Health Advantages Of Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is an important nutrient that should be included in the daily diet. Food contains three substances that have the properties of vitamin B6: pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine.  Although pyridoxine is considered to be the synonym of vitamin B6, all three substances are believed to have the same effect. Vitamin B6 is very effective in treating more than 100 health conditions.

Vitamin B6 is used to treat a wide range of psychological and physical disorders such as cardiovascular disease, depression, memory loss, and kidney stones. Pyridoxine plays a major role in preventing heart disease. Without adequate pyridoxine, homocysteine level increases and buildup the plaque to prevent the natural healing power of the human body. Vitamin B6 prevents the plaque buildup and thus it reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

In addition, vitamin B6 reduces blood cholesterol and blood pressure levels and prevents the blood platelets from sticking together. All these factors reduce the risk of heart diseases. People who are marginal deficient to vitamin B6 are more likely prone to carpal tunnel syndrome. This syndrome causes pain in the wrist after repetitive movements.

The deficiency of this vitamin also causes sensitivity to monosodium glutamate, a kind of flavor enhancer. This sensitivity leads to nausea, headaches, pain in the upper extremities, and vomiting. In both these syndromes, the vitamin D supply alleviates the symptoms only if the syndrome is in the first beginning stage. Pyridoxine along with magnesium prevents the production of kidney stones.  Normally, it takes three months to nourish the blood vessels with this nutrient after treatment.
