I have b6 toxicity. I have neuropathy in my legs and feet. My body is very sensitive.....even the water from the shower hurts me. The issues did not go away after I stopped supplementing. I feel very sad about it. It took the 3rd neurologist to find it. The first two never checked it. Permanent damage. I hope no-one else is suffering with this. Please people...... Be careful!
It takes 6mo to a year for the nerves to heal. Eat a low b6 diet to help with the symptoms, drink lots of water and zero Gatorade especially before you go to sleep. You will still have flairs of painful symptoms occasionally during the months of healing. The b6 gets stored in muscles and liver after long periods of high doses of b6...it slowly is released and leaves the body...hope/florida
IDKY there aren't more videos about this. I've been taking around 50mg B-6 in a methyl-multi B for 3-4 yrs. Symptoms of toxicity came on slow, but got SERIOUS. Serious brain fog, visual snow, blurry vision, dizziness, feeling drunk when walking, tingling in left hip down to the toes, tremors in my face, tinnitus, random muscle twitching... then eventually severe depression, anxiety and even minor hallucinations. Along with severe thirst & inability to hold in any water. Like 1 liter of water would make me pee 5-6 times. Now I never got tested. But my brother was only taking >>>10mg a day in a ZMA sleep formula and developed toxicity at 150ng. I was taking 5xs that amount. Which I THOUGHT was safe. But alerted me to why I was feeling so bad. So I stopped taking B-6 5 days ago. By day 3 I already felt pretty different. Tingling in legs was gone. Facial twitching stopped. Depression lifted a bit. Auditory hallucinations have mostly stopped. But I still have bad brain fog & fatigue. I've also noticed the "rebound" they talk about (in the FB B6 toxicity group) is real. Though it took about 5 days to start. I slept horribly last night. Barely slept at all. Woke up feeling like I'm withdrawing from something. But the wds are really hard to describe. Like I'm shaky, getting flushy feelings that come & go, blurry vision that comes & goes, with these weird nerve sensations that feel like tiny needles are stabbing my skin. I had read about B6 toxicity before I started taking it but everyone said you had to take over 100-200mg a day. That is CLEARLY false. I also can't believe the half life of this stuff is almost 40 days. That is insane. It's gonna take a month just to achieve minor improvements. If anyone experiences this in the future & reads this comment, feel free to ask me if I've recovered yet. I will likely do a video to warn others. They are putting 40mg B-6 in energy drinks and we have research in the 40s that proved B-6 is a neurotoxin. SO CRAZY!
@@ClixTheCoolCook So I'm 3 months in and would say I'm 50% better. Most the intense symptoms have gone. Tinnitus, visual snow, fatigue, weakness... vision is still blurry, have brain fog & a chemical like ADD problem. Very hard to focus or concentrate. Think it will take 6-12 months to fully heal from this. How are you now?
@@robertcece6972 Oh good Lord... I have a very long road ahead of me. I'm one day in & terrified for what the future holds. I've had extremely elevated levels for years & debilitating periphery neuropathy from it. Do you think weening off would be a better option than cold turkey? I just don't know what to do 😭
According to the studies I seen, it's an issue when: 1) one takes >200mg/day - some set the limit @ >1000mg/day 2) over months if not years 3) and the effected person is taking the Pyridoxine HCL. I've read a couple peer reviewed papers, which claimed that the only cases of B6 toxicity involved the Pyridoxine HCL version of B6, and none with the Pyidoxal-5-Phosphate (P5P) version. I've also watch medical videos, some of which were talks at medical institutes or schools, which said the same. 4) It's never been shown what the actual and proven causality of a B6 toxicity which presents itself in neuropathy is, however it has been shown by dozens of studies, that those who already neuropathy experience reduced neuropathic discomfort with therapeutic dosages of Pyidoxal-5-Phosphate (P5P). And that causality has been shown on the chemical/theoretical basis, with animal studies and human clinical studies as well as double blind placebo studies. Pretty much all neurologist and researchers agree, that the Pyidoxal-5-Phosphate (P5P) form is not dangerous, whereas the real danger is with the Pyridoxine HCL form.
Glad for the awareness! Pyridoxine in doses of milligrams is definitely an issue. However, the Pyridoxal form can also be an issue in some. It's uncertain if it still overwhelms the liver and/or transport in plasma. It may still overwhelm PDXK intracellular. In any case, it can still create toxicity. For people that have become toxic, they seem to be at a higher risk of being toxic from even high B6 foods (like Bananas, Pistachios, Salmon, Beef). Personally, I have experienced toxicity from both Pyridoxine and P5P. Glad I figured it out though
@@johndickson505 Doing much much better, but I discovered my bigger issue was Vitamin A and its metabolites retinoic acid and retinaldehyde, which Pyridoxal as an aldehyde shares some detox plumbing with.
