Pyridoxine (PN) [4] is a form of vitamin B 6 found commonly in food and used as a dietary supplement.As a supplement it is used to treat and prevent pyridoxine deficiency, sideroblastic anaemia, pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy, certain metabolic disorders, side effects or complications of isoniazid use, and certain types of mushroom poisoning.

Pyridoxal phosphate has numerous roles in human body. A few examples below: Metabolism and biosynthesis of serotonin. Pyridoxal phosphate is a cofactor of aromatic L-amino acids decarboxylase. This allows for conversion of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) into serotonin (5-HT). This reaction takes place in serotonergic neurons.
Pyridoxine 5′-phosphate oxidase is an enzyme, encoded by the PNPO gene, [1] [2] [3] that catalyzes several reactions in the vitamin B 6 metabolism pathway. Pyridoxine 5′-phosphate oxidase catalyzes the final, rate-limiting step in vitamin B 6 metabolism, the biosynthesis of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate, the biologically active form of vitamin B 6 which acts as an essential cofactor.

Parts-per-million cube of relative abundance by mass of elements in an average adult human body down to 1 ppm. About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium ...
The following year, Frederick Hopkins postulated that some foods contained "accessory factors" – in addition to proteins, carbohydrates, fats etc. – that are necessary for the functions of the human body. [24] Jack Drummond's single-paragraph article in 1920 which provided structure and nomenclature used today for vitamins
Pyridoxal (PL) [3] is one form of vitamin B 6.. Some medically relevant bacteria, such as those in the genera Granulicatella and Abiotrophia, require pyridoxal for growth.This nutritional requirement can lead to the culture phenomenon of satellite growth.
Hydroxocobalamin, or another form of vitamin B 12, are required for the body to make DNA. [7] Hydroxocobalamin was first isolated in 1949. [9] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. [10] Hydroxocobalamin is available as a generic medication. [2] Commercially it is made using one of a number of types of bacteria. [11]
