Why are supplements beneficial?
Supplementation with pyridoxine is important, as even slight deficiency of vitamin B-6 is connected to increase in homocysteine blood levels and depression. Increased levels of homocysteine can promote the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Research has also pointed to the benefits of higher blood levels of vitamin B6 which is thought to significantly lower the risk of heart disease.
Vitamin supplementation is prescribed and advised for the following conditions:
- Women undergoing bouts of depression while taking contraceptive pills.
- Women suffering from PMS symptoms such as mood swings, fatigue, fluid retention, and irritability.
- Individuals suffering from pain, numbness, and weakness of the hands and fingers due to carpal tunnel syndrome.
