Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (vitamin B6) is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism, the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. It helps in cognitive development through the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters and maintains normal homocysteine levels (an amino acid in the blood). Mecobalamin (Methylcobalamin) regulates body functions like cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.
