Recommended dosage and how to take it

It is recommended to take one tablet daily, preferably with a meal to facilitate absorption. Do not exceed the indicated dose. As with any supplement, it is important to consult a healthcare professional before starting use, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications.

Possible side effects and contraindications

Vitamin B6 is generally safe at recommended doses. However, very high doses (above 200 mg per day for long periods) can cause peripheral neuropathy, with symptoms such as tingling or numbness. Therefore, it is not recommended to exceed 100 mg daily without medical supervision. If you experience any adverse effects, discontinue use and consult a doctor.
