Life Extension Vitamin B6 Description
-
Vitamin B6, or pyridoxine, is a component of the vitamin B complex and necessary for optimal health. In its active form, pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP), vitamin B6 is a cofactor in more than 160 enzyme-driven reactions in the body that affect amino acid transformation, synthesis and breakdown of neurotransmitters, cellular energy production and use, immune function, methylation and DNA synthesis and repair.
-
While most people get enough B6 from food sources, some people are B6 deficient. Optimal blood levels of PLP may help support cardiovascular and neurological health. Through its role as a methylator, vitamin B6 (along with B12 and folate) helps maintain homocysteine levels already within the normal range.
-
One study noted a connection between vitamin B6 levels, high homocysteine levels and increased mortality.

Whole-body health – Vitamin B6 helps inhibit glycation reactions. This, in turn, can support a healthy nervous system, cardiovascular health, eye health and even kidney function.
-
The feel-good vitamin – Vitamin B6 is an important part of biological processes like cellular energy production, immune response and serotonin production (the “feel-good” neurotransmitter).
