golehyas: Vitamin B6!!! when attached to a phosphate group, it becomes pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) which is the prosthetic group of the enzyme aminotransferase that converts your alpha-ketoglutarate into glutamate thusly allowing it to dispose of toxic ammonia as urea in the body basically, eat lots of vitamin B6 (spinach, bell peppers!) so that you can properly metabolize amino acids and other fun stuff
