Vitamin B6, 250 mg, 100 Vegetarian Capsules, Life Extension

Life Extension Vitamin B6 — 250mg of Vitamin B6 as pyridoxine HCl per vegetarian capsule (14,706% DV), supporting cardiovascular health, neurological function, neurotransmitter production, and healthy homocysteine levels. Gluten-free. Non-GMO. LE Certified. 100 vegetarian capsules.

Why

Vitamin B6 is involved in over 160 enzyme-driven reactions in the body — from energy metabolism and neurotransmitter production to cardiovascular health and immune function. Yet the body cannot synthesise it and must obtain it from diet or supplementation. While B6 is found in foods like eggs, chicken, fish, and whole grains, many people still fall short — particularly those with poor diet quality, older adults, or those with increased requirements. B6 is a critical cofactor for the synthesis of serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and norepinephrine, and plays a key role in homocysteine metabolism — elevated homocysteine is associated with cardiovascular risk. Life Extension delivers 250mg as pyridoxine HCl, a highly bioavailable and well-studied form. Note: 250mg is a high therapeutic dose — do not exceed the recommended dose and consult a healthcare professional before use.

Formula Highlights

• Vitamin B6 250mg (as pyridoxine HCl, 14,706% DV) — a water-soluble B vitamin that serves as a cofactor for over 160 enzyme-driven reactions; pyridoxine HCl is converted in the body to pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP), the active coenzyme form; PLP is essential for amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis (serotonin, dopamine, GABA, norepinephrine), glycogen metabolism, and immune function; plays a critical role in homocysteine metabolism — converting homocysteine to cysteine via the transsulfuration pathway, helping maintain healthy homocysteine levels; pyridoxine HCl is a highly bioavailable, stable, and well-studied form of B6
