DISCUSSION: 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.

Adult Dosage: Take 2 capsules daily with food, or as directed by a qualified
health care practitioner.
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.
