While you have to pick up the right type of B6. This can help stop the racing of the mind and help increase concentration. My chiropractor told me about this in the use of test anxiety and eliminating some of the impact so that you can focus on what you need to. This vitamin also gives you a lot energy that usually last all day with out having to boost with any caffeine at all. Product used: ...

I heard this could help relieve water retention and began to take a supplement. However, after 2 weeks of taking this, my stomach began to hurt, after a few days more it was extremely tender to the touch. Everywhere from top of my stomach to the bottom of my abdomen was tender and so incredibly painful that I may nee to seek ER treatment if it persists...I am going to discontinue use and hope it ...

Lab test showed too high B6 and my primary symptom was feet tingling, but no diabetic issues. Turns out my multivitamin had 300% daily RDA B6 and higher levels of it are associated with neuropathy in feet! Doc took me off the multi and will retake test in 3 months.

I actually forget why I started taking this. I had heard it helped with headaches, HBP, hair loss, among other things. It has not helped with my HBP, but it has helped tremendously with headaches. A side benefit was my hair and nails are in better condition. I am B12 deficient, and am now taking all the B vitamins. I was taking B2, which helps with everything, too, but it makes me super nauseous. I was a little nervous about taking B6, B-complex, and Multi-vitamin, but I just added them up, and they are less than 150mg a day. I may take an extra 100mg a day and see if it helps with my HBP after all.Read More Read Less

My oncologist recommended B6, 100mg. daily, for chemo-induced neuropathy in my feet and ankles. After taking this for about 6 wks. I have noticed significant improvement, not so much numbness and no pain. It definitely DOES work..at least for me it did. I will continue taking it.

A chance discovery that it might be effective in overcoming sciatica, which had lasted 14 months and showed no sign of improving. The pain and numbness in my left leg gets less every day after one month of using 25mg a day, (I cut a 50mg tablet in half). The downside appears to be wind and pain in colon (which may be coincidental) but at the moment I am loath to cut back on the B6 intake as after 14 months of barely being able to stand without sweat streaming down my face, life is wonderful again. N.B. I had 2 X-rays on my back which showed only minor disc compression on L1/L2 followed by physiotherapy but the pain continued. Read More Read Less

I developed Fibromyalgia at 29. Nothing helped. I found a book called "B6 A Dr's Report" written in the 70's. I started taking B6 and was out of pain for the first time in 3 years. Over time I have learned that all natural and non-timed release work best. I have taken the Stress B+ from Douglas Labs for over 20 years. During good times I take 1 and when the weather gets screwy, I take 2. My doctors are amazed at how well I am doing and that I rarely take pain medications. Since starting to take B6, I have gone from unable to walk more than a few steps to hiking all day in the mountains. As a side note, when I was discovering B6, my cousin started giving B6 to my uncle for Diabetes Neuralgia. His tolerance for blood sugar changes was very small. He would quickly go into low or high blood sugar states while still having blood sugar in the "normal" range. After starting to take the B6, he started having more "normal" tolerance for blood sugar changes. He was still diabetic but it didn't affect his life as much. He was elderly and passed but his life was much improved.Read More Read Less
