Pyridoxine
(Vitamin B-6)
VITAMIN B6 -
Pyridoxine Supports
the growth of red blood cells that are important for healthy hair, scalp,
and nail maintenance. Helps prevent dandruff. May aid in preventing hair
loss.
Pyridoxine was discovered in the 1930s as the result of a series of
nutritional investigations of rats fed vitamin-free diets. The original
compound that was isolated is pyridoxine, named due to its structural
similarity with pyridine, but possessing an additional hydroxymethyl group
in the para position. In the body, however, the parahydroxymethyl moietyis
oxidized to an aldehyde and the similar group in the meta position is
phosphorylated, resulting in the biologically active pyridoxal phosphate.
This coenzyme is remarkably versatile, being involved in transaminations,
decarboxylations, racemizations, and numerous modifications of amino acid
side chains. Clinically, pyridoxine helps normal function of the brain,
promotes blood cell formation, maintains the chemical balance among body
fluids, and assists in carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism. Common
sources of pyridoxine include bananas, carrots, nuts, rice, fish,
soybeans, and wheat germ. Symptoms of pyridoxine deficiency are very
non-specific and hard to reproduce.
