Description
Vitamin B6 testing identifies the level of vitamin B6 levels in the body, an essential nutrient involved in numerous physiological functions. Vitamin B6 plays a key role in metabolism, supporting brain function, nerve health, immune system regulation, and the production of red blood cells. Deficiencies in B6 can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, depression, muscle weakness, and skin rashes. This test helps identify imbalances and deficiencies, offering insight into potential underlying health issues. Additionally, the test can aid in monitoring conditions such as anaemia, peripheral neuropathy, and certain metabolic disorders. By understanding Vitamin B6 status, individuals can take proactive steps to address deficiencies, improve overall well-being, and support vital bodily functions. This test is particularly valuable for those experiencing unexplained fatigue, mood swings, or neurological symptoms, or for individuals with dietary restrictions that may impact nutrient absorption.
