Symptom #3: Weakened Immunity
One of the important roles of vitamin B6 is the promotion or maintenance of a competent and effective immune system. Vitamin B6 is involved in the production of antibodies; cells that help the body fight off infections, and other specific cells of the immune system that mediate immune responses.
Therefore, when the body has insufficient amounts of the vitamin, it is prone to contracting infections that the body would have otherwise fought off easily. This is the reason why vitamin B6 supplementation is recommended not only for patients with chronic illnesses but also as a regular dietary component for healthy living.
