Pyridoxine 50
Pyridoxine is a water-soluble B vitamin typically found in plant products including bananas, navy beans and walnuts. In the body, pyridoxine is found primarily in the liver and muscles. Pyridoxine is utilized by the liver to synthesize pyridoxal phosphate (PLP), the active coenzyme form. PLP functions as transamination and decarboxylation coenzymes, which are involved in amino acid and protein metabolism. PLP is also involved as a coenzyme in the synthesis of heme, niacin and serotonin. Alcohol impairs vitamin B6 metabolism in the body.
