100 is pretty conservative, but if you want to be extra certain, the P-5-P type is much better. Some people can't convert the cheap old pyridoxine to a usable form so it piles up on them.

Too much or too little B6 can interfere with nerves.

I haven't read the whole thread, so sorry if this is redundant.

The b-6's seemed innocous at first. The combo added up to over 680mg per day. I really don't know how such a lapse occurred other than: a preoccupation w/getting good numbers of other stuff into me and a preoccupation with other medical issues...It was only a fluke that noticed the b-6 added to another supplement in a 80mg quantity [I'd not noticed before...] that got the grey cells working albiet not at optimum speed.
Since then, I've dropped the multi [had waay too much-580mg] and just taking the other essentials B-12, Calcium w/D & magnesium & Omega Oils...

I'm thinking IF I've asorbtion issues [something hard to prove/test] I'll have to go the Vite-By-vite add on as needed route. If I'm not mistaken that's what brought on the whole 'wish there was one simple pill' discussion. I certainly want to do this safely, as we all do, at the same time...I kick myself now [often] at overlooking this aspect I overlooked!

The only sources that look minimally safe rite now are -pre natal vites..that I can add on the specifics as needed. However they are pricey...I'm about to check out Kids vites next. Any Ideas?

Glad you are back, hope where you went was as beautiful as I imagine, and let's get on from here? Don't ever ask where 'here is', as we may find out!

Good thoughts ever and always! - j

I have been taking Shaklee and wonder just how good they really are and the price makes me wonder too? any thoughts on the subject?
I tried the soy protein powder and I think it was making me sick.

Unless it is prescription, I don't believe they can sell over 150 in one capsule or tablet in the United States.

Most multivitamins have A tiny amount of B6, and now one can get B complex containing 20 -50 mg and at least part of that P-5-P. I got my mother on Source Naturals Coenzymate B complex because she needed to keep the B6 extra conservative and the types of the vitamins are good ones.
