Overview
•Vitamin B6: 50 mg a day is above the 12 mg/day EU upper limit (EFSA 2023), though within the US limit of 100 mg/day. Taking more than this for months is linked to nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy: numbness, tingling or pain in hands and feet), which usually improves after stopping.
•Ferrochel ferrous bisglycinate chelate is generally well tolerated and significantly less prone to causing constipation or nausea than conventional iron salts.
•Taking this supplement alongside a multivitamin containing iron during pregnancy may cause excessive cumulative iron intake, increasing the likelihood of nausea or vomiting.
•Adult serving directions specify one to two capsules daily with food; accidental iron overdose is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children, so keep tightly secured.
•Space intake by at least two hours away from medications such as thyroid hormone replacements, bisphosphonates, and certain antibiotics like tetracyclines or quinolones.
•Contains 400 mcg to 800 mcg of active L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate daily; consult a healthcare professional before adding other folic acid supplements.
