Can vitamin B6 cure closed acne?

Today is this:

Vitamin B6

The reason for this is Yes, a fan sent me an article one day, and the article solemnly introduced a good way to shut up: a very cheap vitamin B6 tablet bought at the drugstore, pounded into powder, and then mixed with lotion, Or a mask, or aloe vera gel and the like on the face,,, and then, you can receive miraculous effects. . .

My first impression at the time: this is a folk remedies. .

Why do you say that? Just a simple reasoning will know: If Vb6 has the magical effect of de-shutting, then the manufacturers that produce Vb6 will definitely promote it and print this special effect on the packaging. In addition, cosmetic manufacturers will also add Vb6 ingredients in the formula to increase the effect of closing the mouth. . . . After all, Vb6 is very cheap, a box of Vb6 is only a few yuan. . .

Although it is a folk remedy, some people think it has some effect. Why? Let’s analyze

1.VB6

First look at a professional introduction to Vb6

VitaminB6 (Vitamin B6) aka < span>Pyridoxine, which includes pyridoxine, pyridoxal and pyridoxamine, exists in the form of phosphate ester in the body, and is a water-soluble vitamin< /span>, easily damaged by light or alkali, not resistant to high temperature.

VitaminB6 in yeast, liver, grains, meat, fish, eggs, beans and peanuts more content.

Vitamin B6 is a component of some coenzymes in the human body, and participates in various metabolic reactions, especially amino acid metabolism have a close relationship. Clinical application of vitamin B6 preparations to prevent and treat vomiting of pregnancy and radiation sickness.

One of the formulas is as follows:

Since Vb6 is a kind of vitamin, it must be necessary for our body. If it is lacking, it will cause some diseases, Such as loss of appetite, low food utilization, weightlessness, vomiting, diarrhea and other problems. Severe deficiency can cause acne, anemia, arthritis, cramps in children, depression, headaches, hair loss, inflammation, learning disabilities, weakness, and more.

Wait, see no, if there is a severe deficiency of Vb6, the symptoms of acne may appear. . . No wonder, someone invented this home remedy to treat acne. . . .

But the question is, is your body severely deficient in Vb6?

< span>2.Missing?

Vitamin B6 comes from a wide range of food sources, including animal and plant foods.

Usually found in meats, whole grains (especially wheat), vegetables and nuts higher. The bioavailability of vitamin B6 in foods of animal origin is better than that of foods of plant origin.

In animal and plant foods, the content is slight, yeast powder is the most, rice bran or white rice is also a lot, followed by meat, poultry, fish, Potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetables. See the image below

you can see /span>Vitamin B6 is widely distributed in animals and plants, especially in the husks of cereals (eat more whole grains, with skins)At the same time, intestinal bacteria can synthesize vitamin B6 for the human body Therefore, as long as you have a balanced diet, there is generally no shortage. So, how much Vb6 does the human body need every day? See the data below

Dietary reference intake

For U.S. food and dietary supplement labeling purposes the amount in a serving is expressed as a percent of daily value (%DV) . For vitamin B6 labeling purposes 100% of the Daily Value was 2.0 mg, but as of May 2016 it has been revised to 1.7 mg. A table of the pre-change adult Daily Values ​​is provided at Reference Daily Intake. Food and supplement companies have until July 28, 2018 to comply with the change.

The above data comes from: https: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B6

That is, for adults, 1.7 per day mg of Vb6 is enough! Let’s take a look at the distribution of Vb6 content in frequently eaten foods

Every 100g edible portion of various foods containsvitamins The amount of B6 is as follows:

yeast powder 3.67mg,

defatted rice bran 2.91mg, white rice 2.79mg, flax meal 1.25mg, custard 0.8~0.04mg, carrot 0.7mg, fish 0.45mg, whole wheat extract 0.4~0.7mg, meat 0.3~0.08mg, milk 0.3~0.03mg, egg 0.25mg, Spinach0.22mg, sweet potato 0.14~0.23mg, pea 0.16mg, soybean 0.1mg, orange 0.05mg.

In other words, if you eat 2 taels of white rice every day, you can supplement enough Vb6. . . You see, we eat all kinds of things every day, so there is really no shortage of Vb6. That is to say, Most acne on the face is not caused by the lack of Vb6.

So, why do some people apply Vb6 to relieve the symptoms of closed mouth?

< span>3.VB6 function

Vitamin B6 makes a very, very big contribution to the human body.

vitaminB6 is quickly converted into co-enzymes pyridoxal phosphate and pyridoxamine phosphate, both of which are Species are closely related to the metabolism of protein

amino acid metabolism, especially for methyl sulfide Amino, cystine, cysteine, etc.

Required for decarboxylation (=COOH) during amino acid metabolism.

Required for the conversion of sulfur-containing amino acids (methionine, cystine, cysteine, etc.), whether homocysteine ​​is deficientvitamins B6, pay attention.

Methionine is an important amino acid that provides methyl group. Without vitaminB6, This action cannot be performed. A lot of carbonation should not be carried out, such as the synthesis of fat, amino acid carbon frame, etc.

Related to the conversion of tryptophan into nicotinic acid, tryptophan→nicotinic acid, if lack of vitaminB6, That is, an intermediate metabolite—xanthuric acid (xanthurenic acid) is produced, which can destroy pancreatic beta cells in the bodycells , which eventually leads to the occurrence of diabetes. In clinical practice, the presence of vitaminB6 deficiency is determined by examining the amount of xanthuric acid in the urine.

