Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Active Vitamin B6 Supplementation: Used in tablet and capsule formulations to treat or prevent Vitamin B6 deficiency. It provides the bioavailable coenzyme form directly without requiring liver conversion. Recommended for patients with malabsorption or liver disorders who cannot metabolize pyridoxine.
  • Treatment of Metabolic and Neurological Disorders: Indicated in genetic metabolic conditions like homocystinuria, epilepsy, and sideroblastic anemia. Supports neurotransmitter production (dopamine, serotonin, GABA) for brain function. Frequently included in complex therapies for seizures and peripheral neuropathy.
  • Parenteral and Clinical Nutrition: Incorporated into intravenous nutrition and specialized feeding regimens in hospitals. Used for post-surgical recovery, chronic illness, or conditions requiring nutrient infusion. Ensures rapid correction of B6 deficiency and promotes metabolic balance in critical care.

2. Animal Healthcare

  • Feed Additive for Livestock and Poultry: Supplemented in animal feeds to promote healthy growth and immune development. Especially important in poultry, pigs, and fish to avoid vitamin deficiency–related issues. Improves protein absorption, reduces stress-related inflammation, and enhances reproduction.

3. Personal Care

  • Skin and Hair Health Support: Used in skincare products due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Aids in treating seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, and acne by regulating sebum production. Included in anti-aging serums and scalp treatments for improved skin metabolism.

4. Food & Healthcare Ingredients 

  • Vitamin-Enriched Food Products: Added to cereals, baby foods, and energy drinks as a stable form of Vitamin B6. Helps support cognitive development and metabolic balance in functional foods. Used globally in food fortification programs to prevent nutritional deficiencies.
