Frequently asked questions
-
Yes. The EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) for Vitamin B6 is 1.4mg per day. This product provides 100mg per capsule, which is 7,143% NRV. The EU upper tolerable intake level for adults is 25mg per day. This product significantly exceeds that threshold and is intended for short-term use only. If you are considering long-term supplementation, consult a healthcare professional before use.
-
Long-term intake of high doses of Vitamin B6 has been associated with peripheral neuropathy — symptoms affecting sensation in the hands and feet. The risk increases with dose and duration. The FSA advises against long-term use of doses above 10mg per day without medical supervision. This product should not be used continuously without consulting a healthcare professional.
-
Vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal formation of red blood cells, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal function of the immune system, reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and normal protein and glycogen metabolism. These are authorised EU health claims.
-
Yes. Vitamin B6 is water-soluble, meaning it is not stored in significant amounts in the body and excess is excreted in urine. However, water-solubility does not mean high doses are without risk — the peripheral neuropathy risk from chronic high-dose B6 is well documented despite it being a water-soluble vitamin.
-
Yes. The capsule shell is HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a plant-derived material. The formula contains only Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) with no fillers, binders or additives.
-
Each pack contains 90 capsules. At one capsule daily this is a 90-day supply. Given the high dose, do not exceed one capsule daily and consult a healthcare professional if you intend to use this product for more than a few weeks.
