might cut it to 6mg a day.
- Lately, I do 1-2 times of fasting in a week (I am quite ripped already) and that has effect on my sugar too I suppose but I don't think it is the cause of such an extreme response like I had today. What's even more interesting is, I had done a fast on thursday and felt completely fine at the end of the day (because it was one of the 3 days where I didn't use any supplement)
- How bad is it to have low blood glucose, as I understand that the body makes alot of insulin which lowers the glucose. Does that mean a body is very efficient or am I just totally wrong on that (this again shows how little I know on hormones)
- I also don't eat honey since 1.5 months ago and I will start eating it again, perhaps the honey was what I needed. I usually eat this in the morning.
Here you can find the info on dosings regarding that multi (I threw away the whole bottle btw): https://www.thorne.com/products/dp/basic-nutrients-2-day
