I have b6 toxicity it is over double what it should be i do not take supplements. what can be done to help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High levels may not:: B6 is known to be toxic when taken in doses of 200 mg/day or more for months. By definition 2.5% of people have high serum levels but high levels aren't necessarily toxic & seldom associated with symptoms unless you've taken high doses. Sometimes high levels may be a sign of metabolic imbalances but treatments to lower B6 levels are generally not necessary (& no clear way to lower it).See comment:
