"Vitamin B6" is a supplement formulated with pyridoxine, an essential cofactor in enzymatic reactions present in poultry, fish, and bananas. It is involved in myelin sheath formation, ensuring efficient nerve conduction. Pyridoxine assists in heme synthesis, supporting red blood cell longevity and oxygen transport. It plays a role in amino acid metabolism, aiding protein utilization and neurotransmitter production. It influences homocysteine regulation, a factor in cardiovascular balance. As a key nutritional component, Vitamin B6 supports enzymatic function and metabolism.
