> Why do you believe this?

Because I have worked with health care professionals for 20 years and they do not test for nutritional deficiencies unless you ask/beg them to. This is even more true with psychiatrists. I am advocating right now for a woman with a serum B6 deficiency that her doctor will not address. She has an actual serum B6 deficiency and anemia and depression and her dopctor thinks it is not importnat. That is why.

> It is easy and cheap to do a blood test for deficiencies, I have done that many time and they found I lacked nothing.

There are deficiencies and functional deficiencies. Plus there is serum B6 and RBC B6. Have you had your RBC B6 tested? Nope.

And Homocysteine levels will reveal more than serum B6.

And I do not believe you because you did not answer "how much did you take? And what type? Pyridoxine or Pyridoxal-Phosphate? For how long? Were you tested for a B6 defieicny, high homocysteine?"

The pills says just vitamin B6, 1.4mg, more than a year. For zinc I eat way more than I need since I eat mostly vegetarian and legumes contains plenty of it.

Then reason you are an asshole is that you are asking questions that takes a lot of work to answer since most wont know the answer to them on the spot. That is a very common tactic when you try to push your pet theory on others, but you should know that nobody thinks you won the argument when you do that they will just see you as an asshole. Even if you are doing it to be nice, you will be seen as an asshole, so please stop doing that.

THANK YOU for answering. See, this is what I mean. 1.4mg? That is nothing. The dose that use in testing are 50 to 100mg. And you should be taking P5P.

People I know take 30 - 60mg of P5P to feel the effects.

You were not taking high dose B6, just the RDA, and that will not do anything. And it will not correct a deficiency.

You think it takes a lot of work to answer? What about all the work I do looking into this and asking? For who? For you. Instead of calling me an asshole understand that I am helping you, for free, unlike your doctors.

So you cannot say taking B6 did not work for you.
