This vitamin serves several essential
roles in the body and is a coenzyme in protein metabolism. Pyridoxine
is required for the balancing
of hormonal changes in women, assists the immune
system and supports the growth of new cells. It is also
used in the processing of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
It is needed to help convert tryptophan into niacin, and helps
form red blood cells.
Vitamin B6 facilitates the release of glycogen for energy from
the liver and muscles. It also participates in the utilization
of energy in brain and nervous tissue, thus being essential
in helping to regulate the central nervous system. Individuals
supplementing their diets with vitamin B6 have observed significant
improvements in immuno-competence, especially enhanced lymphocytic
activity.

The amount of vitamins and minerals as set by the RDA only provides
us with the bare minimum required to ward off common vitamin
deficiency diseases such as beriberi, rickets, scurvy and night
blindness. Water soluble vitamins, such as vitamin C, B and
folic acid, must be replenished daily and have been shown to
exhibit numerous positive health effects when taken in amounts
that are greater than the recommended daily allowance.
To obtain the full health
benefits of vitamin B6 we recommend taking a high absorption
liquid vitamin supplement that provides 30-35 mg per day.
- If you are pregnant or nursing do not take any form of vitamin
supplement unless you have discussed its use with your doctor.
