Anecdotally, I've heard of people developing neuropathy at doses of 25mg/day, so I try to keep my intake below that.
Less anecdotally, regulatory agencies around the world have repeatedly lowered what they consider safe amounts of B6.
B6 is particularly an issue because there seems to be a general assumption that b vitamins are safe, and that water-soluble vitamins cannot be harmful. Couple that with the tendency of multivitamins and energy drinks to add b-vitamins, and it's very easy to end up overdosing on B6, which it turns out can be harmful despite being a water-soluble b-vitamin.
- genewitch 2y agoAh, now i get it, it's like tylenol is in most OTC medicines because it's considered so safe. I'll steer clear of supplementing B6. I don't really get much effect from B vitamins anyhow, so i guess i get enough in my diet and occasional multivitamin. Thanks for the heads' up, this is completely different than the 250mg mentioned elsewhere (iirc) - i'll let people know. aside: L-theanine made me jittery, boy. Not a fan.
