Vitamin B6 Benefits
Vitamin B6, or Pyridoxine, contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, normal function of the immune system, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It also affects the normal functioning of a number of different body functions, including cysteine synthesis, energy-yielding metabolism, the nervous system, homocysteine metabolism, protein and glycogen metabolism, psychological function and red blood cell formation.
What is Vitamin B6?
Vitamin B6 is one of the eight B vitamins and is a water-soluble essential nutrient. The human body cannot produce vitamin B6. We, therefore, need to consume it through plants or other animals.
Vitamin B6 has six vitamers, which are chemically similar compounds. These vitamers serve as coenzymes for over 200 essential reactions in the body, mainly related to glucose, lipid and amino acid metabolism.
Vitamin B6 benefits
Consuming the right amount of vitamin B6 provides the body with a host of benefits. As it takes part in so many of your body’s functions, ingesting enough vitamin B6 is important for optimal health and can even help prevent and treat diseases.
Vitamin B6 is needed to create serotonin in the brain. Serotonin elevates your mood, making vitamin B6 an excellent mood booster. Vitamin B6 supplements are often taken during PMS, as it can help to reduce depression and anxiety.
Another great vitamin B6 benefit is that it promotes a stronger immune system and better blood circulation. Studies have also shown that Pyridoxine helps to reduce nausea in pregnant women, alleviating the symptoms of morning sickness.
