May Help Prevent Cancer

Getting enough vitamin B6 may help reduce your chance of getting some cancers. It is unknown why B6 may help prevent cancer, but experts believe it has something to do with the antioxidant's capacity to combat inflammation, which has been linked to both cancer and other chronic diseases. Both appropriate food consumption and blood levels of B6 were linked to decreased chances of colorectal cancer, according to a study of 12 research. The chance of acquiring this kind of cancer was nearly 50% reduced in people with the highest blood levels of vitamin B6.

Additionally, studies on vitamin B6 and breast cancer link healthy blood levels of the vitamin to a lower risk of the illness, particularly in postmenopausal women. Other research on vitamin B6 levels and the risk of cancer, however, has not discovered any correlation. To determine the precise function of vitamin B6 in cancer prevention, further study is required, including randomized trials in addition to observational studies.
