Vitamin B-6 or pyridoxine, is a member of the water-soluble family of vitamins. Your body needs vitamin B-6 for regular nervous system function, production of normal red blood cells and for protein metabolism.
Some people suffer from a deficiency, which can lead to a variety of health problems:
- Vitamin B6 deficiency can lead to nerve damage in the hands and feet.
- Cervical dysplasia has been linked to a low intake of several B vitamins including pyridoxine,
- Hyperthyroidism and congestive heart failure may experience deficiencies more often.
- Possibly suffer from inflammation of the skin,
- Cognitive problems and eventually convulsions.
- Because it's needed for normal red blood cells, a deficiency could also cause anemia.
People who eat nutrient-poor diets or consume lots of alcohol may have low levels of vitamin B-6 in their blood, which may indicate a possible insufficiency. Older adults whose diets have little variety for long periods of time may become deficient in vitamin B-6. Alcohol speeds up the loss of vitamin B-6 in the body, so alcoholics may be more prone to vitamin B-6 deficiency symptoms.
Why is vitamin B6 necessary?
Vitamin B6 helps in the production of neurotransmitters, the chemicals that allow brain and nerve cells to communicate with one another, ensuring that metabolic processes such as fat and protein metabolism run smoothly, and is important for immune system function in older individuals. It can also help address a number of conditions, including nerve compression injuries (like carpal tunnel syndrome), premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and some cases of depression and arthritis. It is often used to treat high homocysteine levels along with folic acid and vitamin B12. Memory loss, diabetes, asthma attacks, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), kidney stones, lung cancer, acne and atherosclerosis may also be treated and improved via vitamin B6 supplementation.
