Vitamin B6 Lowers Heart Attack Risk in WomenWednesday, September 23, 2009 - Byron Richards, CCNLevels of the active coenzyme form of vitamin B6 (pyridoxal 5’ phosphate) were found to be inversely associated with the risk for a heart attack in women. The study involved 32,826 women who provided blood samples and were then tracked for a number of years. The women with the highest level of vitamin B6 in their blood were 22% less likely to have a heart attack; a 36% reduced risk if over the age of 60. Vitamin B6 is important for nerve function, stress tolerance, and clearing homocysteine (a known cardiovascular risk factor). All B vitamins are required for optimal health. This data shows they can also reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease in women.
