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.
