Maxi Health Vitamina B6 100 mg – 100 Comprimidos – Clorhidrato de Piridoxina

What is Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl)?

Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for numerous bodily functions. In this supplement, it is presented as pyridoxine HCl, a stable and bioavailable form. Vitamin B6 is key in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, and plays a fundamental role in the production of neurotransmitters that regulate mood and sleep. Each tablet provides 100 mg of vitamin B6, a high dose intended for those seeking concentrated support. Maxi Health has formulated this product with high-quality ingredients, free from artificial additives, and suitable for vegan diets.

Benefits supported by EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved several health claims for vitamin B6. These include:

• Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
• Contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Contributes to normal red blood cell formation.
• Contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism.
• Helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.

These properties make vitamin B6 a valuable nutrient for maintaining daily vitality and body balance. It is important to note that food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.

Who is it recommended for?

This supplement is aimed at adults who wish to reinforce their vitamin B6 intake, especially those with restrictive diets, higher requirements, or signs of fatigue. Active individuals, vegetarians, or vegans can benefit, as B6 participates in protein synthesis and energy production. It is also useful for those seeking support for the nervous system during times of stress. However, consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation.

Recommended dosage and how to take it

The indicated dose is one tablet daily, preferably in the morning with a meal. The tablets are easy to swallow and easily integrated into the daily routine. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless directed by a doctor. Remember that vitamin B6 is water-soluble, so excess is eliminated through urine, but very high doses for prolonged periods can be harmful.

Possible side effects and contraindications

In general, vitamin B6 is safe at recommended doses. However, doses above 200 mg per day for months can cause peripheral neuropathy (tingling in hands and feet). If you experience unusual symptoms, discontinue use and consult a doctor. This product is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women without medical supervision. Keep out of reach of children.
