Vitamin B6, also known pyridoxine, is part of the B complex of vitamins. As a group this collection of vitamins is a key component of good health. They contribute to energy by helping convert carbohydrates to glucose. They are also essential for fat and protein metabolism.
Within the group, Vitamin B6 is responsible for a number of functions. Working in concert with vitamin B12 and folic acid (B9), B6 helps control the amino acid homocysteine. Excess homocysteine leads to higher risk of heart disease and stroke. B6 is central to a healthy neurological system contributing to proper brain development and function as well as maintaining healthy nerve cells. Vitamin B6 is necessary for the body to fully absorb B12, an important contributor to energy. It is also necessary for the production of red blood cells and cells in the immune system. Because of its ability to strengthen the immune system and to help the body withstand stressful conditions, B6 is often referred to as the “anti-stress” vitamin.
It is easy to see that Vitamin B6 is an important nutrient. Women may find it particularly helpful as there is some indication it can help relieve PMS symptoms and may help relieve early pregnancy nausea. Individuals at risk for heart disease may also benefit from taking Vitamin B6 daily. Learn more...
