BIOVIT Vitamin B6
Natural source: Lemon Peel (Natural) or Mango, Guava & Holy Basil (Organic)
Vitamin B6 from lemon peel, or organic fruit extracts
Two sources, one nutrient. The natural variant (BI088) is extracted from lemon peel, a byproduct of the juice industry with genuine sustainability credentials at 5,000 mg/100g. The organic variant (BI087) is a blend of mango, guava, and holy basil extracts at 4,000 mg/100g.
Organic and natural variants both GB and EU compliant, and direct one-to-one replacements for synthetic pyridoxine hydrochloride across supplements, energy drinks, shakes, and women's health products.
Specified by leading UK manufacturers, with samples dispatched within a week and reformulation support included.

From energy drinks to women's health supplements
Vitamin B6 sits at the centre of four BIOVIT premixes covering Energy, Focus, Women's Health, and GLP-1 support, all of which lean on the same EFSA claims for tiredness, hormonal regulation, and energy metabolism. Three categories where it earns its place fastest.
Supplements
Capsules, tablets, and powders where B6's ten EFSA claims do heavy lifting across multi-nutrient formats. The negligible inclusion rate (under 0.005 g per portion) leaves room for stacking with B12, magnesium, and other co-claim nutrients.
Powdered Shakes
Dry blending compatible with both variants. Anchors the energy and tiredness-reduction story in sports, recovery, and women's health shake formats, and pairs naturally with B12 and iron for fatigue-focused positioning.
Carbonated Beverages
Water-soluble, taste-neutral, and stable through standard beverage processing. The natural variant adds an upcycled lemon peel story to functional energy drinks already trading on clean-label credentials.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions from formulators specifying natural or organic Vitamin B6, covering source comparison, sustainability, bioavailability, and EFSA claim coverage.
Natural (BI088) lemon peel is the marginally more concentrated option at 5,000 mg/100g, with a strong sustainability story rooted in upcycled juice industry byproduct. Organic (BI087) mango, guava, and holy basil delivers 4,000 mg/100g with full Soil Association Organic certification for ranges where organic accreditation matters. The team can advise on the best match for your application.
Vitamin B6 sits within BIOVIT's broader bioavailability research programme at Swansea University, in collaboration with Prof Richard Bracken. The published 30-day human intervention trial established equivalent bioavailability between natural and synthetic micronutrient sources across the nutrients measured, supporting the position that plant-derived B6 performs in line with synthetic pyridoxine.
"Lemon peel extract" for the natural variant. "Organic mango extract, organic guava extract, organic holy basil extract" for the organic variant. Both read as recognisable food ingredients rather than synthetic vitamin codes.
Natural (BI088): 0.0042 g per portion for "Source of", 0.0084 g for "High in". Organic (BI087): 0.0053 g per portion for "Source of", 0.0105 g for "High in". For a precise cost impact in your formulation, get in touch with the team.
The natural variant uses lemon peel that would otherwise be discarded as a byproduct of the juice industry. That positions B6 alongside the BIOVIT mission of better food for all, with a credible upcycling story for brands building sustainability into their NPD pipelines.
Samples and commercial orders are dispatched within around a week of order confirmation, with full technical documentation included. The MOQ is 1 kg on standard powder format. Bespoke formats and pack sizes available on request.
Yes. Every wholesale order comes with full reformulation support from BIOVIT's Head of Nutrition, Eiméar Sutton RNutr MSc. That includes equivalence mapping against your incumbent pyridoxine, inclusion-rate modelling, and on-pack claim wording aligned to GB and EU regulation, at no extra cost.
Vitamin B6 contributes to the following EU-authorised health claims under EFSA Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006:
Normal function of the immune system
Normal energy-yielding metabolism
Normal functioning of the nervous system
Normal psychological function
Normal homocysteine metabolism
Normal protein and glycogen metabolism
Normal red blood cell formation
Reduction of tiredness and fatigue
Regulation of hormonal activity
Normal cysteine synthesis
Reformulation support is included
Every BIOVIT wholesale order comes with full technical reformulation support at no extra cost, giving your NPD and technical teams direct access to a qualified nutritionist from brief to production.
Eiméar Sutton (RNutr MSc), our Head of Nutrition, leads the technical work on every account: equivalence mapping against your incumbent synthetic, inclusion-rate modelling, on-pack claim wording aligned to GB and EU regulation, and the small details that decide whether a synthetic-to-natural switch lands cleanly on the production line.
The result: shorter development cycles, fewer reformulation rounds, and a finished product your commercial team can stand behind.
