Most multivitamins have B6, or you can take it separately. Tell your doctor If you’re on any meds or taking other supplements. And go easy on it. Taking too much B6 might damage your nerves or give you sores, heartburn, or nausea. The safe daily limit for adults is less than 100 milligrams.</p> </div> <div class="touch-instructions"> <i class="left-arw arw"> </i>Swipe to advance<i class="right-arw arw"></i></div> </div> <div class="slide redirect"> <div class="image"> <div class="mask"> <div class="next-art"> <h3>Up Next</h3> <h2>Next Slideshow Title</h2> <div class="loader-content"> <div class="loader-circle"> </div> <div class="loader-line-mask"> <div class="loader-line"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <img src="data:image/png;base64,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"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="controls primary"> <a class="prev" href="#prev"> <i xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions" xmlns:xdt="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-datatypes"> </i> </a> <a class="next" href="#next"> <i xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions" xmlns:xdt="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-datatypes"> </i> <span class="label" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions" xmlns:xdt="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-datatypes">Skip Ad</span> </a> </div> <div class="slideshow-btm-cont"> <div class="bottom-ad-override"> </div> </div> <div class="controls-secondary-cont"> <div class="controls secondary"> <a class="prev" href="#prev"> <i xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions" xmlns:xdt="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-datatypes"> </i> </a> <div class="slide-count"> <span class="current">1</span> <span class="seperator">/</span> <span class="total">15</span> </div> <a class="next" href="#next"> <span class="label" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions" xmlns:xdt="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-datatypes">Skip Ad</span> <i xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions" xmlns:xdt="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-datatypes"> </i> </a> </div> </div> </div> <img id="ss-load" style="margin: 2rem auto;
