Morphology
vitamin + B6
The phrase is a straightforward combination of the noun 'vitamin' and an alphanumeric subtype label 'B6', so a learner who knows both parts will understand it denotes a specific kind of vitamin. This compositional naming pattern (vitamin + letter/number) is cross-linguistically common, so the meaning is immediately recoverable rather than idiomatic.
Etymology
Vitamin B6 got its name because early scientists simply numbered the B vitamins as they discovered them, and this one was the 'sixth'. So Vitamin B6 is the B-group vitamin known for helping the body use protein and starch.
