💊 Many people with Parkinson's Disease turn to vitamin and supplement regimens to support their health—but could some of these be doing more harm than good? In this episode, we uncover the lesser-known risks of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) toxicity, particularly in those taking high-dose B-complex supplements or energy drinks. While B6 is essential for nerve and brain function, too much—especially in supplement form—can lead to neuropathy symptoms that may mimic or worsen Parkinson's-related issues like numbness, balance problems, and fatigue.

We'll also explore:

-What B6 toxicity looks like and how it's diagnosed

-The role of the MTHFR gene mutation and why it may make some individuals more sensitive to B6

-How to recognize signs of over-supplementation, even at doses below the so-called "safe" upper limit

-Safer alternatives and how to approach supplementation with confidence If you or a loved one with Parkinson's is using supplements as part of your wellness routine, this episode offers crucial insight to help you make informed choices.
