Manufacturer: Life Extension Vitamin B6, or pyridoxine, is an important component of the coenzyme PLP, which metabolizes amino acids.212 Because of its amino acid transfer ability, the body can produce nonessential amino acids from available amino groups, as well as metabolize protein and urea. Vitamin B6 is essential because of its participation in more than 100 enzymatic reactions, including protein metabolism, conversion of tryptophan to niacin, and neurotransmitter function, among others.213 Found in foods such as eggs, brewer's yeast, carrots, chicken, fish, brown rice, whole grains, and cabbage,214 vitamin B6 along with B12 and folic acid, plays a beneficial role in maintaining healthy homocysteine levels.215-218* Supplement Facts Serving Size 1 capsule | Servings Per Container 100 | Amount Per Serving | Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCI) | 250 mg | Other ingredients: rice flour, flour gelatin, magnesium stearate. | Contains rice.
