This post?: For People With Parkinson's Taking Levodopa Medication: The Danger of B6 Deficiency Is Dire and Vastly Outweighs the Danger of B6 Excess healthunlocked.com/cure-par...
Hi , Bolt _Upright, Thank you very much for tracking for me the Post the Danger of B6 Deficiency !!. But I don't understand the following in the post, possible to help me to understand it better to implement. I take a AYURVEDIC NATURAL dopa suppliment by NAME KPIAKACHHU it is INDIAN MUCANA, it has no CARBIDOPA. HOW to go about in the following situation .??
How To Take P5P.
As stated, levodopa medication depletes vitamin B6. The reason for this is that if carbidopa encounters B6, the two will bind together irreversibly, inactivating each. The same goes for benserazide in the case of madopar. So if taken together orally, levodopa medication and B6 will inactivate each other. If possible, P5P should be taken 2 hours apart from levodopa medication. If that is not possible, separate P5P from levodopa with a meal.
How Much B6 To Take
I cannot recommend a specific dosage because it has become apparent that proper dosing of P5P is not a one-size-fits-all affair. Many people, myself included, can tolerate dosages similar to their intake of carbidopa - I personally take a daily dose of 70 mg of P5P, versus a daily intake of carbidopa of about 60 mg. This ensures I will always have an abundant supply of vitamin B6 in my body. I have been doing this for years without any ill effects.
Hi, Bolt_Upright, It is diifficult to follow the Post and implement. I would , post my B6, B2 Levels , will it possibble for you to advise me . Thanks in Advance.
If you want to share your test result, there are undoubtedly members who have their views on this. In order to make a good estimate, the following data is important:
- Test result with stated minimum and maximum reference range
- Whether or not B6 supplementation was taken and duration
- Amount of B6 supplementation in mg (including through B-complex, multivitamin and other combi supplements with magnesium, melatonin, energy drinks and supplements for supporting the nervous system, improving mood, etc.)
- Form of B6 (pyridoxine or P5P)
- PD patient or not
- Daily dosage of C/L in mg or separate Carbidopa dosage for example at mucuna, if applicable
- Date of the test result
- If you experience adverse effects such as peripheral neuropathy or symptoms resembling it.
