About vitamins; vitamin b6 and its derivatives, unmixed

HS code 293625 covers the import and export of vitamin B6 and its derivatives, which are essential nutrients for human health. Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, plays a crucial role in various metabolic processes, including protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism, as well as the production of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. This industry is of significant importance to the broader pharmaceutical and nutritional supplement sectors, as vitamin B6 is a key ingredient in many health and wellness products.

Production process

The production of vitamin B6 and its derivatives typically involves chemical synthesis or extraction from natural sources, such as plant materials. The main production techniques include fermentation, chemical reactions, and purification processes to isolate the desired vitamin compounds. Manufacturers must adhere to strict quality control and safety standards to ensure the purity and potency of the final products.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the vitamin B6 industry include raw materials such as pyridine, acetaldehyde, and other chemical precursors. Additionally, manufacturers require specialized equipment and machinery for the various stages of production, including fermentation tanks, purification systems, and packaging equipment. Skilled labor, including chemists, process engineers, and quality control personnel, is also a crucial input for this industry.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the vitamin B6 industry are the various forms of the vitamin, including pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine, as well as their derivatives. These products are then used as ingredients in a wide range of 300410 pharmaceutical preparations, 210690 food supplements, and 293624 other vitamins. The vitamin B6 industry also supplies inputs to the broader 210600 other pharmaceutical preparations and 210500 other medicinal or pharmaceutical products sectors.
