What it is

Pyridoxine hydrochloride is a synthetic form of vitamin B6, an essential nutrient. It is produced through chemical synthesis and is often used in fortified foods and supplements. Vitamin B6 plays a vital role in metabolism, brain development, and immune function.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add pyridoxine hydrochloride to foods as a nutrient supplement, particularly in fortified cereals, energy bars, and beverages. It helps to increase the vitamin B6 content of these products, contributing to their nutritional profile. It is commonly found in snack bars, yogurts, and smoothies.

Health notes

Pyridoxine hydrochloride is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient. The FDA permits its addition to foods to improve nutritional value. While vitamin B6 is essential, very high doses from supplements can lead to nerve issues. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated vitamin B6 and established guidelines for its intake.

Allergen info

Pyridoxine hydrochloride is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
