Sunmark Vitamin B6 100 mg
Brand: Sunmark · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that while this product is labeled as Sunmark Vitamin B6 100 mg, the ingredient data provided is for Calcium. Our assessment is that the available data on calcium does not support a recommendation for this specific B6 product. For the ingredient calcium, the data indicates it supports bone density and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, we cannot confirm the benefits of the actual product as labeled.
How it works
Based on the data for calcium, the ingredient functions through bone mineralization, helping to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, aiding in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. You should note that this mechanism information applies to calcium, not vitamin B6, as no B6-specific data was provided.
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements in this dataset [FDA data]. For the calcium ingredient, safety concerns include that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Also, calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data on side effects specific to vitamin B6 is not available.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to proceed with caution. Since the data provided is for calcium rather than vitamin B6, we cannot confirm the efficacy or safety of this specific 100 mg vitamin B6 product. You should consult your healthcare provider before taking this supplement, as the side effects and interactions listed here are for calcium and may not apply. Data not available for the intended B6 ingredient, so do not use this information to guide your use of this product.
