Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that can be found in a lot of different foods, is added to others, and is also available as a dietary supplement. Your body can't produce vitamin B6 on its own, so you have to get it from food or supplements.

Your body needs vitamin B6 for metabolizing sugars, fats, and proteins. It's also necessary for proper growth and development of the brain, nerves, and skin. It helps fight off infections, turn food into energy, and transport oxygen through your bloodstream throughout your body.

A vitamin B6 deficiency tends to occur more often in people with liver, kidney, digestive, or autoimmune diseases, as well as smokers, obese people, alcoholics, and pregnant women.

Vitamin B6 deficiencies are rare in developed countries, but when A deficiency does occur, symptoms could include the following.

* Cracked and sore lips.

* Damage to blood vessels and nerves.

* Frequent fatigue and feelings of lethargy.

* Mood changes like irritability, anxiety and depression.

* Seizures.

* Skin Rashes.

* Sore, glossy tongue.

* Tingling and pain in the hands and feet.

* Weakened immune function.

In recent years, researchers have found that Vitamin B6 has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This means it could help prevent chronic conditions like heart disease and cancer.
