Specific type of vitamin B prevents DNA damage

B vitamins are important in many ways – higher vitamin B levels have been linked to a lower risk for cancer. This research examined the association between pyridoxal, a type of vitamin B 6, folate and homocysteine with 8-OHdG, a marker of oxidative DNA damage (Kuwahara K, et.al, 2013). The participants were both men and women ages 21 to 66 years.

The results documented that 8-OHdG concentration was inversely associated with pyridoxal concentration in men. This means that this specific form of vitamin B 6 can help protect against oxidative DNA damage.

Not all B vitamins formulas contain this type of vitamin B6. If you are going to take B vitamins why not take it in a form which gives you the most benefits.
Our B Complex formula not only contains this form of B 6, but it also contains the most effective form and metabolites of other B vitamins for added benefits.
