A highly affordable, high-dose Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl) supplement, but with the typical safety concerns associated with this form and dosage.
Dose: 50mg, Quantity: 100Dose: 100mg, Quantity: 100
Solgar Vitamin B6 100 mg (tablet form) is essentially identical in composition and dosage to its capsule counterpart (ID 107684), offering 100mg of Pyridoxine Hydrochloride per serving. Its standout feature is its very low price per serving, making it one of the most economical high-dose B6 supplements available. Despite its cost-effectiveness, the inherent risk of peripheral neuropathy from extended daily intake of 100mg of pyridoxine HCl remains a concern, aligning with warnings from nutritionists. For individuals prioritizing long-term safety and bioavailability, alternatives featuring the active P-5-P form or lower dosages are generally recommended.
- Offers excellent value with one of the lowest price-per-serving ratios among B6 supplements.
- Provides a potent 100mg dose, suitable for addressing specific, medically supervised deficiencies.
- The 100mg dosage of pyridoxine hydrochloride is associated with a risk of peripheral neuropathy with prolonged daily intake.
- Uses the inactive pyridoxine hydrochloride form, which requires the body to convert it to its active form (P-5-P).
- Potential for peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) with chronic daily consumption of 100mg or more of pyridoxine hydrochloride. Professional health advice is recommended for extended use.

Categories
Vitamin B6 50.0
As a pure Vitamin B6 product, its high dose of pyridoxine hydrochloride is effective for specific, acute needs. However, for everyday use within the Vitamin B6 collection, especially given the availability of active P-5-P forms and balanced B-complexes, its safety profile at this dosage makes it a less optimal choice for long-term supplementation.
Goals
Mood Support 60.0
As a cofactor for neurotransmitters impacting mood, B6 is relevant. Nevertheless, for consistent mood support, the high dosage and form (pyridoxine HCl) warrant caution due to the risk of adverse effects, making other B6 options or broader B-complexes more suitable and safer long-term.
Brain Health 55.0
Involvement in neurotransmitter synthesis supports brain health. However, the 100mg dose of pyridoxine HCl could potentially lead to nerve issues with long-term use, counteracting the desired benefits for sustained brain function. Active forms like P-5-P are preferable for neuroprotection and cognitive support.
Energy 50.0
B6 is crucial for energy metabolism by facilitating nutrient conversion. While this product delivers a substantial dose, the risk profile of high-dose pyridoxine HCl makes it less desirable for general daily energy support compared to formulations with safer forms or more balanced B-complex vitamins.
