Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin essential for over 100 enzymatic reactions in the human body. It exists in six chemically related forms, with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) being the primary active coenzyme form. Because the human body cannot synthesize Vitamin B6, it must be obtained through diet—found in poultry, fish, chickpeas, and bananas—or supplementation. It is a cornerstone of metabolic health and neurological function.
