Vitamin B6 pyridoxine 25 mg, 60 caps

Vitamin B6 – Pyridoxine 25 mg – support for immune and energy metabolism

What is pyridoxine?

Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (P5P) is the active form of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine).

P5P is a coenzyme of pyridoxine and is easily utilized by the body without the need for conversion. This makes it the most bioavailable and effective immediate form.

Pyridoxine, also known as vitamin B6, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in numerous biological functions of the body. It belongs to the B vitamin family and is essential for maintaining overall health. Pyridoxine can be found in a variety of foods and is also available as a dietary supplement.

Why it's worth it.

- Immediate and best bioavailability

- Enhanced Functionality: Directly participates in essential biochemical reactions such as amino acid metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis.

- Beneficial for those with malabsorption or certain genetic conditions, as it bypasses the need for conversion.

- Balance of neurotransmitters (GABA, dopamine, serotonin)

- Better supplementation results and less risk of side effects than other forms

Functions of pyridoxine

1. amino acid metabolism: Pyridoxine is essential for the metabolism of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. It helps convert amino acids into neurotransmitters, which are crucial for brain function.

2 Neurotransmitter synthesis: Participates in the synthesis of key neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). These neurotransmitters play a significant role in mood regulation, stress response and overall brain health.

3. hemoglobin production: Pyridoxine is essential for the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Adequate levels of vitamin B6 are essential for maintaining healthy blood and preventing anemia.

4. immune function: pyridoxine supports the immune system by helping to produce antibodies and immune cells to function properly.

5. Homocysteine regulation: Helps regulate blood levels of homocysteine, an amino acid associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, when elevated.

6. Energy metabolism:

Pyridoxine is involved in carbohydrate and fat metabolism, contributing to energy production and overall metabolic health.

Symptoms of deficiency

Pyridoxine deficiency can lead to a number of health problems, including:

Peripheral neuropathy (numbness or tingling in the extremities), Anemia, Skin diseases (dermatitis), Depression and mood changes, Weakened immune response.
