Vitamin B6Updated 2 days ago

Why does Vitals⁺ include Vitamin B6?

Vitamin B6 is a key nutrient for brain and nervous system function, energy production, and immune health. Despite its importance, many people don’t get enough—especially older adults or those on certain medications or plant-based diets.

Vitals⁺ includes 20mg of Vitamin B6, in the active form pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP)—that’s 1430% of your NRV, a carefully chosen dose that reflects modern research on what the body needs to function optimally, not just avoid deficiency.

🤔 What does Vitamin B6 actually do?

Vitamin B6 is incredibly versatile. It:

• Supports normal psychological function and brain signalling

• Contributes to normal functioning of the immune and nervous systems

• Helps form red blood cells by supporting haemoglobin production (in tandem with iron)

It’s also needed for over 140 enzyme reactions in the body, involved in everything from neurotransmitter production to regulating inflammation and hormone activity .

🤔 Why that form?

We use PLP, the active coenzyme form your body naturally converts other B6 types into. This means it’s highly bioavailable and ready for your cells to use—ideal for efficient support, especially when you need it most.
