Questions about this ingredient

  • QIs it okay to take Vitamin B6 for a long time? I am taking two supplements together.

    Generally, the amounts found in dietary supplements are not a major concern, but long-term high doses have been reported to cause neurological issues like numbness in the hands and feet. If you are taking multiple supplements, please check the ingredient list to ensure that Vitamin B6 is not duplicated.
