more about vitamin b6

The active form of vitamin B6 is called pyridoxal phosphate, which is a coenzyme included in the synthesis of, for example, amino acids, the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine, as well as in the formation of myelin. Vitamin B6 is thus a necessary vitamin for the body's nervous system and normal metabolism. It also affects your mood. Vitamin B6 contributes to the body's protein metabolism by converting one amino acid to another. Amino acids that promote the protein synthesis have long been popular supplements for workouts and muscle growth.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has identified a connection between vitamin B6 and:

• the metabolism of protein and glycogen
• a normally functioning nervous system
• the formation of red blood cells
• maintaining a normal immune system
• the regulation of hormonal activity
