Question 1

is it possible to cure a drug addiction (not mine) without the help of a professional. like any vitamins or natural b6 supplements?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: The first of the 12 steps of narcotics anonymous (like aa) is for the addict to admit that he or she is powerless over their addiction, that their lives had become unmanageable.  The addict needs help, he or she cannot do it alone.

Question 2

can i overdose on vitamin b6?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Probably, the risk begins over 300 mg a day, but becomes riskier over 400 mg a day.  The issues involve peripheral nerve and /or spinal cord, with numbness and weakness of arms and legs.  Can be literally irreversible.

Question 3

would it be best to take a b vitamin complex rather than vitamin b6 on its own?

Accepted Answer

Not b-complex!: B-complex is usually a blend of b vitamins, plus vitamin c. I recommend either a b-50 or 100, or the individual b vitamins as needed.

Question 4

at what point can a person overdose on vitamin b6 and what are the effects of this kind of an overdose?

Accepted Answer

Taking lots 4 months: I think of overdose as a single high dose causing harm, in which case taking a large single dose of b6 will not cause harm. However, taking high doses of b6 daily for months (usually at least 1000 mg but in some as low as 200 mg) can cause toxicity symptoms, most commonly peripheral neuropathy (tingling & numbness), also headaches, fatigue & irritability, which will dissipate upon stopping b6.

Question 5

what conditions for is vitamin b6 prescribed ?

Accepted Answer

B6 or pyridoxine: (and related compounds) is a coenzyme which performs many functions facilitating many, mostly protein, reactions. Rich sources include fish, beef liver, potatoes/other starchy vegetables and fruit. Isolated B6 deficiency is uncommon. Some evidence B6 promotes heart health, lowers cancer risk, promotes cognitive function, helps premenstrual syndrome: evidence for all inconclusive. Stay well.

Question 9
