Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I used these vitamins for 2 years. When I first began taking them, I only took 1-2 capsules instead of the full 3 recommended, and they did help me feel better and not get sick as often which is why I gave them 2 stars. I liked that they had the correct form of B12 and other ingredients seemed to be top notch. However, I upped to the recommended 3 capsules for a couple of months to get through the winter and to help with fatigue I was experiencing. I thought I was doing a good thing to support my health. However, I began experiencing burning, tingling, prickling feelings on my feet, lower legs, hands, and forearms. The palms of my hands burned, and it felt like I was rolling glass shards around in my palms. Sometimes I could hardly wait to get home from work and take off my clothes because the arms of my shirts and bottoms of my pants felt painful against my skin. My cheek felt like ants were crawling over them. My doctor ordered bloodwork and B6 came back at an alarmingly high number. I got B6 toxicity from these multivitamins!!! B6 is not necessarily water soluble as is claimed. It's not that simple. I'm here to tell you that you absolutely can get too much B6 in your system and suffer peripheral neuropathy like I and many others have. I didn't drink any fortified sports drinks or have any other sources of B6 besides naturally occurring in foods. It is dangerous to put so much B6 into this formula. Thorne is usually an impressive company, but they need to get current on B6 toxicity potential. I do not know if my nerves will ever completely heal since nerves take the longest in the body to regenerate. So I now suffer awful nerve pain for what may last the rest of my life. That's extremely upsetting. If you take these, really think through if you need the recommended dose of 3. One or two might be enough. I've decided to get my vitamins and minerals from real food. Too little, too late for the damage to my body though. Proceed with caution!
