Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 > Urine to my knowledge always turns bright yellow on starting B vits. Andy > Cutler says this is normal and will pass. It did B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is excreted in the urine, causing it to turn orange. Some kids excrete more than just the excess tho, which is why many kids need higher doses. And if you give too-high doses, the body won't be able to process the excess fast enough, leading to toxicity issues. So it is a balance of just how much is needed for absorption without toxic build up. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 how much r u giving? > Just wanted to say thanks for the recent discussion we had about B6. After that I thought I would try increasing it again and guess what? He had the best 10 days at school ever! The teacher couldn't believe it, especially as it's the end of the year when all the kids are scratchy. As well I am doing firm pressure massage strictly twice a day and lithium strictly three times daily and I know they helped, but also know the B6 did as well. Either it was something else making him hyper before or he can tolerate more now... > Thanks > Prue (loving this list) > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 p5p is very sensitive to stomach acid so the actual amount absorbed can vary depending on when you take it, when were you giving it? it does sound like you have it rightish. have you ever tryed the blackmores balanced b? be interesting if it was the p5p form that was being effective. magensium needs to be kept up with high b6 levels. > > Now up to 16.5mg daily (roughly) P5P > Prue > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 I give it right after breakfast but in a gel cap so it dissolves straight away. Other things I give in cellulose cap to delay absorption. Haven't tried the Blackmore's B. I really would like to find something that I can give that has everything at once (think it's a pipedream!) instead of so many tablets. He takes oxichel as a multi remember?

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 actually i just took 3 mg of b6 last night for the first time for quite a while and it seemed to be positive b6 can work with whey i think to improve muscle tone. maybe other b vits like the blackmores balanced b as well(1/8th of a tab or less) but i find that it tends to be to much of an 'upper' to take regularly. i wonder if the cyanocobalamin in it is having this effect. should email them suggesting methylcobalmain i suppose. > >The synthetic > >B6 is often derived from coal tar >(petroleum) which is the same > >problem with artificial colorings >and flavorings. > > I use P5P.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 > I use P5P. Would it be like this too?? Prue, I didn't find anything that specific but will look. A small or typical amount of B6 is needed in a normal amount (as andrew said it helped him)...but the really high amounts start to throw things out of whack if you are sensitive to it. The exception seems to be if you have pyroluria which is a metabolism problem processing B6 and zinc so you need much higher amounts of those just so your body registers a normal amount (right?). .