I had tingling in my body so I read my lab results because the doctor didn’t know what was causing it. . I saw that my B6 levels are too high (147). Once I stopped taking my vitamins with B6 in it my tingling stopped. I feel so much better. Update: now I am having burning sensations in arms and legs. Would that come from too much B6? This is a horrible feeling. D3 is a little too high also. I’m never taking supplements on my own again.
@@holistikirsty3167 Kristy make sure you lower your levels of b6 in your diet as well as you heal and stay super hydrated health line has a article about lowering b6 levels that helped me get my b6 levels back in the normal range quickly after I stopped supplements

Yes! TFS, I found a study about why symptoms of b6 toxicity are the same as b6 deficiency and it suggested it was because the inactive pyridoxine version was blocking the activity of the active p5p based on findings of their experiment... Effectively the toxicity is causing a deficiency too. But comments and videos on toxicity weren't clarifying which ones they used. I'm also as annoyed as you at the high percentage in products. The b6 one really knocked it home for me, selling 100mg products and then putting a little disclaimer on the label that studies have shown it can cause neuropathy over 10mg, but no one will do the responsible thing and create smaller doses. I bought a dissolvable p5p with 50mg in it divided it into about 25 portions, I'm trying be extra safe here even though p5p is supposed to be the good version.
there are people who become b6 toxic from eating too much b6 in their diet and taking absolutely no supplements. p5p is no safer. my supplement that caused my issues had p5p in it.
After my gastric bypass I called the doctor with burning mouth syndrome, he says it happens sometimes it's very rare. My pyridoxine was level 40, 20 above the Kaiser standard. They took me off the bariatric vitamins and about 30 days later no more burning mouth syndrome.
How long does it take to clear the body? My levels were 103.4 and I have left leg tingling and numbness and sometimes left arm and fingers. Also how long for nerves to heal? Thanks 🙏

I have been taking Jarrow methylated Folate, B6 and B12 off and on for years due to chronically low B12. I have developed sudden onset neuropathy of hands and feet, a internal burning sensation of lower legs (at night) , burning mouth syndrome ( dentist had never heard of severe burning sensation of mouth and PCP treated for Oral thrush with antifungals which did nothing to help), extreme fatigue, shortness of breath on exertion, cloudy vision, flank pain ( over kidneys), severe anxiety, and other issues. My cortisol was checked recently unrelated to all this and was below normal range, checked again a few weeks later and still dropping. of course I quit the supplement but symptoms persist. Then I read B6 toxicity can decrese cortisol levels so it has all begun to make sense. If you have these symptoms, please get your cortisol level checked- it's your fight or flight hormone that helps your body deal with stress. the type of B6 in the supplement I was on is Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate 1.5 mg.
My b6 is extremely high - I’m experiencing awful neuro side effects. There’s nothing out of ordinary in my diet. Any extra helpful tips is highly appreciated.
Wow.. I had thought I might have a deficiency so I had my B vitamin levels checked. Says red range is 20-125. My level was 235. So I guess I can rethink my B-Complex Multi Vitamin.
I am b6 toxic and it's hell :/ I'm about 4.5 months of healing and getting better every day, but still struggling. Don't know when I'll be healed, but hoping soon.
I started taking multivitamins for a month on and off. Just developed insomnia and tingling/pins and needles everywhere. Just now figured it might be B6 toxicity. My vision starts to get fuzzy and my liver starts to hurt. I also get alot of bloating. Will get off multi vitamins. I think its making my health worst actually. I realized I never needed it.
So if one is toxic, what food can you eat? It seem like almost everything has b6. I’m also dealing with Hpylori and on antibiotics. So I have no idea what to eat. I am experiencing symptoms of toxicity as my lab values are high. Please help. Thank you.
Not sure what to do. I use 50mg of P5P because I have nerve issues in feet. I do use a lot of the foods you mentioned so maybe its not necessary to take a 50mg supplement. Possibly a Blood test for B6 will tell me if I'm to high but its still a big decision.
Both my mum and I have b6 overload and we don’t supplement and only eat whole foods 🥺 I’m not sure what else to do? Her level is 700 and mine is 200 the doctors are scratching their heads not knowing how to treat this! do you think the high levels could actually be a deficiency??
