Re: Enzymes and Vitamin B6 Question

[Guest guest]

thats a heap. the issue is malabsorbtion, that only a very small

portion of that is being absorbed, once the gut starts to heal with

enzymes then quite a bit less is need. if the gut is healthy he may

only need from .5 to 5 mg.

personally i think 300 mg way to much even for malabsorbtion but

pfeiffer seem not to be on the ball recently.

the pfieffer formulas need a lot of work.

Usually yes, they need less of most supplements, because enzymes allow

better absorption and utilization of the nutrients. 300 mg of B6 is a

LOT of B6! You might discover it causes hyper once you start enzymes.

My daughter developed a lacey rash as well as hyperness from B6 after

enzymes. This is presumably from high absorption (which is a good

thing.) She now tolerates a low dose of vit B's which she gets in

taking a low dose of Brainchild vitamins-we use the graduated formula

which is lower in B's, but I believe they just came out with an even

lower B that we will try when this runs out. My daughter used to also

take a fairly high dose of TMG which she does not use now.
