B6 is closely related to brain health.

A deficiency in vitamin B6 can affect the production of neurotransmitters, leading to mood problems, addictive tendencies, and impaired neurocommunication.
Gut microbiota also produce vitamin B6 ; antibiotics can destroy these bacteria, leading to a deficiency.
Autistic patients who also lack vitamin B6 and gut microbiota may experience more severe symptoms.

Best food sources of B6

Beef, pork, chicken, fish
Plant-based sources (such as legumes and grains) have low absorption rates.
Eggs and dairy products are not the best source of nutrition.

It is recommended to supplement with active B6 ( P5P ) for higher absorption.

Reasons for lack: You may be doing this every day

Excessive consumption of processed foods
Long-term use of diuretics and antihypertensive drugs
Antibiotics (especially for treating tuberculosis)
birth control pills
Drinking alcohol (especially during pregnancy or breastfeeding).
Smoking
Exposure to herbicides (such as Glyphosate in genetically modified foods ).
Overdose of Ginkgo biloba

In conclusion: B6 is more than just a vitamin; it's your body's "neuroengineer."

Hong Kong people lead busy lives with refined diets, coupled with high stress and little sleep. Vitamin B6 deficiency may be the root cause of minor health problems . Starting tonight, a plate of steak, a serving of fish, and a P5P tablet will help strengthen your nervous and immune system!

Don't wait until you have an emotional breakdown or cracked skin to realize you're deficient in B6 . Prevention is the key to true health!
