[@marleennijland4244]

My GP knows practically nothing about vitamins, let alone nutrition. That's why I watch your videos, dr Osborne. Maybe my GP knows more than I think she does, but she is not allowed to advise me on that. The only thing she can do is prescribe a pharmaceutical.

[@Vixinaful]

@@jadep4802 200 mg for a few months and then Im taking just 100mg. 200 is the absolute max. :)

[@Vixinaful]

@@SkedgySky Pyridoxine. Yeah I went down after a while to 100. 200 is only to get it up higher in the beginning.

RDI for B6 is about 2mg per day, some doctors say that taking much more than 10-15mg per day can result in long term nerve damage in some patients. European regs prevent supplements from having more than 25mg in a supplement... American and Australian regs are way behind the European ones (still at 100mg per day). There is even talk that the UK and Europe are currently considering lowering their maximum in a supplement to 10 mg / 12 mg respectively (as per discussion papers). Generally water soluble B vitamins are flushed from the system easily so there are no build ups, however B6 has been shown to accumulate over the long term in the event of other dietary deficiencies / internal organs no longer working optimally. Long term B6 has been known to accumulate in the nerves and is a leading cause of peripheral neuropathy / skin issues. Personally I usually take 6mg B6 in my daily multi, sometimes I get another 5mg when I take an iron supplement, works fine for me.

[@RonsonDalby]

Australia now has a rule that 10mg or more must carry a warning about the risk of peripheral neuropathy. I have a B6 level 6 times the norm and the only non-natural intake I have of B6 was a multivitamin with 12mg. Yes, I have PN.

[@albineg]

p5p, the active form does not cause this info as far as I know.

[@gilly8876]

​@@albinegit does! That is a myth. It's a bit better but still can make you toxic.

[@gilly8876]

Thank you for stating these facts. Unless you have a health issue depleting absorption of nutrients, absolutely Noone in the US needs B6. The US already fortifies everything with it. You literally cannot escape overconsumption of b6. B6 toxicity is more likely than deficiency in the US. Use with caution. I wish I'd known.

[@albineg]

@@gilly8876 haven't seen this personally. But anything can happen with anyone with anything so I believe it is possible yes. Less likely though.

I was very low in B6 had depression, low red blood count, estrogen that wasn’t detoxing my dr never told me these were related. He put me on high dose b6. Thing is I was already taking pretty high b6 before he tested me. I wondered what caused my b6 to be so low. I do have autoimmune psoriasis.

26:20 I think you just cured my shortness of breath. It's been on and off for some years now, recently it's come back and I just don't get it why it just comes out of the blue... But I've stopped taking a magnesium supplement that had added b6 in it, replaced the supplement with pure powder magnesium supplement, and if lack of b6 can cause shortness of breath, you might have just made me aware of how to cure this issue. It's as if, when I breathe in air, it feels like there is a delay before I feel the oxygen in my blood, it's like taking 2-5 seconds sometimes before I can feel my inhalation having any effect at all. But I've also noticed that ZINC supplements causing these breathing issues, which I also been taking lately again, but stopped immediately again now that the breathing issues are back..

[@Sconzette]

Dr. Osborne, hello from NY. I already suffer from small fiber neuropathy (Idiopathic) so I avoid the B6 vitamin. I do get B6 from many of the meats and vegs you mention. I often wonder if I should take a low dose of B6 to "help" with my dysfunctional painful nerves or should I just avoid B6 supplementation? I am not B6 deficient. My last Lab level was 22.
