Vitamin B6

Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate (P-5-P)

Nutrient Form:
Vitamin
Found In:
Chickpeas, Beef Liver, Fish & Poultry
Bioavailability:
P-5-P is widely recognized as the most bioavailable form of vitamin B6. Many supplements use a less bioavailable form called pyridoxine HCl, which is why we chose P-5-P to ensure enhanced absorption into the body.

Description

P-5-P is the most bioactive form of Vitamin B6 and acts as a coenzyme to 160+ enzymes that convert amino acids into neurotransmitters. This is integral to mood regulation and maintaining healthy cognitive function. Vitamin B6 works alongside Vitamin B12, Folate (Vitamin B9) and SAMe to complete the production of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine.
Balances Biochemistry
Vitamin B6 plays a key role in the production of important neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine. These neurotransmitters are key to maintaining healthy cognitive function and mood regulation.
Replenishes Key Nutrients
Vitamin B6 is rich in foods absent from most diets, like beef liver and chickpeas. Given that deficiencies in Vitamin B6 are common in antidepressant users, we made sure to include it in our formula to support your nutritional needs to facilitate healthy neurotransmitter production.
