Vitamin B6 is a white, crystalline substance. It is soluble in water and alcohol. Long storage, canning, roasting or stewing of meat, food-processing techniques, use of alcohol and oestrogen are destructive to this vitamin.
Vitamin B6 is absorbed mainly in the jejunum. However it is also absorbed in the ileum of the small intestine by passive diffusion. Absorption in the colon is very slight. Although the bacteria in the colon do synthesise vitamin B6, it is not absorbed to any significant extent. Small quantities of this vitamin are stored in the body. The vitamin is widely distributed in various tissues and excreted mainly from the kidneys. Small quantities of the vitamin are excreted in the faeces and in sweat.
