Pyridoxine or Vitamin B6 plays an important role in a variety of biochemical reactions that our bodies need to maintain life and health. In particular, this element normalizes the liver, our filter, and helps the immune system to resist microbes. The effects of the vitamin are due to the action of pyridoxal-5-phosphate, which is formed with the participation of the enzyme pyridoxal kinase.

The synthesis of prostaglandins, hormone-like substances, on the work of which our life directly depends, as they participate in the expansion of blood vessels and the opening of bronchial passages, cannot do without pyridoxine. Disorders in any function lead to inflammation, tissue damage, schizophrenia and, in the worst case, malignant neoplasms.

Vitamin B6 is recommended to be replenished from food or taking special supplements such as NOW B-6. Food sources of pyridoxine are beef, chicken, turkey, liver, kidney and heart, any fish.
