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.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
How does the chemical stability of Vitamin B6 (CAS 8059-24-3) compare to other B-vitamins in premixes?
A: Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxine HCl) is relatively stable to heat and atmospheric oxygen compared to Vitamin B1, but it is chemically sensitive to light and moisture; therefore, it is intended to be stored in light-resistant containers and used in dry premixes to maintain potency. -
Q:
Is this specific CAS number intended for pharmaceutical or animal nutrition applications?
A: While CAS 8059-24-3 is the generic registry number for Vitamin B6, the industrial product is typically Pyridoxine Hydrochloride; it is widely intended for use in both animal nutrition (as a feed additive for poultry and swine) and human health supplements to prevent deficiency-related metabolic disorders.
