Source Naturals Coenzima B-6 – Piridoxal Fosfato (P-5'-P) 100 mg, 60 comprimidos

What is Pyridoxal Phosphate?

Discover Source Naturals Coenzymated — Pyridoxal phosphate (PLP or P-5'-P) is the active form of vitamin B6. Unlike pyridoxine, which must be converted by the liver, PLP is ready to act from the start. This coenzyme is involved in more than 100 key enzymatic reactions: protein metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis such as serotonin and dopamine, red blood cell formation, and immune system function. Being the directly usable form, its bioavailability is superior, especially in people with compromised liver function or genetic variants that hinder conversion.

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.

Who is it recommended for?

It is especially useful for those who have difficulty metabolizing pyridoxine, as can occur in certain liver conditions or due to genetic polymorphisms. It is also an option for those following vegetarian or vegan diets, where B6 intake may be lower. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting supplementation.
