Biochem/physiol Actions

Vitamin B₆ plays a key role in metabolism of both carbohydrates and amino acids. It is implicated in the synthesis of neurotransmitters like dopamine from L-DOPA, serotonin from 5-HTP, and γaminobutyric acid (GABA) from glutamate. Vitamin B₆ plays a major role in maintenance of a healthy nervous system.
