What is Vitamin B6?
Vitamin B6 is an important water-soluble B vitamin. It exists in the body in the forms of pyridoxine (PN), pyridoxal (PL), pyridoxamine (PM), pyridoxine phosphate (PNP), pyridoxal phosphate (PLP), and pyridoxamine phosphate (PMP), participating in key biochemical processes such as amino acid metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis. Vitamin B6 is widely found in meat (fish and poultry), whole grains, vegetables, and nuts. It is an essential micronutrient for maintaining healthy growth and normal physiological functions, possessing anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuromodulatory, and anti-tumor functions. It is crucial for maintaining a healthy nervous system, healthy skin, and immune function.
Applications
Vitamin B6 is essential for maintaining normal growth, development, and cellular metabolism. Pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) is the biologically active form of vitamin B6 and participates in more than 140 biochemical reactions in cells as a coenzyme factor, including key metabolic reactions such as the synthesis, interconversion, and degradation of amino acids, the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, and the synthesis of heme.
Vitamin B6 contains hydroxyl and amino groups on its pyridine ring, allowing it to react directly with reactive oxygen species (ROS) free radicals, thus making it a potent antioxidant. Furthermore, vitamin B6 participates in the production of various bioactive substances. Taurine and hydrogen sulfide, both derived from sulfur-containing amino acids, require vitamin B6-dependent enzymes for their synthesis.

Package & Storage
Our packing method is 1KG/Aluminium bags, 25kg/drum
For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
