Reports like this remain rare.... one has to wonder if these 2 patients had some sort of genetic sensitivity to B6? Or poor kidney functions.

One doesn't really need mega doses of B6 anyway.

Also... pyridoxine is not the active form either. Pyridoxal 5 phosphate is the active form. This form is typically not found in vitamin complexes... it has only been very recently added to some new formulas in the past couple of years. Some people may just not be activating the B6 and it is accumulating in the body as a result.

I have yet to see these anecdotal reports give serum levels for the B6.

But thanks for the reminder with this link. Everyone IS different and has different chemistries.
