How would you take vitamin B6

However, it would also contain plant foods, such as whole grains, potatoes, cauliflower, green beans, dried fruit, lentils, chickpeas, soybeans.
B6 should be introduced daily in the diet as the body could not accumulate it.

The exposure of foods to sunlight and air would also affect, as well as preservation in boxes or low temperatures. These situations would decrease the quantities, which is why the best foods for absorption would be those fresh and prepared at the very moment they are eaten.
