Vitamin
B-6
Vitamin
B-6 has a wide variety of metabolic
functions in the body, especially
in amino acid metabolism and in
the central nervous system.
Vitamin
B6 is a co-factor in over 100
enzymatic reactions in the body.
These include the formation and
breakdown of amino acids, the
conversion of amino acids to carbohydrate
or fat, and in fat metabolism.
It is involved in the manufacture
of most protein-related compounds
and plays a role in almost all
bodily processes.
Central
Nervous System
Adequate vitamin B6 is vital
to the healthy development and
function of the nervous system.
It is involved in the manufacture
of several neurotransmitters,
and plays an important role in
regulating mental processes and
mood.
Immune
System
Vitamin B6 plays a vital role
in many different aspects of the
immune system, including the quality
and quantity of antibodies and
the number of infection-fighting
white blood cells.
Vitamin
B-6 is also involved in the manufacture
of hormones and red blood cells,
sodium-potassium balance, histamine
metabolism, and the conversion
of tryptophan to niacin.
Cardiovascular
System
Vitamin B6 has been observed to
exert beneficial effects on the
cardiovascular system through
several suggested mechanisms.
The first is vitamin B-6's role
in maintaining a normal homocysteine
level. Homocysteine is a byproduct
of amino acid metabolism. Low
circulating levels of homocysteine
are associated with heart and
vascular health.
Vitamin
B6 is essential for the manufacture
of fat-derived substances known
as prostaglandins which are involved
in processes such as blood pressure
regulation, heart function and
platelet aggregation.
Skin
and Hair
Vitamin B6 is important in maintaining
healthy hair and skin.
Premenstrual
Syndrome (PMS)
Vitamin B6 is effective in relieving
some of the symptoms of PMS, including
depression, breast tenderness
and bloating.
