In reply to Nardil Users/Experts, what to do for B6 deficiency, posted by gilmourr on November 29, 2012, at 21:39:37
Try frequent dosing throughout the day. Take the amount that you think you need for the day, but spread it out in multiple doses. Take it with food toward the end of the meal. The kind of B6 also makes a difference. A 5:1 mix of the regular form and the bioactive form covers a lot more bases than either alone. Pyridoxine and Pyridoxal-5'-Phosphate. Sometimes in disease our bodies don't convert or metabolize our B6 correctly. The P5P B6 helps to bypass that by giving the active form of B6.
If small frequent doses with food still give you nausea problems, next step would be to take it with ginger root tea or capsules. Ginger is rapidly helpful for nausea.
100mg by the way is huge. I'm not sure you need that high of a dose, especially if you add P5P to it. That should make it possible to lower the dose for less nausea but with good effect. I think disease states require higher than normal doses, maybe sometimes megadoses, but I think it makes sense to try to stay at the lowest dose possible to retain some effect yet be tolerable at the same time.
