Vitamin B6 is an essential nutrient
Vitamin B6 is found naturally in many delicious foods that we all consume every day. Pictured here are just a handful of those, there are many more.
In fact, I would say most people eat well over the recommended daily allowance of 1.3 mg daily.
We don't need to supplement vitamin B6 as a general rule. If you are deficient, there's something else going on either metabolically or genetically that is causing some problems for you. Finding a good functional medicine doctor to figure it out with you could help. Many people that are deficient then become toxic because they start supplementing. It's a vicious cycle.
I asked Grok AI why B6 was added to so many foods and you know what it told me? Marketing! Anything that has added vitamins and can be put on the packaging makes it "sound" healthier!
Don't be fooled. Start reading your labels. Is the supplement industry one scam?
For folks that are B6 toxic, some people don't change their diet at all and feel okay eating even the higher B6 Foods. Other people react very negatively and have to cut some of these out. There's no way to know who will be affected this way so if you are toxic, you may just need to experiment a little bit and pay attention to how you're feeling when you're eating higher B6 foods.
