B6 — vegansk

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin, which is very fragile. Heating, preservation, freezing and exposure to light will destroy the vitamin. Grinding of grains removes approximately 90% of the vitamin B6 in the grain. It is therefore easy to be deficit in vitamin B6 if you don’t eat a healthy and balanced diet.

Vitamin B6 is extremely important for the conversion of protein, but also carbohydrates and fat, and the body uses large amounts of vitamin B6 to convert the proteins into energy. If you are eating a very high protein diet, then your body will need more vitamin B6.

Vitamin B6 contributes to the following:

• Maintenance of the nervous system
• Maintenance of normal psychological function
• Regulation of hormone activity 
• Maintenance of the immune system 
• Formation of new red blood cells 
• Metabolism of protein, glycogen, homocysteine 
• Normal energy metabolism 
• Decreases fatigue and exhaustion

As with all B vitamins, they work best together and as a complex of all 8. We the recommend that you take them together or eat a healthy and balanced diet with many natural sources of vitamin B’s.
