Combined High Intake of Vitamin B6 and B12 Supplements Linked to Increased Risk of Hip Fractures

                                                  Combined High Intake of Vitamin B6 and B12 Supplements Linked to Increased Risk of Hip Fractures

A study published in JAMA (The Journal of the American Medical Association) Network Open found a connection between high intake of vitamin B6 and B12 supplements and hip fractures. A combined high intake of both vitamins increased the risk of hip fracture by as much as 50%. High intake of both vitamin B6 and B12 interacting together seem to increase risk, but a high intake of B12 and a low intake of B6 isn’t associated with increased risk. Researchers suspect high doses of vitamin B6 may increase the risk of falling, and act against hormones that help maintain bone density.
