Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine) is a water-soluble vitamin that is essential in protein metabolism. It facilitates the release of glycogen from the liver and muscle and is involved in the metabolism of fat and nucleic acids. Vitamin B6 also helps to maintain the proper balance of sodium and potassium, which regulate body fluids and promotes the healthy functioning of the nervous and muscular system. Additionally, vitamin B6 deficiency can impair an immune response by limiting nucleic acid synthesis and the production of antibodies.

Vitamin B6 is used for the proper assimilation of protein and fat. Aids in the conversion of tryptophan and essential amino acid, to niacin and helps prevent various nervous and skin disorders. Promotes the proper synthesis of antiaging nucleic acids. Helps reduce dry mouth and urination problems caused by anti-depressants. Reduces night muscle spasms, leg cramps, hand numbness, certain forms of neuritis in the extremities and works as a natural diuretic.

Vitamin B6 should be taken in equal amounts with Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B2

My personal notes about Vitamin B6.

Vitamin B6 should be taken as a complex and one of the best natural sources for this and other B vitamins is Brewers Yeast.

The recommended daily allowance for vitamin B6 is 1.3 mg - 1.7 mg for men, 1.3 mg - 1.5 mg for women (pregnant 1.9 mg and Lactating 2.0 mg)
