Vitamin B6 Toxicity and Nerve Pain

and b6 for example was a really common one that people would overdose because you have a look at the fifa protocols and this weird stuff that people are doing now they're using mega doses of b6 so like the levels of b6 you need in a day is like 10 milligrams for example um maybe 20 30 milligrams depending on your demand but like for example during pregnancy to treat morning sickness people use 450 milligrams of B6 wow and that's like wrong and then with this fifa protocol in children people are using hundreds of milligrams of B6 in tiny little infants and the problems that we see in the clinic is you get people coming through telling in the prescriptions

and they're telling you why they need these mega doses of B6 and they're listing off all of these things like nerve pain and hormonal problems and brain problems and all that. So, Steve-O, what are the side effects of B6 overdose? The great thing about remembering the side effects of B6 overdose and B6 deficiency is they're identical. Because if you give too much B6, now I'll be specific here, pyridoxine, which is the common B6 found in supplements, it actually blocks the active form of B6, which is pyridoxal 5-phosphate. So if you take too much B6, the side effects of the B6 supplementation mimic exactly if you're deficient in B6. So if you take B6, you'll become deficient in B6 because you're blocking the active form of B6. And it's not easy to measure. So basically, and a very similar thing happens with synthetic folic acid. So when people overdose folic acid, it actually overwhelms the conversion pathways to stop and they get unmetabolized folic acid building up into their body. that it actually creates folic acid deficiency signs and creates a whole heap of other problems in itself. We've got to remember folic acid is not found in nature. Folic acid is oxidized, reduced form, and oxidized, sorry, oxidized, just oxidized, not reduced form, and it causes major problems in the body.
