P-5-P (Pyridoxal 5 -Phosphate) | 25 mg Active Vitamin B6 Supplement | 100 Vegetarian Capsules | Seeking Health

Description

P-5-P or pyridoxal 5 -phosphate is known as the "active" or "coenzyme" form of vitamin B6. This is because the P-5-P form of B6 is directly used in B6-dependent enzyme functions within the body. In fact, vitamin B6 and P-5-P are needed for more than 100 enzymes - mostly related to protein metabolism.

In a typical diet, B6 can be found in potatoes, poultry, fortified grains and cereals, salmon and avocados. However, many plant sources contain a less bioavailable form of B6 - pyridoxine glucoside. This form is more difficult to absorb and utilize than the forms found in meat, fish, poultry or supplements. Especially for those who eat a mostly vegan or vegetarian diet, B6 supplementation can be very important.
