Kal B-6 50 mg Piridoxal-5-fosfato, 50 Comprimidos

What is Pyridoxal Phosphate?

Discover Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate Tablets, Count — Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P-5-P) is the biologically active form of vitamin B6. Unlike pyridoxine, the more common form in many supplements, P-5-P does not need to be converted by the liver to be utilized by the body. This makes it a more direct and efficient source of vitamin B6, especially beneficial for individuals with compromised liver function or those seeking optimal absorption. Kal offers this nutrient in enteric-coated tablets to protect its stability and facilitate its absorption in the intestine.

EFSA-Backed Benefits

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved several health claims for vitamin B6. These include:

• 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.
• Contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity.

These claims are based on scientific evidence and approved for use in the European Union.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between pyridoxal phosphate and pyridoxine?
Pyridoxine is the inactive form that must be converted in the liver to P-5-P. Pyridoxal phosphate is the active form and does not require conversion, which can be beneficial for people with liver problems or poor absorption.

Can I take this supplement with other B vitamins?
Yes, vitamin B6 can be combined with other B complex vitamins. However, it is important not to exceed the recommended daily doses of each nutrient.

The enteric coating helps the tablets pass intact through the stomach and dissolve in the small intestine, thereby improving absorption and reducing possible gastric discomfort.
