1. WHAT IS VITAMIN B6  AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is involved in the formation and metabolism of biologically active substances in the body. Together with other vitamins of this group, it helps convert carbohydrates into glucose, the main source of energy for the body. Vitamin B6 is necessary for the normal development and functioning of the nervous system and liver, for the formation of red blood cells (erythrocytes) and cells of the immune system. It belongs to the so-called "anti-stress" vitamins, as it stimulates the immune system. It is necessary for maintaining muscle tone of the gastrointestinal tract, for the normal functioning of the skin and eyes.

It is used to treat vitamin B6 deficiency in:
impaired absorption of the vitamin by the body (malabsorption syndrome) associated with liver and bile diseases (biliary obstruction, cirrhosis, alcoholism), intestinal disease (Crohn's disease), gluten intolerance (celiac disease);
treatment with products that disrupt vitamin B6 metabolism.
Vitamin B6 Sopharma is used in the complex treatment of acute poisoning with isoniazid (a drug for the treatment of tuberculosis).
