Benefits of B6
Vitamin B6 helps to create neurotransmitters, which are important chemical messengers in the brain. It also helps regulate energy use in the brain.
Taking pyridoxine may help with mild symptoms of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, compared with a placebo.
It also reports that taking a combination of pyridoxine and doxylamine could help with moderate symptoms.
Likewise, It helps to protect people against the harmful effects of air pollution by reducing the impact of pollution on the epigenome.
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)
Just like the other B vitamins, it is important for metabolism. It also helps form red blood cells and maintain the central nervous system.
Vitamin B12 can be found in foods such as meat, fish, and dairy products. Although It can also be made in a laboratory. It is often taken in combination with other B vitamins.
Vitamin B12 is found only in animal products and certain foods fortified with the vitamin, therefore, vegans and strict vegetarians are at risk of deficiency. Also, good sources include meat, liver, kidney, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products and fortified breakfast cereals.
