Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 , This is why. It will make CMT worse. This is on the Medical Alert List and has also been researched. http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/vitaminb6/#h7 What is the health risk of too much vitamin B6? Too much vitamin B6 can result in nerve damage to the arms and legs. This neuropathy is usually related to high intake of vitamin B6 from supplements, [22] and is reversible when supplementation is stopped. According to the Institute of Medicine, " Several reports show sensory neuropathy at doses lower than 500 mg per day " [12]. As previously mentioned, the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine has established an upper tolerable intake level (UL) for vitamin B6 of 100 mg per day for all adults [12]. " As intake increases above the UL, the risk of adverse effects increases [12].

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 So the multi-vit that my daughters are on has Vitamin B-6 (As Pyridoxine Hydrochloride) 0.8 Mg. This is safe per the report by Dr Parry? We've not actually met with our specialist since getting the diagnosis (we have a meeting at the end of the month), so I'm making a list of addtional questions.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 , The daily recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) of vitamin B6 are: Infants 0-6 months, 0.1 mg; Infants 7-12 months, 0.3 mg; Children 1-3 years, 0.5 mg; Children 4-8 years, 0.6 mg. I seem to recall your girls are 3 years old. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/natural/934.html Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
