Research

Observational studies suggested an inverse correlation between a higher intake of vitamin B₆ and all cancers, with the strongest evidence for gastrointestinal cancers. However, evidence from a review of randomized clinical trials did not support a protective effect. The authors noted that high B₆ intake may be an indicator of higher consumption of other dietary protective micronutrients. A review and two observational trials reporting lung cancer risk reported that serum vitamin B₆ was lower in people with lung cancer compared to people without lung cancer, but did not incorporate any intervention or prevention trials.
