What it is
Pyridoxine hydrochloride is a synthetic form of vitamin B6, an essential nutrient. It is manufactured chemically. Vitamin B6 is important for many bodily functions, including metabolism and brain development.
Why it's used
It is added to foods as a nutrient supplement to fortify them with vitamin B6. It is commonly found in fortified breakfast cereals, energy bars, and beverages.
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 pyridoxine hydrochloride and established an acceptable daily intake. While vitamin B6 is essential, very high doses from supplements can cause nerve damage, but this is not typically associated with intake from fortified foods.
Allergen info
Pyridoxine hydrochloride is not one of the nine major allergens and does not contain gluten.
