B6 is for energy. It helps the body make amino acids which are required for several major functions in the body including the generation of energy. It is called an "energy-releasing water-soluble vitamin."
B12 deficiency can lead to anemia or neurologic disorders due to progressive demyelination of nervous tissue. So B12 helps maintain signal transduction and helps prevent anemia. It is called a "hematopoitic water-soluble vitamin."

B-6: It performs a wide variety of functions in your body and is essential for your good health. For example, vitamin B6 is needed for more than 100 enzymes involved in protein metabolism. It is also essential for red blood cell metabolism. The nervous and immune systems need vitamin B6 to function efficiently, and it is also needed for the conversion of tryptophan (an amino acid) to niacin (a vitamin)
Vitamin B12 helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells . It is also needed to help make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. Vitamin B12 is also called cobalamin because it contains the metal cobalt.
