Worried About Taking Vitamin B6?
Some people have asked about the vitamin B6 they are taking as a result of using the Nerve Support Formula. This question is one that people ask about any B6 in any formula.
The Linus Pauling Institute found that adverse effects have only been documented from vitamin B6 supplements and never from food sources.
Therefore, safety concerning only the supplemental form of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, also called pyridoxine hydrochloride) is discussed here.
Although vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin and is excreted in the urine, long-term supplementation with very high doses of pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) may result in painful neurological symptoms known as sensory neuropathy.
Symptoms include pain and numbness of the extremities and in severe cases, difficulty walking. Sensory neuropathy typically develops at doses of pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) in excess of 1,000 mg a day.
However, there have been a few case reports of individuals who developed sensory neuropathies at doses of less than 500 mg of Vitamin B6 daily over a period of months.
None of the studies in which a neurological examination was performed reported evidence of sensory nerve damage at intakes below 200 mg of pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) daily.
To prevent sensory neuropathy in virtually all individuals, the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine set the tolerable upper intake level for pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) at 100 mg/day for adults.
Please let me know if this answers any questions you might have had on this subject.
Sensory Neuropathy – Sensory Nerves Damaged
There are three types of nerves – sensory nerves, motor nerves and autonomic nerves.
Nerves carry information to and from the brain. It is the communication system of the body. The brain sends out commands to the body via the nervous system. The brain gets information from the body via the nervous system.
Every nerve in your peripheral system has a specific function, so the symptoms will depend on the type of nerves affected.
Nerves are classified into:
Sensory nerves that receive sensation, such as temperature, pain, vibration or touch, from the skin
Motor nerves that control muscle movement
Autonomic nerves that control functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, digestion and bladder

What does it mean when your blood test shows High B12 Levels?
I’ve talked to many people who are told by their medical doctor that they found high levels of B12 in their blood test. They are thus reluctant to take a any B vitamin formula designed to help build healthy nerves as it has B12 in it. But, what does this actually mean?
What other symptoms do you have?
What if it is a B12 Deficiency? How is that possible?

Opioid Use and Abuse – The Opioid Epidemic
Opioids are drugs that were created to work on the nervous system to relieve pain. They were designed for short term use. Continued use of only a few weeks can lead to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms when trying to stop.
In the late 1990s, the pharmaceutical companies who created these drugs reassured the medical community that patients would not become addicted to prescription opioid pain relievers, and the medical doctors began to prescribe them at greater rates.
This assurance led to widespread use and misuse of these medications. It has now become clear that these medications could indeed be highly addictive.
