What it is

Pyridoxine hydrochloride is a synthetic form of vitamin B6, a nutrient essential for human health. It is manufactured through chemical synthesis. Vitamin B6 plays a role in metabolism, brain development, and immune function.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add pyridoxine hydrochloride to foods as a nutrient supplement, primarily in breakfast cereals and infant formulas. It helps fortify these products to meet daily vitamin B6 requirements.

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 acceptable daily intake levels. While vitamin B6 is essential, very high doses taken over long periods can lead to nerve damage.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
