| Pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (P5P) is
the biologically active form of vitamin B6 that is utilized by the body.
Studies show that for people with compromised liver function, P5P is 3
times more likely to be absorbed than conventional B6. Inadequate levels
of plasma P5P can lead to anemia, depression, dermatitis, hypertension,
water retention, insomnia, premenstrual tension, irritability, muscle
twitching, convulsions, and kidney stones.

Safe at 100 mg per day
Cautions
At extremely high doses, vitamin B6 has been found to cause nerve damage.
The Institute of Medicine has established a no adverse effects level (NOAEL)
of 200 mg of Vitamin B6 per day, and a safe upper limit (UL) of 100 mg per
day. Do not exceed these limits from all vitamin B6 supplements
(pyridoxine and Pyridox-amine) combined. Discontinue vitamin B6
supplementation and consult a physician immediately if you experience
neurological symptoms such as numbness, burning, pain, pricking, or
tingling in your fingers or feet, or unusual clumsiness. Persons taking
many drugs - including 5-fluorouracil, hydralazine, levodopa,
nortriptyline, phenytoin, and tetracycline- should not take high dose
vitamin B6 supplements.
