first 'pyridoxine hydrochloride and sucralose are 2 seperate ingredients. Pyridoxine Hydrochloride is a B6 substance as it Pyridoxine assists in the balancing of sodium and potassium as well as promoting red blood cell production. It is linked to cardiovascular health by decreasing the formation of homocysteine. It has been suggested that Pyridoxine might help children with learning difficulties, and may also prevent dandruff, eczema, and psoriasis. In addition, pyridoxine can help balance hormonal changes in women and aid in immune system. Lack of pyridoxine may cause anemia, nerve damage, seizures, skin problems, and sores in the mouth.
It is required for the production of the monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine, as it is the precursor to pyridoxal phosphate: cofactor for the enzyme aromatic amino acid decarboxylase. This enzyme is responsible for converting the precursors 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) into serotonin and levodopa (L-DOPA) into dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline. As such it has been implicated in the treatment of depression and anxiety.
A very good source of pyridoxine is dragon fruit from South East Asia[citation needed] Pyridoxine is not normally found in plants and plants are not the principal source of this vitamin. This vitamin is made by certain bacteria. Some vegetarians may get adequate pyridoxine simply from eating plants that have traces of soil (like potato skins). Most people get their supply of this vitamin from either milk or meat products.
Sucralose on the other hand is simply a 0-calorie sugar substitute it is approximately 600 time sweeter than sucrose (table sugar).
all of this info can be found easily on wikipedia. search for "MONSTER ENERGY"
Thank you very much for answering a long awaited answer that means alot to me. Monster drinks did not help my teeth, thank you soo much.
Pyroxidine hydrochloride is Vitamin B6 and sucralose is some type of sugar I think. Look them up under the drugs a to z tab on the light blue banner just under the drugs.com logo. You could also look them up in wikipedia. Wikipedia may have the drink listed also.
