Now Foods B-6 100mg 100 vcaps

NOW Vitamin B6-100mg improves liver function and boosts immunity.

Vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine) is involved in many of the biochemical reactions necessary to sustain life. The biological properties of pyridoxine are provided by pyridoxal-5-phosphate, which is formed in the body with the participation of the enzyme pyridoxalkinase. Milling and refining strips whole grains of almost all of their pyridoxine content. Vitamin B 6 cannot be dispensed with in the production of prostaglandins - hormone-like substances whose functions in the body include dilating blood vessels and opening bronchial passages. Imbalance of prostaglandins can lead to tissue damage, inflammation, schizophrenia, and even cancer. The source of Vitamin B-6 is meat, liver, kidneys, heart, poultry, fish, green leafy vegetables, root vegetables, whole grains, buckwheat and millet, rice, legumes, milk, eggs.

Functional action of Vitamin B6-100 mg

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) regulates protein metabolism. This is due to its participation in the transport of amino acids through cell membranes.

Pyridoxine increases the content of creatinine in the striated muscles, which plays an important role in the process of muscle contraction.

It takes part in fat and lipid metabolism, improves the absorption of unsaturated fatty acids. With a deficiency of vitamin B6, the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, one of the enzymes for the direct oxidation of glucose in the pentose-phosphate cycle, decreases. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate is part of the phosphorylase that regulates the breakdown of glycogen.

Significantly affects blood formation and immunity. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) synthesizes erythropoiesis, leukopoiesis and hemoglobin biosynthesis; activates cellular factors of nonspecific immunological reactivity of the organism.

Helps stabilize blood sugar, encourages cells to metabolize blood glucose, and counters eye damage and vision loss due to diabetic retinopathy. Regular use of vitamin B6 reduces levels of xanthurenic acid, a dangerous chemical by-product of vitamin B6 deficiency that can cause diabetes.

It is able to remove from the body the risk factor for heart disease - homocysteine ​​- an amino acid, the increased content of which in the blood leads to strokes and myocardial infarctions. In the absence of vitamin b6, the blood becomes thicker and more prone to form clots that clog arteries. In addition, pyridoxine acts as a diuretic, helping to reduce water retention in the body and, as a result, lower blood pressure.

Pyridoxine improves an indicator of our immune system functioning - the number of T-cells.

Plays a central role in maintaining the balance of female hormones. By helping to convert estradiol, a form of estrogen, into estriol, which is its least harmful and least carcinogenic form, vitamin B6 counteracts one of the causes of cancer in women. It should be an integral part of the treatment program for uterine fibroids, endometriosis or fibrocystic mastopathy. As a natural diuretic, pyridoxine brings welcome relief from premenstrual tension.

In combination with magnesium orthophosphate, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) minimizes the formation of calcium oxalate, the main component of most kidney stones.

Promotes the production of norepinephrine and serotonin, neurochemicals responsible for feelings of well-being and good mood.
