Now the big reason why I wanted to do a video on vitamin B6 women is because 32% of all

women have a vitamin B6 deficiency.

So I think it's kind of important to mention it, increase awareness, and exactly what happens

when you're deficient.

Now vitamin B6 is involved in over 140 different enzyme chemical reactions.

There's three main things that it does.

Number one, it's involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism, and that's quite

extensive.

There are two, it's involved in the red blood cell.

And number three, it's essential for making neurotransmitters.

And neurotransmitters are those communications that travel through the nervous system.

They're hormone-like, but hormones travel through the blood, neurotransmitters travel through

the nervous system.

And vitamin B6 also acts as an antioxidant, and it can help you as an anti-inflammatory.

I think of B6 as that vitamin that is a helper compound that just allows other chemical

reactions to work.

more vitamin B6 because vitamin B6 is involved in so many different chemical reactions.

Now we normally have hundreds of different microbes that are gut that make the B vitamins.
