Vitamin

Vitamin b6

Vitamin B6 is converted into pyridoxal 5-phosphate, an active coenzyme involved in more than 100 enzyme reactions. Many of these reactions process amino acids and neurotransmitter precursors.

It contributes to normal protein metabolism, nervous-system function, immune activity and red blood cell formation.

In everyday life, Vitamin B6 supports normal nervous-system function, protein use and red blood cell production for a more complete daily nutrition foundation.

Its nutritional contribution depends on the amount provided and overall dietary intake.

Ingredient overview

What it is

Vitamin B6 is converted into pyridoxal 5-phosphate, an active coenzyme involved in more than 100 enzyme reactions. Many of these reactions process amino acids and neurotransmitter precursors.

  • Scientific identity: Vitamin B6; vitamers: Pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine.
  • How it works: Absorbed in any of three forms: Pyridoxine, pyridoxal and pyridoxamine are all taken up and interconverted by the body. Phosphorylated to PLP: They are converted into pyridoxal 5-phosphate, the single active coenzyme form.
  • Primary function: It contributes to normal protein metabolism, nervous-system function, immune activity and red blood cell formation.
  • What it supports: Vitamin B6 supports normal nervous-system function, protein use and red blood cell production for a more complete daily nutrition foundation.
  • Important consideration: Its nutritional contribution depends on the amount provided and overall dietary intake.

Formulation rationale

Why we use it

CARPEDIEM selected Vitamin B6 for a clearly defined role within a thoughtfully balanced formulation.

  • Formulation purpose: It contributes to normal protein metabolism, nervous-system function, immune activity and red blood cell formation.
  • Used in: CARPEDIEM MultiTeen, CARPEDIEM MultiWomen and CARPEDIEM MultiMen.
  • Works alongside: Vitamin B6 complements Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2 and Vitamin B12 to support comprehensive daily nutritional support.
  • Meaningful contribution: Vitamin B6 supports normal nervous-system function, protein use and red blood cell production for a more complete daily nutrition foundation. Supports healthy nervous-system activity and neurotransmitter-related pathways.
  • Quality and scientific context: Its nutritional contribution depends on the amount provided and overall dietary intake. Research is shown only when an ingredient-specific study demonstrates a relevant benefit.
