If you’ve seen recent headlines about vitamin B6 toxicity, you might be feeling a little uneasy, especially if you take supplements. It’s understandable. Health news spreads fast, and without all the facts, it can cause unnecessary worry.

So let’s take a calm, science-based look at vitamin B6, what toxicity really means, and why the dose in Adapt is well within the safe zone.

What is Vitamin B6 and Why Do We Need It?

Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in:

• Supporting the nervous system and brain health

• Helping the body produce neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine

• Assisting in protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism

• Supporting healthy immune function

It’s found naturally in foods like poultry, fish, bananas, potatoes, and fortified cereals and it’s also included in many supplements for its role in energy production and stress resilience.

What Causes Vitamin B6 Toxicity?

Like many nutrients, vitamin B6 is safe and beneficial in the right amounts, but problems can occur if you take too much for too long.

Toxicity is typically associated with:

• High doses of over 100mg per day

• Long-term use of these high doses (often months to years)

In these cases, the most common side effect is nerve-related symptoms, such as tingling or numbness in the hands and feet (known as peripheral neuropathy). These symptoms are generally reversible once intake is reduced.

But What About Lower Doses?

Occasionally, cases have been reported at doses under 50mg daily, but these are rare and usually involve other contributing factors. At doses under 10mg daily, toxicity is considered exceptionally rare.

Where Does Adapt Fit In?

Each serve of Adapt contains just 1.3mg of vitamin B6.
That’s:

• Over 75 times lower than the threshold linked to toxicity

• Less than you’d find in many common multivitamins

• Equivalent to the amount in a medium-sized banana

Adapt is listed with the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) and complies with all their regulations and safety guidelines. Every ingredient and every dose has been carefully chosen for both effectiveness and safety.

Your Health, Your Peace of Mind

When it comes to supplements, dosage matters. More isn’t always better, what matters is the right nutrient, in the right amount, for the right purpose.

With Adapt, you can feel confident knowing you’re getting a clinically considered dose of vitamin B6 that supports your health without coming anywhere near unsafe levels.

If you ever have questions about your individual needs, it’s always a good idea to speak with your healthcare professional.

Bottom line: Vitamin B6 is essential, but toxicity requires much higher doses than what you’ll find in Adapt. We’ve formulated this product with your wellbeing—and safety—as our top priority.
