What it is
Pyridoxine hydrochloride is the synthetic form of vitamin B6, a water-soluble vitamin essential for human health. It is manufactured chemically and is commonly used to fortify foods and beverages.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add pyridoxine hydrochloride to foods and beverages as a nutrient to fortify products with vitamin B6. It is frequently found in meal replacement supplements, energy drinks, and protein powders.
Health notes
Pyridoxine hydrochloride is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated vitamin B6 and established an acceptable daily intake. While vitamin B6 is essential, very high intakes from supplements can lead to nerve issues, but this is not typically a concern from fortified foods.
Allergen info
Pyridoxine hydrochloride is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
