Most B's are water soluble.. but B6 - is not... B6 can reach toxic levels very fast and can cause nerve damage. Permanent nerve damage. if multi and other vitamins / minerals have B6 - that ca add up.

Most docs don't test for B6.

BTW: kirkland calcium citrate has B6... so if you take that and multi and then B complex - be careful you don't overdue.

I'm not taking any other vitamins--my doctor hasn't advised me to; he literally just adviser a B complex.

We have been getting the same warning on B6 toxicity from my doc's program as well, with the specific warning about the Kirkland calcium citrate combined with other sources of B6. They have seen some indications of it from their patient population.

I'll ask my doc about Calcium Citrate, because he hasn't told me to take it or indicate that he's concerned about my CC levels based on my bloodwork.

Is there an amount of B6 to be concerned for?

I just looked at my multi, my B complex and my calcium citrate. My multi has 4mg and my B complex has 50mg, is that approaching the amount of too much?
