It also contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system, immune system and mental function. Pyridoxine also contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. Furthermore, vitamin B6 contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism, normal homocysteine metabolism and normal cysteine synthesis. The vitamin also contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells.
Vitamin B6
What is vitamin B6?
Vitamin B6 is not just a single vitamin, it is a collective term that combines various substances. The active and versatile vitamin strengthens the immune system and nerves and is found in many healthy foods. Just one avocado covers almost the entire daily requirement of vitamin B6. However, a deficiency or an overdose is not recommended. Therefore, it is important that the body consumes exactly the right and recommended amount of vitamin B6 , which is also known as pyridoxine.
What does vitamin B6 do in the body?
Vitamin B6 is responsible for the central metabolic processes in the human body. Here it is mainly needed for the conversion and incorporation of various proteins, which are also ingested with food. In addition, B6 is important for fat metabolism, has positive effects on the immune system, forms messenger substances in the nerves and influences various hormone activities. Its effect can be affected by sun, daylight and heat, as it is a water-soluble vitamin.
Foods with vitamin B6
There are several foods that contain vitamin B6. These include most types of meat, fatty fish such as mackerel or sardines, whole grains, cabbage vegetables, legumes, potatoes, bananas avocados, and peanuts and walnuts.
But not everyone’s taste is met with these foods and especially people who eat a vegetarian or vegan diet should pay attention to additional vitamin intake, including vitamin B6.
Because the daily requirement for women is 1.2 mg. Breastfeeding and pregnant women should take even more, up to 1.9 mg B6 daily. For men, the daily requirement is between 1.4 and 1.6 mg.
How to recognize a vitamin B6 deficiency
A deficiency of vitamin B6 in the body can occur due to various diseases, medications, too much alcohol, and with a purely vegetarian and vegan diet. The symptoms of a vitamin B6 deficiency are mainly seen on the skin. An overdose is usually not given. Only those who take too many food supplements that do not correspond to the recommended amount may experience problems. Therefore, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions, where the daily required amount has been calculated exactly.
Those who wish to take a dietary supplement can seek advice in advance. This is especially true for pregnant women, nursing mothers as well as children and adolescents.
What are vitamins in general?
Not only vitamin B6, but many other vitamins exist in this group. These are organic essential micronutrients that must be supplied to the body because it cannot produce them itself. The vitamins must generally be taken in through food, only vitamin D can then be produced by the body itself if the skin is exposed to sufficient sunlight. Vitamins are considered both antioxidants, hormones or cofactors of enzymes and thus support the vital body functions.
With vitamins, a distinction must be made between water-soluble and fat-soluble. Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that cannot be stored in the body as a reserve, as is the case with fat-soluble vitamins. An excess of vitamin B6 is therefore always excreted again via the kidneys. The advantage is that there is never an overdose of vitamin B6. The disadvantage is, since a surplus is not stored and can be retrieved when needed, it must be replenished daily through food or supplements.
There are several different B vitamins, but they have nothing really in common, even though they have been grouped together. However, they do interact with each other and are similar in various functions. Also, the numbering says nothing about the individual B vitamin.
Compose a healthy mixture

Thus, the Vitality Shot is a good way to get the entire scope and daily needs and thus start a healthy start to the day. Especially people who do not suffer from a specific deficiency or are ill can rely on such mixtures. Because these have a supportive effect on the body and avoid that it can first come to a deficiency, for example, due to the wrong diet for a long time. But also stress or other things in life that cannot be influenced over weeks or months can quickly lead to a deficiency of various minerals and vitamins.
