B6 Supplements

**carpefula** · 01-26-2010 08:25 AM

Hi everyone,

I just wondered what strength B6 supplements you take (if at all). The reason being that the RDA is only 1.3mg and the lowest strength supplement I can find is 10mg.

The supplements that I have are a whopping 100mg. So what I do is only take one every two days whilst on my period and that's it.

Does anyone know how you can go about getting a supplement that is lower than 10mg? Also... the risks of taking too much B6, am I blowing them out of proportion, perhaps you think a 10mg supplement is safe?

Thanks,

~carp

Vitamin B6 is likely to be overdosed, and a dosage that is too high can affect the nervous system negatively. So far, I have yet to find B6 that is lower than 10mg though.

I like to take just natural 'whole food' supplements that deliver nutrients in their natural configurations.

I'm not a firm believer in isolated nutrients squeezed together in an 'artificial' supplement. The take-up of the natural variants seems to be much better too.

For example, I like green supplements and things like that (such as chlorella, wheatgrass, etc.). Full of nutrients and I feel great on them.

(But I don't think I'm immune to the placebo effect of course...)
