Natural high levels of B12 and B6

There has been some updated information since this was last updated in 2014 that indicates b6 supplements of 20mg taken over a period of time also are not recommended and can cause PN problems including heart palpations etc. European counties have recently deceased the amount allowed of b6 in supplements I believe to around 20mg. Most people get more than the RDA of b6 just from food. The RDA of b6 for adult males is just 1.7mg. The Protocol 525 that you have mentioned has no b6 and similar supplements to the one Ray is taking. I don't take the protocol 525 as I try to get all vitamins from food but I would choose it since it has no b6.

Good morning. Maybe someone following these posts about B6 can help me sort something out. I understand vitamin B6 is available as pyridoxine hydrochloride in multivitamins, vitamin B-complex, and vitamin B6 supplements. My neurologist tells me that pyridoxine hydrochloride in the form of vitamin B6, if taken in excess, can lead to toxicity with its various PN-like symptoms. He assures me, however, that the form of vitamin B6 that I’m taking in EB-N5, which is pyridoxal 5’-phosphate, is essentially different; pyridoxal 5’-phosphate comes with its own dosage guardrails, but not the same toxicity concerns that accompany pyridoxine hydrochloride. Have you met this “two forms of supplemental B6” issue in anything you’ve read or been told? I have found brief mention of it in only a few places. I’d love to get some clarity. –Ray (@ray666)
