INGREDIENT

Vitamin B6

An essential vitamin for the proper functioning of the nervous system.

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble B vitamin that plays a central role in amino acid metabolism and in processes essential for the nervous system.

The importance of Vitamin B6

In the body, vitamin B6 is functionally active as pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P-5-P).

In our AM sprays, we use vitamin B6 in this functional form, as the body can effectively utilise it at the cellular level.

Vitamin B6 functions in synergy with Folate and Vitamin B12. By combining these vitamins in their active forms, the formula aligns with the way the body naturally coordinates these metabolic processes.

More about Vitamin B6

  • Vitamin B6 is involved in more than 100 enzymatic processes and:

    • contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system
    • supports the metabolism of proteins and amino acids
    • plays a role in the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine
    • contributes to the formation of red blood cells


    These functions are recognised by EFSA and supported by medical literature.

  • Vitamin B6 plays a key role in protein metabolism and nervous system function. The body’s need for vitamin B6 may increase with higher protein intake, prolonged mental strain, or intensive physical activity.

    In addition, the effective availability of vitamin B6 from food can be reduced by processing and heating. In modern dietary patterns, where highly processed foods are more common, vitamin B6 is therefore considered a nutrient of attention within daily micronutrient intake.

  • Vitamin B6 naturally occurs in:

    • whole grains
    • potatoes
    • legumes
    • bananas
    • nuts and seeds
    • meat and fish


    However, levels may decrease through refining and heating. Effective availability can also vary depending on food processing and preparation methods.

  • With a varied diet, intake can be sufficient. However, vitamin B6 deficiencies occur regularly, due in part to:

    • lower consumption of whole grains
    • highly processed foods
    • reduced overall energy intake


    Symptoms of vitamin B6 deficiency may include cracked lips or mouth corners, an inflamed tongue, irritability, sleep disturbances, low mood, dizziness and headaches.

  • Vitamin B6 is involved in processes that are important for the development of the nervous system in children.

    Adequate intake supports normal growth and development.

  • Vitamin B6 is water-soluble, and excess amounts are usually excreted in the urine.

    With longterm intake of high doses, nerve-related symptoms such as numbness or tingling may occur.
