In today’s episode, Chris & Filly dig into a controversial topic that has made the news headlines over the past few months: Vitamin B6 toxicity. While it is a serious condition (and unfortunately has negatively affected the lives of some), we want to cut through the fear-mongering headlines about B6 toxicity to give you more balanced, science-backed information you need as someone on a healing journey. By the end of the episode, you'll understand exactly why B6 is crucial for healing, when it becomes problematic, and how to use it safely and effectively.

In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about about:

• B6 toxicity symptoms mirror deficiency symptoms, which can cause confusion around whether there is a toxicity or deficiency. 


• Inactive B6 (pyridoxine) causes most toxicity cases, while active P5P used in most practitioner supplements is safer (and more therapeutic) at lower doses.


• Only 1 in 500,000 people experience B6 toxicity, typically from high-dose inactive forms taken without supervision, and most of the case’s symptoms resolve after stopping the supplement. 


• New proposed TGA regulations around Vit B6 formulas and who can sell/prescribe them - and what the natural medicine industry body thinks. 


• "Test don't guess" - with proper monitoring prevents toxicity and ensures the right form and dose for your needs.
