Description
B6 is essential for the metabolism of fats, particularly the essential fatty acids, antibody production, DNA and RNA activity, glycogen conversion to glucose and red blood cell formation. B6 also plays a major role in protein, hormone and neurotransmitter production. Because B6 also is needed for the complete metabolism of many of the amino acids the requirements for B6 may increase when consuming a diet high in protein. B6 aids in the release of excess fluids in the tissues of the body.
