Description

Vitamin B6 CAS NO 8059-24-3 is a vital water-soluble vitamin, primarily existing as pyridoxine hydrochloride, that serves as an essential cofactor in numerous enzymatic reactions within the human body. Its significance lies in its critical role in amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and hemoglobin formation, making it indispensable for maintaining metabolic and neurological health. This high-purity compound is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food & beverage fortification industries, where it is used to formulate dietary supplements, clinical nutrition products, and enriched foods.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in prescription and over-the-counter medications for treating deficiencies and certain neurological conditions.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A core ingredient in multivitamin complexes, B-complex supplements, and standalone vitamin B6 capsules and tablets.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Added to breakfast cereals, nutritional bars, infant formula, and sports drinks to enhance nutritional value and meet daily intake requirements.
• Clinical & Enteral Nutrition: Incorporated into parenteral (IV) nutrition solutions and medical foods for patients with specific metabolic needs or malabsorption issues.
• Animal Feed & Pet Nutrition: Employed as a vitamin premix in feed for livestock, poultry, and pets to support growth, metabolism, and overall health.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Utilized in certain skincare formulations for its potential role in maintaining skin health and barrier function.
