@nana59

It depends what you are taking it for.

Generally, 50 mg 3 times per day. 

Please don't get plain B6. Google for explanation of why. The safe form to use is P-5-P AKA Co-Enzymated Vitamin B-6. It is easy to find.

b6 100 mg.   my wife had carpal tunal on one hand and needs it on the other. a pharmasist told me that she couldnt hardly use her hands but after taking b6 her hands were so much better. she said she has been taking it for 15 years.and it helps my wife to. her mom is 73 and has artheritus and now we got her taking b6 and she  ran out of them for a few days and she said i allready feel the difference with out them so shes back on them to. good luck to all of you. hope this helps.

Thank you for this wonderful info.  I have hand pain every so often and  use my heating

pad and an arthritis glove.

Yes, I had carpal tunnel bad and B6 saved me from surgery.

Taking Vitamin B6 - in the co-enzymated (safer) form - P5P - cured my trigger thumb. A lot of similar problems are caused by vitamin deficiencies and doctors are ordering surgery to fix them because they don't know.

With a trigger thumb, I would be REALLY interested to understand exactly how a vitamin or any substance could have "cured" the anatomic malady portion for what a trigger finger is all about.  Please do explain.

Surgery to correct a trigger finger is successful in most cases and is not complicated.  Physicians order surgery to correct trigger fingers because it works.

There is a book about Vitamin B6 - I can't recall the name right now but I'll look for it later. It can probably answer some of your questions.

I was surprised, too, when I heard that. I'd been told surgery was the only way to fix it & without surgery it would just get worse. My doctor was about to schedule surgery & I told him not to. I wanted to try this first. It is a lot healthier for my body to get a vitamin it is deficient in than to be cut open.

Remember, doctors are taught about treatments and surgeries. Most don't know much about vitamins and nutrition. They can't tell us what they were never taught.

The book is: 

Vitamin B6 Therapy: Nature's Versatile Healer, by John Ellis.

You can also Google "P5P & trigger finger" or "B6 & carpel tunnel" or whatever other thing you might be wondering about. You'll find discussions and testimonials.
