Vitamin B6 was a factor when levodopa alone was used; however, with Sinemet (carbidopa-levodopa) normal amounts of B6 are not considered to interfere with absorption. Very large amounts of B6 (as in some supplement) can interfere with Sinemet, though, and should be taken separately from Sinemet by 2 hours. Protein also blocks Sinemet absorption, some people are more sensitive to protein than others, however.