The conversion of glycogen to glucose requires the presence of vitaminB6, and glycogen phosphorylase can accelerate the decomposition of glycogen into glucose.

convertsfatty acidslinseedoleic acid(linoleic acid –18C) is required for the conversion of arachidonic acid (arachidonic acid–22C). If this acid is lacking, it will cause skin cracks, and in severe cases, it will even cause cells Membrane degeneration and physical discomfort.

The synthesis of co-enzyme A (co-enzyme A) is related to…

In the metabolism of brain cells, the coenzyme of pyridoxine is very important for the decarboxylation of amino acids, so the function of stabilizing brain cells cannot be lackedVitaminB6…

pyridoxine is not only a coenzyme for the synthesis of the above amine-containing compounds, but also a The coenzyme required for the brain cell inhibitory substance GABA (gama-amino butyric acid). When human beings sleep deeply, the GABA content will rise very high, and it is shown that when there is vitaminB6, GABA increases, and it is easier for people to fall asleep deeply. Therefore, in order to let the excited brain cells rest, in addition to using melatonin, it is necessary to add vitaminB6 to function well.

Wow~ I can see the importance of vitamin B6, which is involved in so many cells and tissues biochemical reaction. . . However, among these many physiological effects, no effect on mouth closure and acne has been found, and doctors sometimes recommend Vb6 drugs when treating acne patients. . . what about this?

Unfortunately, after searching a lot of data, no mechanism of action was found. Then, we can only make a rough inference, because vitamin B6 has so many physiological functions and participates in so many biochemical reactions of cell tissues. . . Then, Vb6 acts as a sufficient supply of raw materials when the skin is inflamed (acne acne) to eliminate irritants. Just like a sentence, the troops and horses are not moved, the food and grass go first. Vb6 is a kind of forage to ensure the victory of the war.

Retinoic acid is the main drug for the treatment of acne and pimples. Many literature reports and a series of studies on the mechanism of action can be found.

So, is vitamin B6 good or bad for closed acne?

4.Cure acne?

First look at the story below

Vitamin B-6, or pyridoxine, is needed for a wide range of functions within your body including cellular metabolism and energy production, stomach acid production and food absorption, red blood cell development and maintaining electrolyte balance. Vitamin B-6 promotes healthy skin by reducing its sensitivity to the effects of testosterone, which breaks the acne cycle, and participating in the synthesis of RNA and DNA, which contain the instructions for repair and growth of the epidermis that is affected by acne, as cited in “Vitamins: Fundamental Aspects in Nutrition and Health.” Vitamin B-6 is not as well researched as other vitamins for acne treatment and although results have been mixed, some studies have linked acne symptoms to B-6 deficiency and others have reported acne remission following B-6 supplements, as cited in “Nutritional Sciences.”

< p>Reference article: http://www.livestrong.com/article/463015-b-6-zinc-acne/

This article talks about, Vitamin B6 can reduce the skin’s sensitivity to testosterone to reduce acne breakouts.

The article below is another point of view

This then brings us to B6. The reason it was so detrimental to me, I believe, is because it is known to reduce estrogen levels and increase progesterone. My estrogen levels had been low for some time, and I had long wondered why. Low estrogen levels are often coupled with higher relative testosterone levels, which can mean higher levels of sebum production.

Reference article: http://thelovevitamin. com/15994/b-vitamins-acne/

This article talks about,Vb6 lowers estrogen levels and thus testosterone levels can rise, which can then lead to increased oily skin and increased acne breakouts.

Look at the article below

Treating Premenstrual Acne with Vitamin B6

Generally speaking, men who have acne don’t see their skin clear up when they take B6. The vitamin doesn’t have an effect on acne in women who have passed menopause, either.

In some women who have premenstrual acne, however, vitamin B6 supplementation can work wonders. The women who benefit most are those who have a luteal phase defect that causes their periods to come too soon after ovulation. In these women, taking 250 mg of B6 a day along with 200 mg of magnesium a day for up to six months at a time (six months on, three months off) can clear up premenstrual acne along with other signs of PMS, including mood swings , fluid retention, and headache.

Some women, however, should not take vitamin B6 supplements at all, and some men should not either. If you have rosacea, excessive vitamin B6 can interfere with the action of nicotinamide in your skin and make rosacea flares worse. Don’t take supplemental B6 for acne if you are male, and don’t take B6 for premenstrual acne if you have ever had rosacea.< /p>

Reference article: http://www.facingacne.com/vitamin-b6-preventing-treating-acne/

This article talks about, Vb6 is good for women with PMS (may be useful for physical acne), but men and rosacea Patients can not take Vb6, otherwise it will get worse.

Of course, there is a lot of information, and it is impossible to list them all. To summarize, first of all, you should supplement your body with vitamin B6 every day, so that you can Prevent skin acne. Secondly, the daily intake of high doses of vitamin B6 does not have much effect and cannot play a role in treating acne. Finally, supplemental intake of super high doses of vitamin B6 may actually lead to the occurrence of closed acne, such as intake of more than 250mg per day.

5.Summary

Vitamin B6 is not the main key drug for the treatment of closed mouth.

Then, vitamin B6 tablets mashed and coated It is not statistically significant whether it can be applied to the face to close the mouth. I think it is a folk remedies, maybe it happened to have a little effect on some people. So what happened when a fan found that his face turned yellow after applying it? (The products of Vb6 will turn yellow when exposed to light or involved in other metabolic decomposition). The same is true for urine yellow after taking Vb6.
