Measures

Vitamin B6 in blood.

Why it matters

B6 is involved in protein metabolism, neurotransmitter production and haemoglobin formation.

Worth knowing: B6 is one of the few water-soluble vitamins where sustained high supplemental intake is associated with adverse effects. That makes measuring it more relevant for people taking high doses than for most other B vitamins.

Before you collect

Note supplement dose — B6 appears in many B-complex and magnesium products, often at high doses.

Suits

People supplementing B6, particularly at higher doses, working with a practitioner.
