Lightbulb Hi Lanny....

Why the "low" B6?

My son gets heartburn and upper GI events from B-complex.

I found a timed release super B100 formula at Puritan's Pride.
He has no problems with it.

But it is too strong for me. I use it 3 or 4 times a week instead.

It has a delayed breakdown in the GI tract, and I don't see evidence in the
urine for several hours, then it arrives. With regular B's you can have colored urine in a hour or 2.

This one is "timed released" and lower in B6:

This is a typical B-50: timed release

This is the one I use: timed release

I love the formula for me but the 100mg of B's is too much ..but used with skip days, it works well for me.

I think if you choose a "timed release" product and take with food, you will find it easier to tolerate. My son who always had sensitive tummy issues, has no problem with the timed. I like the timed type because they are absorbed more slowly, hence stay in your system longer.

I use Puritan's alot-- for my basic things. But there are many timed release B's out there now.
If you don't find one at RiteAid--- try WalMart....they have a fabulous supplement section now---it is better than any chain pharmacy I have seen to date!
