What is vitamin B6?

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that belongs to the vitamin B complex. The body needs this vitamin for various processes, including protein metabolism, energy metabolism and nervous system function. Vitamin B6 occurs naturally in foods such as meat, fish, potatoes, bananas and wholegrain products.

Vitamin B6 is a collective term for several compounds that can be converted in the body into the biologically active form, pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (P-5-P). This active form functions as a coenzyme and is involved in more than 100 enzymatic reactions in the body.

Different forms of vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is available in several forms. In supplements, the most common forms are pyridoxine hydrochloride and pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (P-5-P).

Pyridoxine hydrochloride is a widely used form of vitamin B6 that the body first needs to convert into the active form.
Pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (P-5-P) is the biologically active form that can be used directly as a coenzyme.
