Short answer: Vitamin B6 supports mood, PMS symptoms and the luteal phase by helping make serotonin and supporting progesterone. The active form (P5P / pyridoxal-5-phosphate) is well used by the body. It is one of the most evidence-supported nutrients for premenstrual symptoms.
B6 is a cofactor in making serotonin and dopamine, and it supports the second half of your cycle. That's why it is a classic for premenstrual mood, irritability and breast tenderness.
Look for the active P5P form. Femme Flourish includes vitamin B6 alongside magnesium, zinc and inositol for rounded cycle support. Very high long-term doses of B6 aren't advised, so stick to sensible amounts.
