Seizures

Seizures can occur for a variety of reasons, including a B6 deficiency. Because the body cannot produce enough of the calming neurotransmitter GABA without enough B6, the brain can become overstimulated. Muscle spasms, eye-rolling, arm or leg jerking, rapid, uncontrollable tremors, and loss of consciousness are all indications of seizures.

Seizures in babies can be caused by a B6 deficiency. The earliest examples were discovered in newborns fed B6-deficient baby formula in the 1950s. Seizures caused by B6 deficiency have recently been documented in adults. Pregnancy, alcohol addiction, drug interactions, and liver illness are the most common causes of these occurrences. Supplementing with B6 has been demonstrated to be particularly effective in the treatment of seizures associated with it.
