Savannah is a college athlete and she wants to ensure that her diet is not compromising her athletic performance. she has heard that athletes may require more vitamin b-6 than sedentary adults. what sensible nutrition advice would you give savannah regarding vitamin b-6 supplementation?

Vitamin B-6 is an essential vitamin that the body requires for normal brain development and for other several metabolic processes. Vitamin b-6 can be found in foods such as poultry, bananas, meat and fish and it is also available as a supplement, usually in tablet or suspension.

The sensible nutrition advice I would give Savannah regarding vitamin b-6 supplementation is that the intake of high doses of vitamin b-6 supplement should be avoided because it pose a risk for health issues such as nerve damage, loss of muscle control, heartburn and photosensitivity. She can derive enough vitamin b-6 from foods if she does not limit her food intake. Also, excessive intake of the vitamin through food is considered safe and not harmful to the body.
