What people say about Vitamin B6 and sleep
“I take a multivitamin in the morning and B12/B6 around 2pm. The B6 helps to hit deep sleep.”
“I have been taking just the magnesium actually for the last month or so. Never noticed an effect from it. It wasn't until I added in the zinc and b6 that I noticed all these benefits.”
“I actually once took B6 before going to sleep and experienced extremely vivid and lucid dreams, but they weren't restful at all.”
“the only b vitamin I notice is straight up b6. It feels gabaergic... helps me sleep, helps me dream, and helps me stay a little more relaxed in the day.”