I would look to liver health to help clear it. Reducing processed carbs and eliminating alcohol, and adding tudca and bile stimulating foods can be helpful.
I had low folate levels 2.3, doctor gave me 5mg folic acid every day for 4months and now my levels are too high…35.5ul feeling nauseous everyday…now I have the answer they are now in the bin..thankyou
Me too, I got it from eating sweet potatoes 3 times a day, my thumb kept twitching and I couldn't feel my legs while walking, it's better now I'm on the No B6 diet, eat these foods: Egg whites (not yolks) Apples/pears or apple juice/pear juice White rice White bread White pasta Lamb (Lamb has some B6 but it's very very low compared to beef, I've seen a nutrient comparison, you won't get much B6 from lamb) And drink lots of water every day, B6 is water soluble, it comes out in the urine, drink like 8 glasses of water every morning. My muscle twitching and leg numbness improved a lot in 1 day
ive been drinking energy drinks for decades. ive had all the crazy symptoms. for example, redbull has 300% rda in one small can. other drinks have tixic vitamin A.
I have been having numbness and tingling in my hands, also neck pain. I've been trying to figure out what the source of the problem is. I'm now thinking that it could be the b6 in the energy drinks I consume. Going to stop drinking energy drinks and see if that makes a difference
I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me then I quit taking neuriva plus and started feeling better. I'm sure it was the b6 in it that was making me sick
@@DrChristianson Thanks I definitely think it was the b6 because I've felt much better since quitting it. I now occasionally take things with B6 in them because it helps regulate my weight but it's a much smaller dose and I don't take it daily like i was with the Neuriva plus.
@loboneiner1034 Thank you for your reply and I'm glad you are better. I'm surprised the 1.7mg in Neuriva Plus was toxic and good thing that you stopped when you did. I took 25mg Vit B6 for 4 days and started getting symptoms. I stopped taking that supplement 2 days ago, hopefully I recover as fast as you but my dosage was a lot higher so maybe not.

1mg of P5P per day might be a somewhat reasonable boost if you are getting 1mg a day from food. Also, provided you are getting co-factors like riboflavin, magnesium, zinc, etc.
How do I get rid of excess b6? I have suffered from high b6 and low b12 for over a decade and after covid things got worse and I developed severe neuropathy in my feet, my doctor insisted that I take a formula that continues to be injectable b1, b12 and b6 but everything got even worse, Now I'm just injecting b12 separately (3 months) and I felt a slight improvement in my feet, but my b6 is still high and the adverse effects such as absurd insomnia and anxiety, excessive urination and body aches remain. Is there any medication or supplement that reduces it? Maybe riboflavin?
@@nameofthegame9664 Descobri que o problema na verdade era intolerância a histamina e MCAS que desenvolvi depois de usar NAC com benfotiamina, descobri da pior maneira que os sintomas se agravavam com varias substancias dentre elas a vitamina b6, hoje sou sensível a vários suplementos que antes eu podia tomar normalmente. Após tratar minha deficiência em b12 meus níveis de b6 retornaram ao normal porém a neuropatia, câimbras, dores e insônia só diminuíram(mas não sumiram) a medida que fui controlando o metabolismo da histamina com antialérgicos, 2mg de cobre e suplementos de enzima DAO.
So good thanks doctor. I like how you said 100mg is too much. Not many willsay how much is dangerous. So thankful. I feel sick after taking b6 i got fatty liver too. I use to take 100mg and then cut down to 50mg. I am gonna stop it from today. Its not gonna help me at all. Igot heart burn too.

I was taking a b complex for just over a week that had high level of b6 in it (25 mg) , I developed tingling and burning in my feet after just over a week and slight numbness in my face started almost immediatly , luckily I had read about tingling with high levels b6 so I discontinued use immediately. I had blood work to rule out anything els but unfortunately the b6 portion of the blood test never showed up. However a week and a half after discontinuing use my symptoms are almost fully gone so I think its safe to say I had too much b6 going on. *edit to mention I actually did get the blood test results back and my b6 was infect elevated like I thought*

Not sure what to do. I use 50mg of P5P because I have nerve issues in feet. I do use a lot of the foods you mentioned so maybe its not necessary to take a 50mg supplement. Possibly a Blood test for B6 will tell me if I'm to high but its still a big decision.
P5P doesn't always cause problems like pyridoxine HCL can. They are not the same.
For clarification, P5P isn’t toxic rather only synthetic b6
Is it safe to take high doses? 100mg - 600mg/day?
