Refer to label instructionsVitamin B6Years ago, researchers discovered that animals who were deficient in vitamin B6 could not properly process MSG.14 Typical reactions to MSG have also been linked to vitamin B6 deficiency in people.15 In one study, eight out of nine such people stopped reacting to MSG when given 50 mg of vitamin B6 per day for at least 12 weeks.
The actual percentage of people with MSG sensitivity who are deficient in vitamin B6 and who respond to B6 supplementation is unknown. Nonetheless, many doctors suggest that people having MSG-sensitivity symptoms try supplementing with vitamin B6 for three months as a trial.
