Also known as pyridoxine, vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that must be replenished daily for optimal health as it’s not stored in the body. It is involved in more bodily functions than most other single nutrients. Amongst its many characteristics, vitamin B6 is necessary for the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. It therefore helps metabolize fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
Vitamin B6 has a positive effect on both physical and mental health, and has been called the “woman’s vitamin” because of the range of hormonal symptoms it may help to alleviate. Pyridoxine is also required for the proper functioning of more than 60 enzymes and is involved in the energy cycle by activating the release of glycogen from the liver and muscles. For this reason, it is essential to physical activity and plays an especially important role for those who lead active lifestyles.
Natural Factors Vitamin B6 tablets help with the metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates and are a factor in the maintenance of overall good health. Ideal for women of child-bearing age, this vitamin helps manage hormonal symptoms.
