Have you tried a P5P supplement? It is the activated form of B6. Some people are missing co factors or are genetically enzyme deficient.They are unable to convert B6 effectively for use in the cells.

I take a Kirkman Labs supplement called Super Nuthera with p5p. It seems to do the trick. I am also Hypothyroid with a family history.

Good Luck.

Thanks. I’ll have to look into it.

I didn’t really notice much difference when I started taking B6, so I don’t take it anymore.

Maybe I’m missing enzymes or something, because I’m not an alcoholic and I eat a wide variety of decent foods.

I shouldn’t have any vitamin deficiencies, but hypothyroidism screws up everything, so who knows?

I had not heard that before. Do you have any articles about low vitamin D and hypothyroid? My daughter has both. In fact, her D levels were so low that her doctor put her on a whopping huge dose for about a month. It made me worry a bit, but now several months later, her D levels are low again! It does make you wonder if some people’s bodies don’t “hang onto” D as they ought. Storage problem? Absorption problem? I wonder...

I have a bunch of articles about Vitamin D I could email to you if you Freep mail me your e-address.....I’d attach them. I’ve been a pest with family and friends about Vit D3 for a year or more....
