Vitamin B6 vs B6 as P5P

I am having problems finding a B complex to take. I am trying to find a supplement that only has 10mg of B6, has no iron included in the mix and no Methylfolate (folic is okay).

I have one which I started to take which has P5P B6 50mg, but have been advised this is too much and should only contain 10mg. I had an iron infusion so don’t want to add to my iron stores.

It’s all a bit of a minefield! 😵‍💫

Hi,

I agree it can be hard to find some supplements with lower amounts.

I often chop tablets into smaller pieces.

Check out Holland and Barratt 50+ A-Z. No huge doses and no iron.

Tbf there are loads of B complexes which have 10mg or less B6. This one has 2mg for example…

I take one without B6 and add my own separately but that does have a small amount of methylfolate in.

This is the one I take. It’s a bit pricey but it works well for me.
