Vitamin B6
Effects of Vitamin B6
- Maintains the health of skin and mucous membranes
- Assists in protein synthesis
- Supports the synthesis of hemoglobin in red blood cells
- Aids in lipid metabolism
Vitamin B6 does not act on its own but is used in over 100 enzyme reactions involved in metabolism.
According to the National Cancer Center, a study found that men who consumed Vitamin B6 had a 30-40% lower risk of colorectal cancer compared to those who consumed less. Interestingly, no such change was observed in women.
Recommended Daily Intake of Vitamin B6
The recommended intake for adults is 1.4mg for men and 1.1mg for women, with an additional 0.8mg needed during pregnancy.
Typically, the necessary amount of Vitamin B6 can be obtained through food, so deficiency is rare.
In energy drinks, Vitamin B6 is used for energy metabolism after consumption, so drinking these drinks is not meaningless, but Vitamin B6 is not a potent ingredient by itself.
Additionally, an Australian study suggests that taking Vitamin B6 may help recall dreams more easily when waking up. Quite interesting!

In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.
