Country Life Coenzima B-6 Activa - 50 mg Vitamina B6 (P-5-P) - 30 Cápsulas Vegetales

What is Pyridoxal Phosphate (P-5-P)?

Vitamin B6 is essential for numerous bodily functions, but not all forms are created equal. Pyridoxal Phosphate (P-5-P) is the biologically active form of vitamin B6, meaning the body can use it directly without the need for liver conversion. This is especially important for people with compromised liver function or who have difficulty converting pyridoxine (the most common form) into its active form.

Country Life Coenzyme Active B-6 provides 50 mg of vitamin B6 per capsule, of which 25 mg is in the form of P-5-P. This combination ensures optimal bioavailability and efficient absorption, maximizing the benefits for the body.

Benefits backed by EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved several health claims for vitamin B6. This food supplement contributes to:

• Normal energy metabolism: Helps convert food into usable energy, combating fatigue.
• Normal functioning of the nervous system: Participates in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine.
• Normal red blood cell formation: Essential for oxygen transport in the blood.
• Normal function of the immune system: Supports the body's defenses.
• Reduction of tiredness and fatigue: Helps maintain high energy levels throughout the day.

It is important to remember that food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.

Who is it recommended for?

This supplement is ideal for people seeking additional support for their daily energy, especially those with restrictive diets (vegan, vegetarian) who may have a lower intake of vitamin B6. It can also be beneficial for those experiencing physical or mental stress, mood changes related to the menstrual cycle, or occasional fatigue. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation.

Recommended dosage and how to take it

It is recommended to take one vegetable capsule daily, preferably with a meal for better absorption. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Keep out of reach of children. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Possible side effects and contraindications

Vitamin B6 is generally safe at recommended doses. Very high doses (greater than 200 mg per day for long periods) can cause peripheral neuropathy, so it is important not to exceed the maximum tolerable intake established by the EFSA of 100 mg per day. This product provides 50 mg, a dose within the safe range. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication, consult your doctor before use.
