Vitamin B6 is a collective term for several compounds that are very similar. Pyridoxine is the free form of vitamin B6 and is named after its structural similarity to pyridine. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) is the most biologically active form of vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 is an essential nutrient in humans with many specific biochemical functions that generally involve PLP’s use as a cofactor in the metabolism of amino acids, glucose and lipids.

Function

1.Eye health support

Some research shows that vitamin B6 may help to maintain your vision, especially if you are older. This application typically combines vitamin B6 with folic acid and vitamin B12.

2.Menstrual health

Vitamin B6 may help to manage the symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome

(PMS),including breast discomfort.

3.Behavioral support

Vitamin B6 may help to maintain serotonin levels in children, which can support normal behavior.
