Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble B vitamin normally found in liver, egg yolk, pulses, sunflower seeds, brewer's yeast and some fish. Vitamin B6 is rapidly converted in the body to its preferred, biologically active form of pyridoxal-5-phosphate. Vitamin B6 is produced by the micro-organisms in the human intestinal tract, but little of this is absorbed or utilised.
