This Vitamin B6 Synergistic formula includes the more bioavailable pyridoxal-5'-phosphate form, complemented with additional cofactors for maximum absorption.

Vitamin B6 is needed for more than 100 enzymes involved in protein metabolism. It is also essential for red blood-cell metabolism. The nervous and immune systems need vitamin B6 to function efficiently, and it is also needed for the conversion of tryptophan (an amino acid) to niacin (a vitamin).

Your body needs vitamin B6 to make hemoglobin. Vitamin B6 also helps increase the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin. A vitamin B6 deficiency can result in a form of anemia that is similar to iron-deficiency anemia.

Vitamin B6, through its involvement in protein metabolism and cellular growth, is important to the immune system. It helps maintain the health of lymphoid organs (thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes) that make your white blood cells.

Vitamin B6 also helps maintain your blood glucose (sugar) within a normal range. When caloric intake is low, your body needs vitamin B6 to help convert stored carbohydrate or other nutrients to glucose in order to maintain normal blood sugar levels. While a shortage of vitamin B6 will limit these functions, supplements of this vitamin do not enhance them in well-nourished individuals.

Vitamin B6 has been shown to work together with vitamin B12 and folic acid / folate to reduce blood levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that builds and maintains tissues. Elevated homocysteine levels can increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, or loss of circulation in your hands and feet.

Adults: Take 1 capsule daily with food or a meal, or as directed by your health-care practitioner.
