Quality Choice Vitamin B6 100mg 100 Tablets (Pack of 3)

What is Vitamin B6?

Maintaining adequate levels of vitamin B6 is essential for your overall wellbeing. Pyridoxine, as it is also known, is a water-soluble B vitamin that your body relies on for numerous vital processes, including breaking down proteins and forming neurotransmitters. Because it cannot be stored in large amounts, regular intake through diet or supplementation is important. Our Quality Choice supplement provides 100 mg of vitamin B6 per tablet, making it a convenient way to support your nutritional needs, particularly if your diet is lacking or you have higher requirements. The vitamin is naturally present in foods like poultry, fish, bananas, and potatoes, but supplementation can help ensure adequate intake.

Recommended Dosage

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for vitamin B6 in the UK is 1.4 mg for adult men and 1.2 mg for adult women, with slightly higher amounts needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, this supplement provides 100 mg per tablet, which is considerably above the RDA. Such high doses should only be taken under the guidance of a health care professional. The usual suggestion is to take one tablet daily with food to aid absorption. Do not exceed the stated dose. If you are currently taking any medication or have a medical condition, consult your doctor before uses.

Potential Side Effects and Safety

Vitamin B6 is generally well tolerated, but high doses taken over a long period (typically above 10 mg per day) can lead to peripheral neuropathy, which may cause numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. Because this product contains 100 mg per tablet, it is important not to exceed the recommended intake and to seek medical advice before starting supplementation. Vitamin B6 can interact with certain medications, including levodopa and some antibiotics. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a pre-existing condition, consult a health care professional. Always read the label and follow directions for uses.
