Exactly as listed on the label: Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine hydrochloride) — 13.8 mg (812% DV).
What it is
Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin found in fish, poultry, potatoes, chickpeas and bananas. Prostacyl provides 13.8 mg as pyridoxine hydrochloride, which is 812% of the Daily Value. The number looks large because the Daily Value is only 1.7 mg.
Why formulas include it
B6 helps the body turn food into usable energy and supports normal nervous system function. It is one of the ingredients behind the label's “energy and male vitality” focus, together with the mineral boron.
What the research says — honestly
B6 is essential, and a shortfall can cause tiredness and other problems. For people who already get enough, extra B6 has not been shown to raise energy further. The NIH sets the adult upper limit at 100 mg per day, because long-term very high intake can cause nerve problems.
Safety notes
13.8 mg is comfortably under the upper limit. Check the B6 in any other supplements you take, especially B-complex products, so your total stays reasonable.
Where it fits in Prostacyl
Vitamin B6 is one of nine ingredients in each two-capsule serving of Prostacyl. It works alongside saw palmetto, pygeum africanum, grape seed extract, pumpkin seed extract and the rest of the formula, rather than on its own. You can see how the groups connect on the ingredients overview.
