Vitamin B6 - is a water-soluble vitamin that is used by the body to process amino acids. It is thus vital in creation of proteins, hormones and neurotransmitters.

Vitamin B6 deficiency is characterized by impaired immunity, skin lesions and mental confusion. Vitamin B6 is found in potatoes, bananas, lentils, liver turkey and tuna.
