Summary
Posted in a long-COVID forum about peripheral neuropathy. The multivitamin gummies were the only supplements that kept the neuropathy at bay, but after two years of use they caused vitamin B6 toxicity. Switching to a B6-free Desert Harvest B complex plus a B9 folate pill cleared the numbness, though the B complex caused other vitamin imbalances. They now take no daily vitamins, using small amounts of B complex with B9 about every two weeks for tingling flare-ups.
