Toxic vitamins

[RLSSCARER]

Vitamins can be toxic, many manufacturers are using high doses, to get vitamins a bad name, the recommended dose for vitamin B6 from a trusted source is 30 to 50 mg, many of the B6 vitamins on the market are 100mg and that can be toxic, also be careful of complex b vitamins, some will have 100gm of B6

When buying vitamins do some research and make sure you aren't getting a toxic dose, because many of the products available are over the safe limits and can become toxic.

I bought Vitamin B15 500mg the recommended dose from a trusted source says 150 mg, daily, although my scars are healing faster than before, so it does speed up the healing process it may become toxic after a couple of weeks, so i will be reducing the amount by separating the capsules.

I noticed on ebay that Germany is selling the correct daily dose of 150 mg of B15

So be careful what you choose there's many deceitful organisations trying to make you sick, including vitamin companies.

Thanks for your advice.

It's always important to check the actual amounts of vitamins in any product, since they may be well above the recommended daily allowance.

But some mega doses are ok such as vit C.

But everyone should do their own research.

Vitamin c citric acid, or absorbic acid, E300 this E300 imanufactured with GMO mold, i wouldn't recommend it,

I agree with you about Vitamin B15 but the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (US) says 100 mg of vitamin B6 is safe. What is your source?

[RLSSCARER in reply to SueJohnson]

,Taking to much vitamin B6 from supplements can cause, A lack of muscle control or coordination of voluntary movements (ataxia)

I wouldn't be trusting the board,

I know how difficult it is to manage RLS, other vitamins such as vitamin A can also be toxic in large amounts.

Mildred carters body Reflexology, gives advice on nutrition health, i have trusted and used nearly all the healing techniques for decades.

Recently my friend said be careful with vitamin B6

So i type into Google different questions and i could find information that said it can be toxic at less than 50mg

There's old studies, recent studies and new studies, which one do we trust.

[RLSSCARER in reply to SueJohnson]

Heres some information that confirms that more than 50gm can cause toxicity and can also occur at much smaller doses

I've checked out that link.

Very interesting. Even the top neurologists were flummoxed!

I attach the relevant conclusions.

[RLSSCARER in reply to Madlegs1]

Also drinking demineralised water occasionally or when necessary can pull toxins out of the body, this may help to reduce the toxic effects

[RLSSCARER in reply to Madlegs1]

Flumoxed, your words are good, I've never seen that word before. Back in the 1970s the recommended dose of b6 was 2mg, the information i have says its far to low and needs to be 30 to 50 mg, i just thought it would share this knowledge about the recommended dose because toxicity is a big problem for RSL

When we know better we can do better and help others to.

The eat right 4 your type

Is a diet i recommended.

The app cost a few dollars, but its a once of payment.

Its over 40 years of science and a useful tool to avoid toxic foods, easy to use and follow. Add the healthy foods to your shopping cart and avoid the harmful foods for your blood

Also there's 9 foods you should never reheat or recook. Most people don't know what they are and many ready made meals that are made to reheat contain these foods, searching YouTube 7 foods you should never reheat and you will find them.

This could be very useful and important for someone who is suffering illness or RLS to be aware of.

As far as I can remember, the Blood Type diet was debunked quite a while ago.

But I could be wrong. I'll have a decko and see.

[Madlegs1 in reply to Madlegs1]

Ok-- I've done a quick search on Cochrane and they can find no supporting research that proves the Blood Type diet.

I'm O - and none of the diet seems to apply to my situation.

Although ,I see no harm in much of the dietary recommendations.

As always, be sensible, and if one has dietary issues, do keep a food record/ diary.

Haven't I heard that somewhere before? 😅🙄😍😝☘️💚😎

[RLSSCARER in reply to Madlegs1]

Trust the words of a honest person, more than all the knowledge and debunking.

[Madlegs1 in reply to RLSSCARER]

Problem is - how do you know who is honest.All politicians are honest. Because they tell us so!🙃

[SueJohnson in reply to Madlegs1]

My laugh for the day 🤣🤣🤣

[Sunshine1932]

Can I ask. What is vitamin B15 ad i heard about it only last week but unsure what it is.

[Eryl]

One thing to note is that the RDAs may not be the optimum dose The RDAs were set to avoid the common diseases of the time e.g. the RDAs for vitamin d3 was set as the minimum to avoid getting rickets but since then it has been realised that vitamin D3 levels have huge effects on the immune system and since the body can get huge ammounts of vit D3 from sun exposure it'ssafe to take hugedoses of supplements in winter when light levels are low.

The ammounts of other vitamins which people get from their diet also varies widely acording to the foods they eat and since people can live off a pure carnivore diet and since the best sources of B vitamins are various types of meat I would imagine that a vegetarian or vegan diet or a diet high in graing and veg which contain anti nutrients can take higher doses than carnivores but I haven't researched any studies

[Madlegs1 in reply to Eryl]

Makes sense.

I read about an old fossil hominid that had huge bones. They reckoned it was an alpha male that always got first dibs on the liver of any kill. That would result in a mighty overdose of some vitamin which would eventually have killed him.

[Eryl in reply to Madlegs1]

The fact that the liver is one of the most saught ater organs of any kill indicates that it is beneficial to health. When the Massai make a kill the first thing they do is to extract and share out the liver and if it was toxic that tradition would never have evolved.

[Madlegs1 in reply to Eryl]

That's the point of my comment. It probably was NOT shared out.

Like any kill in the wild ,the dominant animal gets the best bits.🍖

[Eryl]

This suggests that most people should only have problems if they take large doses like 500mg for long periods and most peope would tolerate this dose for short periods or 150 mg for long periods. youtu.be/uSHMG8zVZVo?si=fmF...(Not working as expected?)

[Summer194]

Thank you for exposing this.

You have to be vey careful with B6. Too much can cause a lack of muscle control, numbness in the hands and feet, etc, (Mayo Clinic post). I take 25 mg every other day. Taking a little more would probably not hurt, but i am good with this dose. Something else you have to be careful with is zinc, at least in my experience. I have taken many supplements for many years, always thinking more is better. But there was a period years ago when was getting sick all the time. Long story short, I was taking at least 50mg of zinc a day. Way too much, and it was knocking down my immune system. I cut down to 10mg every other day, which was enough with the zinc I was getting from food, and stopped getting sick. They tend to put zinc, and rather large amounts, in just about everything, so see what your intake is adding up to. If you eat red meat, chicken, whole grain, and a lot of other common foods, there is plenty of zinc in those.
