The Institute of Medicine notes, "No adverse effects associated with vitamin B6 from food have been reported. This does not mean that there is no potential for adverse effects resulting from high intakes. Because data on the adverse effects of vitamin B6 are limited, caution may be warranted. Sensory neuropathy has occurred from high intakes of supplemental forms." See the full Dietary Reference Intake Table from the Institute of Medicine.

Famous quotes containing the word reference:
“I think, for the rest of my life, I shall refrain from looking up things. It is the most ravenous time-snatcher I know. You pull one book from the shelf, which carries a hint or a reference that sends you posthaste to another book, and that to successive others. It is incredible, the number of books you hopefully open and disappointedly close, only to take down another with the same result.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
