Windmill Vitamina B6 100 mg, 100 Comprimidos

What is Vitamin B6 and why is it important?

Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in numerous bodily functions. This inactive form is converted in the liver to its active form, pyridoxal phosphate, which participates in over 100 enzymatic reactions. At Windmill, we offer 100 mg of Vitamin B6 per tablet to meet daily needs and support energy metabolism, the nervous system, and red blood cell formation.

EFSA-backed benefits

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

• Contributes to normal energy metabolism.
• Contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Contributes to normal red blood cell formation.
• Contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

These claims are scientifically supported and ensure that adequate intake of Vitamin B6 promotes essential health processes.

Who is it recommended for?

This supplement is indicated for adults seeking an extra supply of Vitamin B6, especially those with restrictive diets, high stress levels, or who wish to support their daily energy. It is also suitable for athletes who need efficient metabolism and for older people who may have reduced absorption. It is always advisable to consult a health professional before starting any supplementation.

Recommended dosage and how to take it

The suggested dose is one tablet daily, preferably with a meal to facilitate absorption. Each tablet provides 100 mg of Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCl), a significantly higher amount than the recommended daily intake, so this dose should not be exceeded without medical supervision. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.

Possible side effects and contraindications

In general, Vitamin B6 is safe when consumed within recommended limits. Very high doses (above 200 mg/day for long periods) can cause peripheral neuropathy, so it is important not to exceed the indicated dose. This product should not be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women without consulting a doctor. If you experience any adverse effects, discontinue use and consult a professional.
