Good morning, Debbie (@dbeshears1), bb0753 (@bb0753), zav (@zav)
Let's pool here what we learned about B6. I'd heard that B6 from supplements came with a caution, but until getting my doctor's suggestion that I try EB-N5, I had paid it little mind.
On its website, NIH presents two side-by-side fact sheets on B6, one for professionals and the other for consumers. The consumers' fact sheet, under "Can vitamin B6 be harmful?" says, "People almost never get too much vitamin B6 from food or beverages. But taking high amounts of vitamin B6 from supplements for a year or longer can cause severe nerve damage, leading people to lose control of their bodily movements. The symptoms usually stop when they stop taking the supplements."
I'll spend a little time later today looking into this. My doctor may be taking time off for the extended Fourth holiday, but I try calling him anyway.
Cheers, everyone!
