Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Spy, Another link re Vitamin B6. (From the former CMT newsletter) http://www.lindacrabtree.com/cmtnews/drugs-vitamins-dietary% 20supplements/Vit%20B6.html ALSO: Q: If vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) can be toxic to us in large doses, how much is too much? A: Dr. Bird answered this question a while back. " Large amounts of vitamin B6 can be toxic to nerves. The exact dose that is " too much " is not known. I would advise not taking more than 50mg a day. " Also remember that there is vit. B6 in foods (the highest are Brewer's Yeast, carrots, chicken, eggs, fish, meat, peas, spinach, sunflower seeds, walnuts and wheat germ) and check your other vitamins to make sure they don't have additional B6 added. A one-a-day type vitamin usually has a low amount of B6 in it. I'd say take as low a daily dose of vit. B6 as possible in your daily vitamins if you must take any at all. Vit. B6 in food is fine but don't supplement your diet with vit. B6. I know advice is often confusing and contradictory so why not play it safe and just take in what is in your food and maybe a one-a-day type vitamin.