@@DaddyC-t5rwhy would someone take this much?
Can you please explain more as to why glucocorticoids can create B6 toxicity please?
Thank you sir, great video
Both my mum and I have b6 overload and we don’t supplement and only eat whole foods 🥺 I’m not sure what else to do? Her level is 700 and mine is 200
the doctors are scratching their heads not knowing how to treat this!
do you think the high levels could actually be a deficiency??
I would look to liver health to help clear it. Reducing processed carbs and eliminating alcohol, and adding tudca and bile stimulating foods can be helpful.
I too am toxic from food diet alone.
Could you share more on your diet?
There are genetic conditions that can cause high B6
don't know what to suggest, sometimes bread and milk/dairy are fortified with B6, might affect some drinks also
I had low folate levels 2.3, doctor gave me 5mg folic acid every day for 4months and now my levels are too high…35.5ul feeling nauseous everyday…now I have the answer they are now in the bin..thankyou
You're welcome, thank you for watching.
My B6 is very high, but I'm not taking supplements. I have horrible nerve pain, muscle twitching, etc. Any thoughts? thanks
Me too, I got it from eating sweet potatoes 3 times a day, my thumb kept twitching and I couldn't feel my legs while walking, it's better now I'm on the No B6 diet, eat these foods:
Egg whites (not yolks)
Apples/pears or apple juice/pear juice
White rice
White bread
White pasta
Lamb (Lamb has some B6 but it's very very low compared to beef, I've seen a nutrient comparison, you won't get much B6 from lamb)
And drink lots of water every day, B6 is water soluble, it comes out in the urine, drink like 8 glasses of water every morning.
My muscle twitching and leg numbness improved a lot in 1 day
@@User-pz4re Thank you. Was wondering if you had any neck pain? And also congestion? My ears are always clogged with tons of pressure. Thanks.
@@User-pz4re thanks for the info..my B6 is a bit high and I'm experiencing the foot burning and leg tingling as well. I will try your suggestions.
@@rootedrotor525 I am currently going through this symptoms and zaps in my spine. Going to see the doctor. Do you feel better now? This is a nightmare
@@User-pz4reHello. Any update on your condition?
ive been drinking energy drinks for decades. ive had all the crazy symptoms. for example, redbull has 300% rda in one small can. other drinks have tixic vitamin A.
Can't hear u
What is the normal dosage of B6?
I have been having numbness and tingling in my hands, also neck pain. I've been trying to figure out what the source of the problem is. I'm now thinking that it could be the b6 in the energy drinks I consume. Going to stop drinking energy drinks and see if that makes a difference
You may consider testing B6 levels.
I take 50mg P-5-P three times a day to treat my trigger thumb. 150 mg a day will solve trigger thumb and or trigger finger. This works for me.
Valid information but so hard to listen with this annoying music
So true. Why do they do that?!
So, too much b6 can cause burning sensation in feet?
Yes it definitely can.
Yes
Hello. How are you now?
I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me then I quit taking neuriva plus and started feeling better. I'm sure it was the b6 in it that was making me sick
Glad to hear that you are doing better.
@@DrChristianson Thanks I definitely think it was the b6 because I've felt much better since quitting it. I now occasionally take things with B6 in them because it helps regulate my weight but it's a much smaller dose and I don't take it daily like i was with the Neuriva plus.
Hello. What were your symptoms and how long did it take you to feel better?
@@Siegeclan34 anxiety, insomnia, burning feeling and weakness in legs, lightheartedness and felt heavy. Lasted couple weeks after I quit.
@loboneiner1034 Thank you for your reply and I'm glad you are better. I'm surprised the 1.7mg in Neuriva Plus was toxic and good thing that you stopped when you did. I took 25mg Vit B6 for 4 days and started getting symptoms. I stopped taking that supplement 2 days ago, hopefully I recover as fast as you but my dosage was a lot higher so maybe not.
Good info thanks so much.
I’m taking 5 mg of b5p in my magnesium supplement
An my b complex has 10 mg of b complex which I stopped taking..
But I guess 5 my daily would be do rare to cause a problem
Hi doctor hoping you can help me. I was taking 25mg pyridoxine. Then i started taking 30 mg pyrodixal 5 phosphate because it was in my vitamin D supplement. Can I still take 30mg P5P in my vit d supplement while detoxing from my unnecessary pyridoxine or do i have to discontinue p5p. Thank you my hopes is in you answering this on here will help someone else in this same situation.
