The B50 tablet has a variety of B vitamins in it; including 50 mgs. of B6 in it. It has improved my energy level and folks were so impressed by this...they went out and bought some B50 for themselves!

Dream Recall
I have heard that the B vitamins, perhaps B6 in particular, influence dream recall. I once experiment with taking a B75 and it did seem that I had more dream recall. However, I cut back down to the B50 again because I was concerned about taking too much of the B6. Does anyone know if the B vitamins influence dream recall? What is this all about?

Thank you.
Yes, B6 influences dream recall. One sign of pyroluria, which creates a deficiency of B6 and zinc, is inability to recall dreams.

B6 is needed to make serotonin, which then is used to make melatonin.
MethylB12 is used in this conversion to melatonin. Melatonin is the natural sleep hormone, and necessary for all the sleep stages to work properly.
REM is one sleep stage.

This site has some other ideas too.
