Vitamin B6 Hevert ampoules, 100x2 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 mean that there is not enough protein available for cell reproduction.Blood and nerve cells are particularly dependent on this vitamin and react sensitively to a deficiency.

The causes of a deficiency in vitamin B6 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 for vitamin B6.

Warning signs of a vitamin B6 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 ampoules help to prevent or eliminate a deficiency condition when there is an increased need for vitamin B6 or a pyridoxine-dependent metabolic disorder.Sufficient vitamin B6 ensures that the necessary cell building blocks are provided, the metabolism is activated, energy stores are replenished and blood formation, the nervous and immune systems are strengthened.Vitamin B6 thereby promotes the healthy development and regeneration of the body.

Vitamin B6 controls the specialization and division of cells through its involvement in protein metabolism.It stimulates the production of antibodies for an intact immune system and promotes the formation of red blood cells and blood pigment.In the nervous system, vitamin B6 improves signal transmission through messenger substances.It helps reduce high homocysteine levels, thereby reducing a possible risk of vascular disease.
