Nutraceutical Profile

ImmunCR Id : ICR37
Chemical Name : Vitamin B6
Plant Source : Musa
Nutraceutical information : Edible, found in various foods, including cereals, fish, liver and other organ meats, potatoes and starchy vegetables, legumes, nuts, bananas, avocados, non-citrus fruits, egg yolk, whole grains.
Mode of administration : Oral, tablets
Immunomodulatory mechanism : Metabolism of sphingosine phosphate(transformation of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)), tryptophan catabolism(PLP is a cofactor of enzymes in the kynurenine pathway), action of the transcription factor NF-κb; reducing inflammation in the body by influencing the activity of inflammasomes and specifically its component, the NLRP3 sensory protein; blood pressure regulation (influence on the renin-angiotensin system) and blood clotting, ensuring endothelial integrity and platelet aggregation; regulation of the enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 (SHMT2), which is involved in the metabolism of folate; Diabetes(type 2); B6 treatment increases cardiac levels of imidazole dipeptides (e.g., carnosine, anserine, and homocarnosine), histamine, and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and suppresses P2X7 receptor-mediated NLRP3 infammasome
Description : A water soluble vitamin acting as a coenzyme in 140 enzymes by converting to pyridoxal 5-phosphate, also known as pyridoxine.
