Side Effects of Excessive Vitamin B6

From the website National Institute of Health.org,
this is a chart of accepted Vitamin B6 doses:



Experts from the National Institute of Health say, "High intakes of vitamin B6 from food sources is not reported to have adverse effects. However, chronic administration of 1-6 g oral pyridoxine (B6) per day for 12-40 months can cause severe and progressive sensory neuropathy characterized by ataxia (loss of control of bodily movements)".  

Other symptoms are gastrointestinal, such as heartburn, nausea,  loss of appetite, and abdominal pain. Skin issues, such as painful, disfiguring dermatological lesions and allergic skin reactions. Also light sensitivity. Too much Vitamin B6 has been linked to nerve damage. Imbalance of Vitamins - taking too much of one B vitamin may cause an imbalance with the other B vitamins to the point of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.

Symptoms of toxicity have been reported in people taking over 1,000 mg daily. These symptoms resolve with reduction of B6. According to the writers of Live Strong.com, "Although no studies have shown human toxicity when daily vitamin B6  intake is below 200 mg. The National Academy of Science has established a upper tolerable limit of 100 mg daily for adults."

After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...
