Supplements to consider
None of our references matches Isoniazid. Only one single-ingredient supplement is worth mentioning, as guidance.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)
Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin of the B group, involved in the metabolism of amino acids, the formation of neurotransmitters and the functioning of the nervous system. As a supplement, a single active ingredient at a useful dose is enough; the active form P-5-P (pyridoxal-5-phosphate) can be used directly by the body. High and prolonged intakes of pyridoxine are to be avoided.
Preferred form P-5-P (pyridoxal-5-phosphate) preferably, at a moderate dose; avoid high, prolonged doses
