Does the child need to supplement vitamin B6?

My children are much shorter than their peers. I have heard that vitamin B6 deficiency can cause stunting. So, do my children need to supplement vitamin B6?

    Make sure that your child lacks vitamin B6 in a timely manner because vitamin B6 deficiency can cause fatigue, insomnia, stomatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and certain neuropsychiatric symptoms; damage DNA synthesis and affect immune function. Vitamin B6 deficiency will also increase the content of homocysteine in plasma and increase the chance of suffering from chronic diseases such as fatty liver and hyperlipidemia; and vitamin B6 also plays an important role in growth and cognitive development.
