21st Century B6 100 mg Tabletas, 110 Tabletas (Paquete de 3)

What is Vitamin B6 and why is it important?

Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the proper functioning of the body. It plays a key role in more than 100 enzymatic reactions, mainly related to the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Being water-soluble, the body does not store it in large quantities, so a regular intake through diet or supplementation is necessary.

This 21st Century supplement offers 100 mg of vitamin B6 per tablet, a dose that helps meet daily needs and supports various bodily functions. The pack includes three bottles of 110 tablets each, providing a total of 330 doses.

Benefits of Vitamin B6 backed by the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has evaluated and 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.
• Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Helps to regulate hormonal activity.

These benefits make vitamin B6 a valuable nutrient for people looking to maintain their vitality and general well-being. It should be remembered that food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.

Who is this supplement recommended for?

21st Century Vitamin B6 tablets are indicated for adults who wish to supplement their daily intake, especially in cases of:

• Diets with low vitamin B6 intake (e.g., restrictive or poorly planned vegetarian/vegan diets).
• Increased needs due to stress, intense exercise, or pregnancy (always under medical supervision).
• Older adults, as nutrient absorption may decrease with age.
• Those looking to support their energy levels and nerve function.

As always, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between pyridoxine and pyridoxal phosphate? Pyridoxine is the most common form in supplements and must be converted to its active form (pyridoxal phosphate) in the liver. Most people can perform this conversion without problems.

Can I take this supplement with other B vitamins? Yes, vitamin B6 acts synergistically with other B vitamins and is often included in B complexes. However, it is not necessary to combine if your individual dose is sufficient.

How long does it take for the effect to be noticed? The effects can vary depending on the person and their nutritional status. Some people may experience an improvement in energy levels within a few weeks.

Is this product suitable for vegans? The tablets do not contain animal-derived ingredients, but it is not specified whether the capsule is vegan. It is recommended to check the product label.

Remember: food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle.
