Our assessment
The evidence shows that Biovea Vitamin B6 100 mg is a high-dose supplement. For this specific product, data on benefits and specific side effects is not available. We will review the ingredient, calcium, which is listed in the data provided. Our assessment is that calcium is a critical mineral for bone health, but taking it without understanding your total dietary intake can pose risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and structure. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in the blood can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. You should be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you do not start this supplement without first consulting your healthcare provider. Because data for Biovea Vitamin B6 100 mg is not available, and the active ingredient in the data is calcium, you need a professional assessment of your current calcium intake from food and other supplements. If your provider approves, be sure to take calcium separately from the medications listed above to avoid interactions [NIH ODS].
