Description
Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, has a rich history in the field of nutrition and biochemistry. Identified in the 1930s, it's one of the essential vitamins required for the proper functioning of the human body. The active form of Vitamin B6, Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate (P5P), plays a crucial role in various biological functions including protein metabolism, cell formation, and brain function. The human body can convert Vitamin B6 into P5P, but this process can be hindered due to factors like aging and certain health conditions, prompting the direct supplementation of P5P for those who need it. Dietary sources of Vitamin B6 include whole grains, beans, fruits, and meat.
