The Vitamin Shoppe Vitamin B6 100 mg
Brand: The Vitamin Shoppe · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Vitamin B6 at 100 mg is a high-dose supplement. The data confirms that the RDA for adults is 1.3 mg daily, and 100 mg is well above this level. This dose is typically used under medical supervision for specific conditions. Data on the exact benefits of this specific product is not available [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of Vitamin B6 as a key metabolic worker — it helps your body convert food into energy, supports neurotransmitter formation, and is critical for red blood cell metabolism [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Safety data for this specific product is not available. However, long-term use of high-dose Vitamin B6 (over 100 mg daily) is associated with serious side effects. The data from the FDA includes 38 adverse event reports for Vitamin B6 products. Side effects include sensory neuropathy (nerve damage) at high doses [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We do not recommend starting a 100 mg dose of Vitamin B6 without consulting your doctor. The safe upper limit for adults is 100 mg daily, and long-term use at this level can cause nerve damage. A standard multivitamin typically provides a safe dose. Choose a lower dose (under 50 mg) unless directed by a physician [NIH ODS].
