[Zuckerwasser]

Hi all,

 

i ordered for the first time a multi, after reading that high doses are dangerous because over some time they do toxic things.

So i found a multi containing only vitamin b's, and each vitamin bx is dosed at 100% rda (vitamin b6 2mg 143% rda)

So today i remembered, that in my zma is also Vitamin B6.

So i get 11mg pyrodoxine-hcl, which is 525 % rda form the zma. Some time ago i read that if you take a large amount of zinc you need more vitamin b6, so that should be the reason, why there is so much inside. And btw zma is used for a long time without people getting problems with to much vitamin b6, right?

 

What do you think, is it to much? - 13mg 668% rda? Is the vitamin b6 in the zma already to much? What could be the otimal dose of vitamin b6?

 

If its too much, what could i do now with the already paid supps, like cycling, or is there a possibility of altering the bioavailability of vitamin b6, like taking with fat?

 

Thanks for help and greetings,

Zuckerwasser

It's water-soluble and you're probably peeing out the excess.

I just read on Wikipedia there are official upper limits at 100mg, 50mg, 25mg and 10mg.

So maybe im with 13mg ok?

The real problems with B6 (peripheral neuropathia) start with 100mg+ (rather 300mg+). So no reason for anny worries hear.

Agreed. That 100mg seems to be the upper limit... everyone is different, but you should play it safe if you don't have crazy out of whack homocysteine levels. I personally take 15-25 mg a day in the form of pyridoxine HCL.

I second Dolphs comment. Anything up to 50 mg of B6 - which is half the US upper limit - should be perfectly safe.
