Why Vitamin B6 Matters — and Why It’s Safely Included in VigourCells™
9/12/2025
With all the recent noise about high-dose synthetic B6 coming out from Australia, I want to address this head on and ask:
”Is B6 safe? And why is it inside VigourCells™?”
The truth is simple:
Vitamin B6 is an essential life-supporting nutrient.
Without it, your energy, immunity, brain function, red blood cells, and detox systems cannot work properly.
The B6 inside VigourCells™ is the active, low-dose, body-ready form—proven safe, effective, and far below any danger level.
Here’s what we need to understand:
⸻
1. B6 is required for over 100 enzyme reactions in the body
Vitamin B6 is not optional — it’s compulsory and your body uses it constantly.
It is essential for:
• Energy production: Helps convert carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into usable cellular fuel.
• Brain & nerve health : Required for making serotonin, dopamine, GABA — the neurotransmitters that regulate mood, sleep, stress response, and cognition.
• Strong immunity: Supports the formation of immune cells and helps the body mount a proper response to infection.
• Healthy red blood cells: Works with B12 and folate in the methylation cycle for normal red blood cell formation and homocysteine control.
• Protein metabolism & detoxification: Crucial for amino acid processing, liver detox pathways, and breaking down inflammatory compounds.
Simply put:
Without B6, nothing in the cell works smoothly.
This is why B6 deficiency causes fatigue, low mood, nerve issues, poor immunity, anemia, and higher inflammation.

2. Why B6 is included in VigourCells™
VigourCells™ is a network antioxidant and cellular regeneration formula.
B6 plays an essential support role in that network.
A. B6 is needed for glutathione and detox enzymes
Glutathione—the body’s master antioxidant—requires B6 in several steps of its metabolism.
Without B6, glutathione recycling slows down.
Since VigourCells™ focuses on restoring antioxidant balance and cellular repair, B6 is a necessary cofactor.
B. B6 supports mitochondrial energy production
Mitochondria convert nutrients into energy.
B6 is involved in amino acid metabolism and coenzyme reactions inside the mitochondria.
Healthy mitochondria mean:
• better recovery
• clearer thinking
• stronger immunity
• less oxidative stress
This aligns directly with VigourCells™’ purpose.
C. B6 works with B12, folate, magnesium, ALA, and CoQ10
The network antioxidants don’t work in isolation.
B6 is a key link in the chain:
• It activates enzymes using ALA (alpha-lipoic acid).
• It helps recycle glutathione, vitamin C, and CoQ10.
• It reduces homocysteine, protecting the heart and brain.
So B6 is placed in VigourCells™ not as a high-dose standalone vitamin, but as a strategic cofactor that enhances the entire network.

3. VigourCells™ uses the active, safe form: Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P)
Most of the Australian problems involve people taking:
• high-dose pyridoxine (synthetic B6)
• often 50–200 mg daily
• from multiple overlapping
supplements
That is not what VigourCells™ uses.
VigourCells™ contains:
• Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P) — the biologically active form
• Only 0.5 mg per capsule (2 mg/day at full dose)
This is:
• in the normal physiological range
• 25–50 times lower than any known risk levels
• approved by Health Canada in this exact formula
So the B6 in VigourCells™ is:
Low-dose. Body-ready. Safe for long-term daily use.
⸻
4. Why you do not need to worry about B6 in VigourCells™
Because it is:
• Not a high dose
• Not pyridoxine
• Not in the range linked to neuropathy
• Not combined with other megadose B6 products
It is simply present to support the antioxidant network, just like magnesium, B12, folate, selenium, and other essential cofactors.
VigourCells™ gives your cells exactly what they need to repair, regenerate, and function optimally — without pushing any nutrient into dangerous territory.
