B6 AND zinc combination for antiandrogenic effects

frenchiebull · 12-14-2002, 10:27 PM

So i've been doing research online again on natural antiandrogens and i keep finding articles that say b6 and zinc combined inhibit androgens but none of the articles say how much b6 and zinc(mgs.)to take.Also what kind of zinc to take?Sulfate?chelated?Does anybody know?I've read somewhere in the past that taking too much b6 can cause nerve damage and worsen acne so i want to make sure that i have the right combination.

I don't know much about the amounts but I thought that B vitamins were water soulable and therefore very hard to take too much of - you just pee out the extra.
(And B vitamins make your pee VERY yellow...)

I take a B supplement every day AND a regular daily vitamin, under the advice of my doctor who said the B complex could help with BCP induced depression.
