Early research suggests that vitamin B6 may help reduce anxiety, although the benefits appear to be modest. In a recent trial from the University of Reading in England, young adults taking high-dose B6 for one month reported feeling less anxious than those given a placebo or vitamin B12. Researchers used visual tests that show how strongly the visual part of the brain reacts to patterns. People taking high-dose B6 had responses that were less "amped up" and more controlled, which suggests stronger calming activity.

From June 2027 any vitamin B6 product containing more than 50mg in each recommended daily dose will be moved behind the pharmacy counter. The recommended dietary intake of vitamin B6 for a healthy adult is just 1.3mg to 1.7mg a day. The decision follows a Therapeutic Goods Administration review and public consultation process identifying 250 reports of peripheral neuropathy or damage to the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord and related conditions, with most of those reports made since 2023.

According to Dole's announcement, the newly-released Colada Royale pineapple - the product of 15 years of research and development - features a taste with "distinct notes of coconut and piña colada." Dole officially shared this strain of pineapple to the world earlier this month, at the IFPA Global Produce and Floral Show. At the show in question, the pineapple received an award for the best promoted product at the event.
