This nutrient is required for red blood cell formation, and for the maintenance of proper sodium / potassium balance in the body. Vitamin B₆ is necessary for the production of hydrochloric acid and for the assimilation of fats and proteins. It also inhibits the formation of homocysteine, a toxic chemical that causes heart disease.
