Vitamin B6 Test

Support your metabolism and brain function – with a precise Vitamin B6 test.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) is an essential nutrient that plays a central role in amino acid metabolism, hemoglobin formation, and nerve function. It contributes to the formation of neurotransmitters, which are crucial for signal transmission in the brain, and supports the immune system. A deficiency in Vitamin B6 can therefore have far-reaching effects on your health.

Why is Vitamin B6 so important?

Vitamin B6 is involved in over 100 enzymatic reactions in the body. It supports the breakdown and conversion of proteins and helps in the production of messengers like serotonin and dopamine, which affect your mood, sleep, and memory. A deficiency can therefore lead to irritability, sleep disturbances, depressive moods, and concentration problems.

Risk groups for a Vitamin B6 deficiency

• People with an unbalanced diet or high alcohol consumption
• Individuals with chronic intestinal diseases such as Crohn's disease or celiac disease
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women who have an increased need
• Older people whose nutrient absorption capacity decreases

How does the Vitamin B6 test work?

• Targeted analysis: Determination of your Vitamin B6 level for an informed health assessment.
• Early detection: Identifies deficiencies that can affect metabolism, nerve function, and the immune system.
• Simple & reliable: Sampling conveniently from home with professional lab evaluation.

When should you check your Vitamin B6 levels?

If you frequently experience mood swings, sleep problems, numbness in hands or feet, or chronic fatigue, a Vitamin B6 deficiency could be the cause. Especially if you belong to one of the aforementioned risk groups, regular monitoring is advisable.
