HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin B-6 100 mg by Nature's Blend

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Vitamin B-6 100 mg by Nature's Blend contains one active ingredient: pyridoxine (vitamin B6) at 100 mg per tablet. Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble B vitamin your body needs for brain development, immune function, and how you process proteins and amino acids.

The tablet also contains inactive ingredients—calcium phosphate, modified cellulose, magnesium stearate, croscarmellose sodium, and silica—which help hold the tablet together and aid absorption.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Vitamin B6's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: energy and stress relief.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Depression, Fatigue, Mental wellness.
  • The closest evidence on file: Vitamin B6 is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vitamin B6 is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Depression, Postpartum depression.

Vitamin B6 is effective for treating sideroblastic anemia (a blood disorder) and B6 deficiency itself. It's also effective for pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy, a rare genetic condition.

The evidence is strong that it helps with high homocysteine levels (hyperhomocysteinemia), and it may help with pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting—though if you're pregnant, that should only be used under a doctor's supervision.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin B6

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Vitamin B6 is well tolerated at doses under 100 mg daily. Common side effects at higher doses can include headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, heartburn, loss of appetite, and drowsiness.

The main concern with long-term use of high doses is nerve damage (sensory neuropathy), especially at doses above 1,000 mg daily or cumulative totals of 1,000 grams or more—though nerve damage can occasionally happen at lower doses too. Normal dietary amounts and standard supplements are considered safe, but avoid high doses unless a doctor advises otherwise.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Vitamin B6.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: Parkinson's medications.
  • For scale: 210 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you start, double-check if you take blood pressure medication (Moderate interaction), seizure drugs like phenytoin or phenobarbital (Moderate), the heart rhythm drug amiodarone (Moderate), or levodopa without carbidopa (Minor).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're deficient in B6 or have been diagnosed with one of the conditions this vitamin treats, 100 mg is a reasonable dose. If you take blood pressure medication, seizure medication, or levodopa, check with your pharmacist first—this product can affect how those drugs work.

It's generally well tolerated, but don't use high-dose B6 long-term without medical guidance.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Vitamin B-6 100 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Vitamin B65 drug types · 210 drugs

Amiodarone (Cordarone)

Theoretically, vitamin B6 might increase the photosensitivity caused by amiodarone.
Despite initial case reports suggesting that pyridoxine may have a protective effect against amiodarone-induced photosensitivity, preliminary clinical research suggests that pyridoxine may actually exacerbate this adverse effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, vitamin B6 may have additive effects when used with antihypertensive drugs.
Research in hypertensive rats shows that vitamin B6 can decrease systolic blood pressure. Similarly, clinical research in patients with hypertension shows that taking high doses of vitamin B6 may reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure, possibly by reducing plasma levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Phenobarbital (Luminal)

High doses of vitamin B6 may reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenobarbital.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that vitamin B6 200 mg daily can reduce plasma levels of phenobarbital, possibly by increasing metabolism. It is not known whether lower doses have any effect. Advise people taking phenobarbital to avoid high doses of vitamin B6.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Phenytoin (Dilantin)

High doses of vitamin B6 may reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenytoin.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that vitamin B6 200 mg daily can reduce plasma levels of phenytoin, possibly by increasing metabolism. It is not known whether lower doses have any effect. Advise people taking phenytoin to avoid high doses of vitamin B6.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Levodopa

Vitamin B6 may increase the metabolism of levodopa when taken alone, but not when taken in conjunction with carbidopa.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) enhances the metabolism of levodopa, reducing its clinical effects. However, this interaction does not occur when carbidopa is used concurrently with levodopa (Sinemet). Therefore, it is not likely to be a problem in most people.

Vitamin B-6 100 mg by Nature's Blend: Common Questions

Does Vitamin B-6 100 mg by Nature's Blend interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vitamin B-6 100 mg has a known interaction with 210 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Vitamin B-6 100 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
Vitamin B6 is sometimes used for morning sickness, but there's no pregnancy safety data on file for this product. If you're pregnant or considering pregnancy, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any supplement—they can advise you based on your situation.
What are the common side effects?
At the 100 mg dose in this product, side effects are uncommon. At higher doses, some people report headache, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, or drowsiness. Nerve damage is rare at moderate doses but becomes a concern with long-term high-dose use.
Is this the right dose for me?
That depends on why you're taking it. If you have B6 deficiency or one of the conditions this vitamin treats, your doctor or pharmacist can tell you if 100 mg is right for you. Normal dietary sources usually provide enough B6 for healthy people.
Will this interfere with my Parkinson's medication?
If you take levodopa with carbidopa (Sinemet), vitamin B6 won't interfere. If you take levodopa alone, B6 could reduce how well it works, so mention this supplement to your pharmacist first.
Can I take this long-term?
At 100 mg daily, vitamin B6 is generally well tolerated. However, very high doses or very long-term use at high doses can damage nerves over time. Stick to normal amounts, and if you want to take it for extended periods, check in with your pharmacist.
