As far as I know, it is not.

It is still within the realm of safe dosing as far as peripheral neuropathy risk goes. He also bases the dose loosely on weight, with half the total amount listed previously for people weighing less than 140 lbs (60 kgs). (And also offset in that the B6 is not being taken alone, but rather with the family of coenzymes critical to proper metabolism, mitochondrial function and the turning of the wheel of the glorious Krebs' cycle....(TCA for the new kids on the block).)

Feel free to get in touch with Dr. Kaiser--I have his email address if
you'd like as well and he has a website (www.jonkaiser.com).

My only problem with the protocol in the US is that it is expensive and far beyond the means of many people with HIV. In NY State, however, it is now covered by ADAP and Medicaid.

The point, however, is that these dosages are routinely taken without
trouble and I think represent good doses overall for a multivtiamin/mineral formula. the next trick is sourcing the raw material or finding a good company that will produce quality products in terms of identity, potency, purity, dissolution, bioavailability, etc. But then those are issues regardless of the constituent dosages.
