Lightbulb a related issue...

Big Pharma is now attempting to take certain supplements off the market so they can make the same thing and create an RX market for them...

Latest in this is the Medicure company petitioning the FDA to make P-5-P RX only.... so they can have it all to themselves.
P-5-P is activated B6, which works better for some people than the inactive typical pyridoxine that is found in common vitamin tablets. Many people cannot convert pyridoxine to P-5-P because pyridoxal kinase in the liver is suppressed genetically or by some drugs (theophylline is one example).

You can read about it here:

Many of us have sent answers to the petition already. I hope it is not too late.
