What is Vitamin B6 Pyridoxamine?
Pyridoxamine (CAS 85-87-0) is one of the three natural forms of vitamin B6, alongside pyridoxine and pyridoxal.
Where is Vitamin B6 Pyridoxamine used?
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing: active ingredient in B6-complex formulations and investigated therapeutic agent targeting glycation-related pathways
- Functional food and nutraceutical: premium vitamin B6 supplements where bioavailability differentiation from standard pyridoxine hydrochloride is a commercial priority
- Animal nutrition: precision feed premixes where metabolic support is a target
- Agrochemical and veterinary product developers source it as a reference standard or minor active in specialized nutritional programs.
Good to know: It functions as a coenzyme precursor in amino acid metabolism and is recognized for its ability to inhibit the formation of advanced glycation end-products. The dihydrochloride salt form is preferred due to its stability and solubility profile.
