Vitamin B6 Toxicity is an increasing problem due to the usage of OTC supplements. It is a cause of nervous system complications like peripheral neuropathy, among many other alarming symptoms.
Unfortunately, Vitamin B6 toxicity is not well known in the medical community and is often missed on routine labs by many doctors and health care professionals. Many are still under the impression that high B6 values in blood serum tests are not damaging and will simply be excreted. This is because they were educated on the basis of B6 being a water-soluble vitamin and therefore, harmless. Vitamin B6 is one of the only B-complex vitamins can cause cause very serious and irreversible harm.
Many doctors are still misinformed of the unfortunate effects of Vitamin B6 supplementation and routinely prescribe B-complex vitamins to their patients thinking it is beneficial to their health and under the impression that it can only help, not hurt. Vitamin B6 is often prescribed for Pain Management, PMS, Carpal Tunnel, Neuropathy, Stress, and as an adjunct to chemotherapy and many other common ailments and disease processes. These doctors and health professionals are making a grave mistake with many patients and causing more health problems than they already have.
Most doctors are not even aware that Vitamin B6 can be toxic and when their patients present with nervous system complications and other signs and symptoms of its toxicity, they are misdiagnosed as having another ailment, or worse, told to take Vitamin B6 itself to treat it.
