Country Life Vitamin B-6, High Potency, 200 mg, 90 Vegan Capsules

What is Pyridoxal Phosphate?

Pyridoxal phosphate is the biologically active form of vitamin B6. Unlike pyridoxine (inactive form), pyridoxal phosphate does not require liver conversion to be used by the body, which makes it especially bioavailable. This water-soluble vitamin plays a key role in numerous metabolic functions, including protein metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and cellular energy production.

Country Life offers its vitamin B-6 in a dose of 200 mg per capsule, ideal for those seeking a high intake of this essential vitamin.

Benefits backed by EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved the following health claims for vitamin B6:

• Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
• Contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Contributes to normal red blood cell formation.
• Contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

These benefits make vitamin B6 an ally for maintaining daily vitality and overall well-being.

Who is it recommended for?

This supplement is formulated for people who want to support their energy levels, as well as the balance of the nervous system. It is especially useful for those who lead an active lifestyle, experience occasional stress, or wish to supplement their diet with high-quality vitamin B6.
