I’m sure you’ll be thorough. As an aside, 3 weeks ago I replenished my OTC Magnesium supplements - I always just settle for whatever Buy 1 Get 1 Free I see. I didn’t pay attention that I bought 400mg capsules instead of 200mg. RDA is only 250-300mg and I know I get some (if not enough) from diet, but take the supplement to help PN and regularity. Anyway, in recent days I realized I must be overdosing on Mg; I was having concerning increase in muscle/nerve weakness and twitching. As well as GI changes. Dr. Google lists those as excess Mg symptoms, even though it doesn’t seem like much. I wish I’d paid attention sooner and had not changed my dosage (hindsight is always great) I just stopped it last night and hope I return to my “normal “ soon to confirm.
I have no doubt you’ll be monitoring everything as you try this supplement and it’s good to share with everyone else looking for quality of life maintenance or improvement. I have low blood sugar, which is one reason my doctor has wanted me to stay away from some regimes.

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!
