Vitamins - B6 - Optimal Absorption

If supplementing, therapeutic doses range from 50 to 100mg daily. Do not take 100mg at one time as your body may not be able to fully absorb it. Take divided doses, instead.

B₆ is also available as part of a multi B-Complex.

Substances or processes that may destroy or limit B₆ absorption include alcohol, canning or freezing of fruit and vegetables, estrogens, food processing methods, and long-term storage of B₆-containing foods.

The following is a list of United States 1997-1998 Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI): Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for nutritional vitamin B₆ intake and are included as a guideline only. Consult with your nutritionist, naturopath, or other health practitioner for a dosage appropriate for your needs. Children under 6 years of age should be under the supervision of the above mentioned specialists if directly supplementing with vitamin B₆.
