Hello,

As a footnote to this conversation: EB-N5 contains Vitamin B6. That's of concern to many people. As it was explained to me, there are two sorts of B6: pyridoxine hydrochloride and and pyridoxal phospahte.

The former, when taken in excess, can aggravate or add to PN symptoms; that's understandingly of concern to us PNers. The latter, however, the pyridoxal phosphate, is water soluble and has not been shown to create or add to PN symptoms. My two neuro docs endorse EB-N5.

I say all this not as a physician but as a fellow PNer, has done lots of armchair reading, has been using EB-N5 for going on two years, and whose PN––for whatever reason (possibly not the EB-N5)––has been in abeyance.

My sister is having good results with EB-N6. The ingredients list is slightly different, but EB-N5 sounds like the best choice with your two neurologists recommending it. I am planning to order it soon. Thanks for the additional information.
