Vitamin B6

[Sean]

Is now illegal to purchase without a script. How about here? Should I purchase 12 boxes before they make it illegal here as well?

bump I would like to know also

[gicantor]

I don't think it is. I was just in the drug store yesterday and it was still on the shelves. Are they suppose to make it illegal?

The FDA has effectively banned a naturally-occurring form of vitamin B6 called pyridoxamine by declaring it to be a drug, reports the American Association for Health Freedom. Responding to a petition filed by a drug company, the FDA declared pyridoxamine to be “a new drug.”

Now, any nutritional supplements containing pyridoxamine will be considered adulterated and illegal by the FDA, which may raid vitamin companies and seize such products. See the history of FDA raids on vitamin companies here: http://www.naturalnews.com/021791.html

Pyridoxamine occurs naturally in fish, chicken and other foods (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B6), putting the FDA in the strange position of banning a substance from dietary supplements even though it is already present in the food supply.

The FDA’s war on Mother Nature

It’s not the first time the FDA has declared a natural molecule to be a “drug” while attacking nutritional supplements that contain the same molecule. A similar story unfolded with red yeast rice and the lovastatin molecules it contains that lower high cholesterol. The drug companies engaged in biopiracy, ripping off the molecule from red yeast rice to make their now-famous “statin drugs.” Once the statin drugs were patented, Big Pharma and the FDA went after red yeast rice, claiming the supplement was “adulterated with pharmaceuticals.”

It wasn’t really adulterated, of course. It just contained a natural statin-drug-like molecule that the drug companies copied and patented.

It would be like Big Pharma patenting vitamin C, then the FDA claiming that all oranges and lemons were adulterated with drugs because they naturally contain their own vitamin C.

This is the insanity of the FDA as it operates today. You can read more about the FDA on our channel webiste www.FDAreform.org which is updated every few days.

So will this ruling on pyridoxamine affect nutritional supplements? Yes, any supplements containing this form of vitamin B6 can now be declared “adulterated” by the FDA. Manufacturers of such supplements can be arrested and shut down for engaging in “illegal drug trafficking.” Such is the nature of the FDA’s agenda to criminalize nutritional supplement companies and limit consumers’ access to Mother Nature’s remedies.

I went to shoppers tonight and bought some B12 inject and they said they can order me B6 if I want it at $36 per 10ml

I have not done any research on B6... Is it worth it?

Well **** me, what a bunch of ****s.

Well in reality it`s just a chance for our beloved UG labs to cash in on a supp now made illegal. What`s good for them is good for us in the long run.

And it's funny how they won't have to probably go out of their way to get to the source..lol.

Bloody ridiculous. I'm just waiting until oxygen and water are patented...

Don`t give them any ideas...

[Illsuions]

This is just sick and sad, just another way for pharm companys to try and monopolize and cash in. Creatine will probably be next...

[proximo]

Unbelievable. I just hope Canada does not follow the trend. So far, we still have ephedrine (knock on wood). Maybe it is time to stock up a little on certain supps.

That is just too much.
