Vitamin B6 - Everything you need to know
What is vitamin B6?
Like vitamin C, vitamin B6 belongs to the group of water-soluble vitamins and is sensitive to light and heat. Vitamin B6 is also known as pyridoxine. However, this consists of a group of three compounds (pyridoxine, pyridoxal and pyridoxamine). Vitamin B6 must be taken in regularly through food, as the body cannot produce it itself.
What foods contain vitamin B6?
Everyone can absorb vitamin B6 through their diet. Meat, such as beef fillet, chicken, turkey breast, or fish, as well as milk and milk products, avocado, potatoes and nuts, are considered rich in vitamin B6. It is important to prepare these foods as gently as possible because, as mentioned above, they are very heat-sensitive and water-soluble.
But our One Bear A DAY vitamins, Ah-Mazing Hair vitamins and our Femtastic PMS vitamins all contain vitamin B6.
What are the benefits of taking vitamin B6?
Vitamin B6 is very important for the human body, as it is a building block for many enzymes. It is involved in many metabolic processes, including the coenzymes pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) and pyridoxamine phosphate (PMP), which are formed from vitamin B6.
Vitamin B6 is very important for amino acid metabolism since endogenous substances are formed from amino acids. Pyridoxal phosphate is involved in the production of messenger substances for the nervous system, such as serotonin, dopamine or histamine. However, it also plays an important role in the production of haemoglobin, which is important for blood formation.
Pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) and vitamin B6 are also involved in fat metabolism and the immune system.
Finally, the intake of vitamin B6 is said to alleviate complaints such as morning sickness and premenstrual syndrome (PMS), among others.
NASSIM JAMALZADEH:
"Taking vitamin B6 is particularly important because vitamin B6 is involved in various metabolic processes (such as in amino acid metabolism or fat metabolism). Also, vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity and is important for the immune system".
FAQS ABOUT VITAMIN B6
FAQS ABOUT VITAMIN B6
The frequency at which one should take vitamin B6 depends on each person. If you consume plenty of it through your diet and can thus cover your daily needs, an additional intake is not necessary. It is best to ask your doctor and have regular blood work done.
This depends mainly on gender and age, as well as various other factors, such as whether you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any medical conditions. However, the NHS (National Health Service) recommends a daily amount of 1.4-1.6 mg. However, it must be mentioned that the information from the NHS are recommendations and not maximum amounts.
Only when vitamin B6 is taken in high doses over a longer period of time, i.e. more than 500 mg, can one speak of a chronic overdose. This can cause consequences such as nerve damage. It is then characterised by fatigue, signs of paralysis, inflammation of the skin and disturbances in temperature sensation. However, studies have also shown that a very high dose of vitamin B6 can reduce the development of dementia.
