Active Vitamin B6 Formula
Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate contains the metabolically active form of vitamin B6, which provides maximum absorption and utilization as activation by the liver is not required. This water-soluble vitamin is involved in numerous metabolic reactions throughout the body and functions as a coenzyme. Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (P-5-P) is associated with the conversion of amino acids into neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, thereby enhancing nervous system function. P-5-P is also required for the synthesis of hemoglobin in the red blood cells as well as for the production of antibodies. Recent research has shown that P-5-P along with folic acid and vitamin B12 lowers elevated homocysteine levels and therefore plays a protective role against cardiovascular diseases. Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate is indicated for symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome, and for depression, anxiety, carpal tunnel syndrome, anemia, cardiovascular disease, morning sickness, acne, bronchial asthma, infertility, and senile cornea.This formula is recommended for those with liver disease who may have difficulty with the conversion of vitamin B6 to pyridoxal-5-phosphate. The capsules are 100% pure vegetable-sourced. Product ideal for vegans.
