Vitamin B6 Hevert ampoules, 10x2 ml

Vitamin B6 - importance for the human body

Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, plays a crucial role in the metabolism of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.A deficiency of vitamin B6 can lead to an insufficient supply of protein for cell reproduction.Blood and nerve cells are particularly sensitive to a vitamin B6 deficiency.

The causes of undersupply can be an unbalanced diet, high alcohol consumption and certain medications.In women, the contraceptive pill can increase the need for vitamin B6.High blood pressure medications and other medicines can also increase the need.

Warning signs of a deficiency include inflammatory skin changes in the nose, eyes and mouth area, nervousness, irritability and nerve disorders such as numbness in the arms and legs.

Vitamin B6 Hevert helps to prevent or correct a deficiency, especially if there is an increased need for vitamin B6 or a pyridoxine-dependent metabolic disorder.It provides the necessary cell building blocks, activates the metabolism, replenishes energy stores and strengthens the blood formation system, the nervous system and the immune system.Vitamin B6 thereby promotes the healthy development and regeneration of the body.

Vitamin B6 is also involved in the production of antibodies for an intact immune system and the formation of red blood cells and blood pigment.In the nervous system, it improves signaling through messenger substances and helps reduce high levels of homocysteine, which can reduce the risk of vascular diseases.

Vitamin B6 Hevert is a high-dose vitamin preparation that reliably helps with diseases caused by vitamin B6 deficiency.

A deficiency of vitamin B6 can manifest itself through various symptoms, including insomnia, nervous disorders, increased irritability, depressive states, disturbances in the sensations on the skin, inflammation of the nerves, states of confusion and an increase in homocysteine in the blood, which can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Vitamin B6 is primarily needed in protein metabolism.Important messenger substances for the brain, such as serotonin, dopamine and gamma-aminobutyric acid, are also formed via this pathway.
