iheartcats Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 My B6 Levels are very high - they are double of the highest allowed for normal range. The doctor wanted to know if I took supplements (no) or ate a lot of cereal (no). I asked what it could be and she didn't know at this oint.I'm concerned as what I found online said high levels of B6 could cause neurological damage. This is the only vitamin that's 'off the charts' for me, so to speak. In the last 6-months everything else is in range. But B6 is over the top. I'm really worried about kidney function now, but I'm trying to not freak out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue1234 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I don't really know what causes a high B6, but I know when I take it as a supplement, I get hyped and can't sleep. I know B6 is depleted when someone takes birth control pills, as I think it has something to do with clearing estrogen from the body. I know when I was first pregnant with my last child(1992), I had awful morning sickness, so the doctors gave me some anti-nausea meds. My husband and I had to go to Europe on a trip that was planned way before I got pregnant and I was miserable. The "host" of the trip took me to a German ob-gyn, and she prescribed some pills to take and they instantly took my nausea away. I found out the writing on the box said "vitamin B6" in German. Now how come my American doctors didn't know this??!!?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartcats Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 The only thing I have figured out is my G2 bottle contains 50% of my daily Vitamin B6 and I average 2-3 bottles a day (so 100-150%).Could this be enough, on top of wherever else B6 is found in foods, to push mine that high? To be safe, should I look for another drink with less B6?I have too much B6 circulating, rather than not enough, and didn't know estrogen loss could deplete it. I don't think my estrogen is elevated, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
