The BIG vitamin B topic

to take 90mg of B6 where 1 tablet = 2mg

90/2=45 tablets you need to swallow.

300mg magnesium * 45 = 13.5 grams of magnesium.

45 tablets it nuts, and that amount of magnesium might cause some wacky things. probably excrete most of it unused but still. find the cleanest/purest stuff you can, so you dont end up injuring yourself somehow.

How some of you can possibly take 200mg of B6 - that is 100 tablets. Or do you take them in some other form?

10 mg = 500% of recommended daily intake…

so 2 mg should be used daily,

taking 200 mg is like… 10000% of what is recommended… That would be like poisoning yourself…

Mine come in 100 MGs per tablet, is it still dangerous? Sometimes I take two.

At home we got some B-complex with 5120% recommended…

I think it won’t harm if you’d do it once in a period of x-time… just not to often :razz:

Are you guys serious? GODDESS!
I have to take two pills of B Complex every day because my body is too acid (yes, that’s exactly what I wrote, and no, I’m not way too acid, just a tiny little bit, but it makes a hell of a difference when you are a living creature).

Your body is way too acid?

Are you seriously taking 2 a day… o_0 That could be harmful over a long period of time I think, well, if that’s what you got subcribed, I guess the doctor know’s what he’s doing? =\

Bear in mind that brazilian medicine is mild compared to drugs sold everywhere else.

I find that a small amount of B6 before sleep increases the vividity of my dreams. By “small amount” I mean 20 milligrams. Most supplemental B6s are 50+ milligrams.

B6 is not dangerous. It is “neurotoxic” if you take insanely high amounts daily. However, in the same way WATER is neurotoxic. So, basically, anything can be made dangerous. That doesn’t mean it is when used properly.

I still dont know where you find those tablets with 50mg of B6 or even more. I have checked today in the supermarket and the maximum I could find was 9mg.

You can get these in the supermarket here in Australia (100mg tablets):

I was taking two of these a day until they ran out (really helped with my PMS :rofl: ) I found when I started taking these my dreams were way more vivid than normal, and I was recalling more dreams. But as time progressed the vividness and recall came down to an almost above normal level. I believe I only had two LDs in the period I was taking them… which is about normal for me. (over 30 days)

I also noticed that my left arm/hand were becoming a bit tingly/pins and needlesish which wasn’t painful but more irritating. But I think this is now coming down too now that I have stoped taking them.

Are you joking? I have a hard time finding B6 supplements under 50mg. Where do you live?

By the way, don’t take a massive dose of B6 before you lie down. You might not be able to sleep.

In the UK the most supplements have 2mg that is 100% RDA

Wow.

For the last few weeks my dream recall has been decent, I had no complaints.

But last night was intense. I took one B complex, and another B6 before heading to bed. It seemed like whenever I would drift to sleep, even for a minute, I’d have long, detailed dreams that would not fade.

I recomend B6 to everyone having trouble recalling their dreams.

How much do you take on average? 25mg seems to be the nice medium for me. Other people seem to be more tolerant. I’m curious.

Hmm I tried taking some b6 recall seemed increased, vividness slightly increased. I’ll give it another go tonight after a night of sleep deprivation (not too intentional) and see how things go

Am I the only one who has nothing so miraculous to report about B6? I take B6 nightly, and for awhile it did help. However, it wasn’t at all significant. I thought the dose may have been too low, so I increased it. Then, at 250mgs, I could barely attempt to sleep. Those doses make sleeping really difficult. How do you do it?

So, while small doses of B6 can be useful for enhancing dreams to some extent, I can think of more effective herbals and vitamins.

hello all…i’ve been reading the forum for a couple days and i figured i should contribute something somewhat useful so i went out and did an experiment for my first post…if you don’t feel like wading through a bunch of introduction to get to the findings of my experiment then just scroll to the bottom where the line of asterisks is or the second line of asterisks if you want the even more summarized version

now being an artist i’m not usually so stressed about the deat’s but when it comes to matters of science i try to be as precise as possible to bear out any possible errors i may have made during the course of my experimentation so please stay with me

so here is the break down of yesterday and today:

subject r - woke up at around 11 am, (had gone to bed at about 2 am the night before)

subjetct z - woke up around 1 pm (had gone to bed at about 2 am the night before)

subject b - (me) woke up around 3 pm (had aslo gone to bed at about 2 am the night before)

so basically i went to the local organic food cooperative and looked around for a while for various herbal remedies and vitamins i had been reading about to aid dreaming and decided on B-6 because anything else I recognized from my hours of browsing through the forum and various books was extremely expensive, (the B-6 was still $6.15 for 90 100 mg tablets)


long story short I gave 2 100 mg tablets to subject Z sometime that night…he took them at around 1 am and went to bed at around 3:30 am (after watching two episodes of Lost) subject Z woke up around 7 am and reported no dream recall at all

I gave subject R one 100 mg tablet at around 11 and she took it with a swig of Perrier…she went to sleep soon after and reported that it took her longer than usual to get to sleep (usually only five minutes, she says, although I would wager that that may be a little bit of an exaggeration) saying it took about 45 minutes to fall asleep. She reported very little dream recall but knowing that she did dream and dream vividly and have many dreams. Today at around 3:00 she saw a pair of shoes that reminded her that her dream was about trying on Nike shoes and going swimming.

Now as for me, subject B, I took one 100 mg pill at 11:30 and went to bed 15 minutes later. It took me at least 45 minutes to fall asleep but it was not a tossing, turning, anxious insomniac awake it was a completely relaxed consciousness and a very gradual fading into sleep. I checked my watch sometime later and found that it was already 3 in the morning and I am not sure if I did actually fall asleep in between or not but I feel like I must have. Anyway - my alarm was set for 6:45 but I didn’t get out of bed until 7:45. When I first got out of bed I thought that I had not dreamed at all the previous night. In fact I didn’t remember having any dreams until about an hour later when I ran into subject A and rememembered that I had dreamed about her, however it only came back to me in little bits and pieces.


Bottom line is that subjects B +R reported it taking them longer to get to bed and that they had no recall (100 mg)

Subject R reported an increase in dream vividness and frequency

and Subject Z reported nothing (200 Mg)

Nature’s Plus Vitamin B-6 (as pyridoxine HCI) 5000% DV

edit: going to bed now, tonight i’ve just stuck with dairy products and bananas (about three of those scrumptious yellow fruits) so we’ll see if i do better with that

I recently got some Vitamin B-6 and I have had plenty of nights to test it out and every time I took 100mg I would always have at least 1 vivid ND compared to any other dosage.