If you're b6 toxic confirmed by a blood test, then you should avoid any excess supplementation including avoiding foods high in b6.
Did he day that 20mg or 24mg of vitamin B6 a day is toxic?
My vitB6 is 38.5. normal range is til 21.5. I am not suplementing it. I experince gait/balance issue and nausea. Usualky it cones togeter. Can Vit6 be a responible for it? Why do i have to hight VitB6 without suplementing?
Always check with your doctor on your health issues. Thank you for watching!
Some people can get vitamin b6 toxicity from a diet too high in it. Very easy to do on high protein diets like carnivore and keto.
My prolactin is high. Vs taking bromocriptin I was told B6 mega dose can Increase dopamine and then lower prolactin

Great video! Would you say 20mg of P5P is too much to cause damage?
1mg of P5P per day might be a somewhat reasonable boost if you are getting 1mg a day from food. Also, provided you are getting co-factors like riboflavin, magnesium, zinc, etc.
I now take 25mg p5p capsule 2 or 3 times a week... Be careful not to take too much...
How do I get rid of excess b6? I have suffered from high b6 and low b12 for over a decade and after covid things got worse and I developed severe neuropathy in my feet, my doctor insisted that I take a formula that continues to be injectable b1, b12 and b6 but everything got even worse, Now I'm just injecting b12 separately (3 months) and I felt a slight improvement in my feet, but my b6 is still high and the adverse effects such as absurd insomnia and anxiety, excessive urination and body aches remain. Is there any medication or supplement that reduces it? Maybe riboflavin?
Did you try riboflavin?
@@nameofthegame9664 yes
@@bvim75 any improvements?
@@nameofthegame9664 Descobri que o problema na verdade era intolerância a histamina e MCAS que desenvolvi depois de usar NAC com benfotiamina, descobri da pior maneira que os sintomas se agravavam com varias substancias dentre elas a vitamina b6, hoje sou sensível a vários suplementos que antes eu podia tomar normalmente.
Após tratar minha deficiência em b12 meus níveis de b6 retornaram ao normal porém a neuropatia, câimbras, dores e insônia só diminuíram(mas não sumiram) a medida que fui controlando o metabolismo da histamina com antialérgicos, 2mg de cobre e suplementos de enzima DAO.
So good thanks doctor. I like how you said 100mg is too much. Not many willsay how much is dangerous. So thankful. I feel sick after taking b6 i got fatty liver too. I use to take 100mg and then cut down to 50mg. I am gonna stop it from today. Its not gonna help me at all. Igot heart burn too.
Will B6 Pyridoxal 5 P 5 active version still cause toxicity ? ...... How do you know if the same symptoms are from an overdose or a B6 5 P 5 deficiency ?
I'm not a doctor or nutritionist but every video I've seen on using the active version 5P5 causes no issues at all.
@@brianpulley8652 That is what people say but sufferers are coming forward and revealing they've become toxic from P5P alone. Quite a few in the Facebook support group.
has anyone had high cholesterol or elevated liver enzymes that are causing you not to heal
Thank you!
Fascinating. Thanks for this information.
sage advice
Thanks for watching!
1.5 mg of HCL can be toxic ???
has anyone ever heard of having high cholesterol or liver disease delay healing

Phew I use P5P not the toxic one
Hydrocortisone can cause b6 toxicity? I read it depletes b6. How does hydrocortisone cause b6 toxicity? I understand how b6 toxicity causes a functional deficiency
I was taking a b complex for just over a week that had high level of b6 in it (25 mg) , I developed tingling and burning in my feet after just over a week and slight numbness in my face started almost immediatly , luckily I had read about tingling with high levels b6 so I discontinued use immediately. I had blood work to rule out anything els but unfortunately the b6 portion of the blood test never showed up. However a week and a half after discontinuing use my symptoms are almost fully gone so I think its safe to say I had too much b6 going on.
*edit to mention I actually did get the blood test results back and my b6 was infect elevated like I thought*
Was the B6 in the form of P5P?
@@davidbrachetto1420 there was p5p in it yes, people can even become toxic from eating a high b6 diet some people are just more sensitive to all forms of b6
So only one week can cause such toxicity. How long it took you for symptoms to get better ?
@@onaraider2007 it took about a year to fully recover. What really fixed it for me was I started fasting for 24 hours two days a week for a few months. Now I can eat whatever I want without flare ups. It was a truly horrible experience dealing with b6 toxicity I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Im one of the lucky ones that caught onto what was causing my symptoms early so I recovered pretty quickly. Some people take years to recover.
