Should we include the February decision by the FDA that effectively bans this molecule from dietary supplementation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.203.14.127 (talk) 06:36, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
The controversy around the FDA ban should be covered

The FDA said that there was no evidence that pyridoxamine dihydrochloride had ever been sold as a supplement. But Jarrow sold retail 'Pyridoxal' for a couple of years. I still have my purchase order.99.189.170.160 (talk) 15:11, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Is this in the courts yet? For FDA Ammendment Act of 2007 to retroactively (apparently) change the FDA charter legistation (the Food Drug and Cosmetics act) seems like it should be unconstitutional (although I'm not a lawyer). It also circumvents DHSEA, which is likely why it was passed (although this is opinionand POV).
And didn't either Biostratum or MediCure also try to patent the P5P form? And aren't both forms (pyridoxamine and P5P) actually found in food (in higher concentrations than "ordinary" pyridoxine - I read somewhere - secondary 'health food' source that I won't trust until I source it to primary..)
