the Vitamin B6, you will enjoy all the benefits
which this vitamin has to offer the human body
in terms of performing vital functions such as:

Vitamin B6 Deficiencies
A Vitamin B6 deficiency is commonly caused by
the use of oral contraceptives by women as well
as other medications which contain estro-progestational
hormones. As the cause of habitual use of estro-progestational
hormones, a Vitamin B6 deficiency occurs due to
the reason that these medications restrict the
absorption of Vitamin B6 into the bloodstream,
resulting in a higher dosage of this vitamin being
required by the body.
Signs and symptoms of a deficiency in Vitamin
B6 include:
- depression
- anxiety
- loss of libido
- insomnia
- water retention
- weight loss or weight gain
