Can I take 50 and Vitamin b complex together?

Why this happens

Vitamin B6 acts as a 'helper' (cofactor) for the enzyme that turns 5-HTP into serotonin. Taking them together may actually make the 5-HTP more effective.

It is generally safe to take these together. However, if you are taking any prescribed antidepressants (such as SSRIs like fluoxetine or sertraline), you must speak to your doctor before taking 5-HTP, as this can lead to a serious condition called serotonin syndrome. Always stick to the recommended dose on the packaging.
