I think lithium can also cause hand tremors in addition to it's potential toxicity.
If the price is the same you can try Now brand eve. The drs best looks like the better one of the two you posted. I don't know much about vitamins except you want the methyl version of B12, you don't want iron in a supplement, magnesium and zinc compete but they are almost always thrown in together. Despite the serving size saying 3 I think 1 a day should work. I take 1 every other day but my serving size is 2 capsules per serving. The prices on amazon are also wacky and range from reasonable to very high for the same product.

I really fell in love with the multi from Doctors Best. They use really good ingredients like methylfolate as their folate source, and methylcobalamin as their B12 source. It's basic and good quality.
Now a regular dose is 3 caps, however I do believe you can just limit it to one or two caps per day (I myself take one cap for breakfast and one cap for dinner for example).
Most multis are like this. You can usually get away with just taking half the dose, which saves your money, and should be more than enough to cover your bases.
> 180mg EPA & 120mg DHA
That's a little low. I'd try maybe [this brand](http://www.amazon.com/Now-Foods-Ultra-Soft-gels-180- Count/dp/B000SE5SY6) because It's the cheapest per mg omega 3 on amazon that I've found.

I've found that a lot of multivitamins don't include their ingredients in the most absorbable form. This is the one I take, because it seems to be the most absorbable multi that I've found.
Doctor's Best multivitamin
It has the best form of everything (no synthetics) at a reasonable price, but you might need to limit methyl b12's depending on your VDR taq status. Check this out for more: http://methyl-nation.com/comt-vdr-taq-the-mutation-series/.
Taking one of these multis a day (says to take 3) hasn't given me any overmethylating symptoms so far. Each capsule has way more of everything compared to your average multi, so 1 should be good to shore up an otherwise healthy diet avoiding folic acid wherever you can.
Here's another idea I've been toying with and might try myself, in case you can't tolerate any methyl b12: make your own "multi" stack with minerals and a b complex, adding L-methylfolate (only need half of these) and hydroxy/adenenosyl b12 seperately if you want those. This leaves A/C/D/E/K which I believe can be pretty much covered in a healthy diet and supplemented cheaply (D+C). If you have GSTP1 mutation, you should be avoiding supplemental E.
That B complex has the best forms of the other B's and leaves out Folic Acid and B12 for us. There's another, cheaper brand on amazon without Folic Acid but it has cyano b12. I'm not sure why cyano b12 is so bad to be honest - everything I read on the net about it is kind of vague/woo-woo, but I'm erring on the side of caution anyway (at a cost to the wallet!). Perhaps you can enlighten me?
Hope this was helpful, good luck.

>Cyano B12 contains a cyanide molecule. So when you take cyano B12 your body must first turn
it into hydroxy B12 in order to use it, and then must find a way to get rid of the toxic cyanide
molecule. We all know cyanide is a poison even if the rest of the B12 molecule is good for you.
The body actually uses hydroxy B12 in order to detoxify cyanide. So, not only is cyano B12 not
the form your body ultimately needs, but taking higher doses of cyano B12 may actually deplete
your hydroxy B12. So why would anyone use cyano B12 if it can be toxic? Well, in low doses it
may be helpful for the eyes, but for the most part cyano B12 is used because it is much less
expensive, and a form of B12 that is easier to keep stable.
Alright so honestly it sounds like as long as you get hydroxy, a little bit of cyano isn't a big deal (cyanide fears are majorly overblown reportedly). With that said I'm going to probably go with this B complex that's a much better value & low in cyano b12.
