Vitamin B6 (CAS 8059-24-3), commercially supplied primarily as Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, is a water-soluble vitamin functioning as a vital coenzyme in animal feed additives and food fortification. This white crystalline powder, technically identified as 5-hydroxy-6-methyl-3,4-pyridinedimethanol hydrochloride, acts as a crucial cofactor in amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and red blood cell formation. We provide bulk supply of this feed and food grade ingredient with competitive factory pricing to support the livestock and nutritional supplement industries. Our manufacturing process ensures high stability and flowability, making MSDS, TDS, COA available alongside customized specifications to meet BP/USP/EP or Feed Grade standards.
