dsm-firmenich ESSENTIAL PRODUCTS

B group vitamins act as coenzymes on different metabolic pathways and, in many biochemical reactions multiple B-group vitamins are involved at the same time. Their presence is fundamental for the normal functioning of the organism.

Vitamin B6 (piridoxyne): essential for metabolism and central nervous system

Vitamin B6 serves as coenzyme in more than 100 enzymes catalysing biochemical reaction in the body. Like other B vitamins is essential for carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. Piridoxine is also pillar for the conversion of the aminoacid tryptophan into niacin as well as in the conversion of tryptophan into serotonine in the brain, an important neurotransmitter.
