Re: The B6 scam - made me so sick

there is some research that says the smallest effective dose is the best dose to take, anywhere from 500 mg, to 1500 mg, up to 3,000 mg. But doses higher than that tend to trip a mechanism in the liver that breaks down the tryptophan using a specific enzyme. this can be partially overcome by taking vitamin B3 which counteracts the enzyme that breaks down the tryptophan.

here is a really great article on tryptophan.
