Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine) is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for the proper maintenance of red blood cell metabolism, the nervous system, the immune system, and many other bodily functions.

A long-term deficiency in vitamin B6 can lead to skin inflammation (dermatitis) depression, confusion, convulsions, and even anemia. Recent studies also suggest that a diet low in vitamin B6 increases the risk of heart disease.

Conversely, too much vitamin B6 taken from supplements can lead to nerve damage in the arms and legs.

Foods high in vitamin B6 include fish, chicken, tofu, pork, beef, sweet potatoes, banans, potatoes, avocados, and pistachios. The daily value (% DV) for vitamin B6 is 1.7mg per day.
