Hi Andrew, I'm far from expert, but what I've been discovering is how people, including health professionals, believe the source of crucial nutrients is dietary. Also, it's thought fats such as PUFA in the diet are to blame for inflammation. But the real source is microbial enzymes responsible for biosynthesis of vitamin B6 and PUFA. Bacterial enzyme deficiency is underestimated and overlooked, especially in the intestines and liver. It's also biosynthesized in plants. I believe diet is secondary to flora. B6 deficiency is known in gut dysbiosis among other B vitamins which is one good reason to use probiotics. Here are some links about B6 biosynthesis:
