Vitamine B6 (pyridoxine) > pour compléments alimentaires
To have a complement portfolio of different vitamins, BTC offers you a wide range of the water-soluble B-vitamins. Pyridoxine is for example often used in a B-vitamin-complex with other B-vitamins.
Physiological importance
Vitamin B6 includes pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, pyridoxal as well as their phosphates. In the form of the coenzymes pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP) and pyridoxamine phosphate (PMP), vitamin B6 plays a key role in the amino acid metabolism. As a coenzyme for the synthesis of biogenic amines it is required for the central nervous system (CNS). In addition, vitamin B6 plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism, specifically for the release of glucose from glycogen.
Consequences of a vitamin B6 deficiency
Isolated vitamin B6 deficiency is rarely found in humans, because the supply of other B-complex vitamins is frequently inadequate as well. Typical symptoms include pellagra-like dermatitis, inflammations in the mouth and on the lips and nervous disorders.
