Description
The vitamin B6
group comprises three natural forms: pyridoxine, pyridoxamine and
pyridoxal, which, during metabolism, are converted to the enzymatically active form
pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P). Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (here described as „vitamin B6
“) is a cofactor in more than a hundred enzyme reactions. One of its functions is to
perform transamination, a key step in both breaking down and producing amino
acids in the body. Vitamin B6
is also necessary for the synthesis of neurotransmitters,
as well as hemoglobin in red blood cells. And vitamin B6
plays a central role in fat
metabolism.
