The risk01
Can vitamin B6 cause nerve damage?
Vitamin B6 nerve damage happens with long, high intakes, but cases have been reported below 500 mg a day. The picture is numbness in a stocking-glove pattern, plus balance problems (NIH ODS, Vitamin B6).
Symptoms usually improve after stopping and mostly clear within 6 months. A few people do not recover (StatPearls, Vitamin B6 Toxicity).
The limits02
What is the safe upper limit for vitamin B6?
The limit depends on who sets it. The US upper limit is 100 mg a day. Europe's food safety agency set 12 mg a day in 2023 (NIH ODS, Vitamin B6).
Australia requires a warning above 10 mg a day and says risk cannot be excluded below 50 mg (TGA, Vitamin B6 rescheduling).

FAQ05
Vitamin B6 questions
How long does B6 nerve damage take to appear?
Reports describe months of intake before symptoms, though timing varies by dose and person. Symptoms generally improve after stopping, so tell a doctor about every supplement.
Is the P5P form of B6 safer than pyridoxine?
We found no source showing that. Limits are set for total vitamin B6, so P5P counts toward the same totals. SciatiEase lists pyridoxal-5-phosphate.
Do multivitamins add to my B6 total?
Yes. B6 shows up in multivitamins, B-complex pills and some fortified foods, so read each label and add the milligrams before comparing with a limit.
