Pyridoxine is a water-soluble B vitamin. There are several forms of B6 including pyridoxine, pyridoxal and pyridoxamine. B6 is involved in more body functions than any other single nutrient. It maintains fluid balance in the body, which can be useful for women who experience PMS bloating or individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome. B6 helps to make hemoglobin, the oxygen- carrying component of red blood cells. It is needed to synthesize genetic material and is essential for normal cellular growth. B6 is required for the production of neurochemicals in the brain, such as serotonin, which regulates pleasurable experiences and appetite, and GABA, which calms the body. Therefore, B6 is useful for a variety of neurological disorders including autism and hormonally related depression. It plays an important role in the conversion of homocysteine into harmless substances. Homocysteine damages the inner lining of arteries and high levels of homocysteine are correlated to an increased risk of atherosclerosis. B6 can be used to treat anemia, allergies, arthritis, asthma, kidney stones, pregnancy-related nausea and MS.
Why do I Need B Vitamins?
The Nutrition Almanac states that B vitamins "may be the single most important factor for maintenance of the nerves."B vitamins are essential for healthy skin, hair, eyes, mouth and liver. Water-soluble B vitamins are not stored in the body and must be replenished daily.
All of the B vitamins work together and are best used by the body in a B complex, which is why many B complex supplements include a small dose of riboflavin in them. If additional supplementation of riboflavin is needed it should be taken in addition to a good B complex. Most B vitamins are water-soluble and any extra from large doses is flushed out of the body easily, therefore it's best to take lower dosages of the B complex several times a day than one larger dose. Spray or sublingual forms of B vitamins are easily absorbed, as are capsules - if your digestion is healthy, then the tablet form is usually suitable for most people.
