Source Naturals Coenzymated B-6 25 mg – Active B6 Vitamin (Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate) – 30 Sublingual Tablets

What is Pyridoxal Phosphate?

Vitamin B6 exists in several forms, but only one is biologically active: pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP). Unlike pyridoxine (the most common form in supplements), PLP does not need to be converted by the liver to be utilized. This means that, by taking it in its coenzymated form, the body can take advantage of it immediately. Source Naturals Coenzymated B-6 provides 25 mg of pyridoxal-5-phosphate in a convenient, fast-dissolving sublingual tablet, ideal for those seeking direct and effective absorption.

Benefits backed by EFSA

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin B6 contributes to:

• Normal energy metabolism
• Normal functioning of the nervous system
• Normal red blood cell formation
• Normal protein and glycogen metabolism
• Reduction of tiredness and fatigue
• Normal functioning of the immune system
• Regulation of hormonal activity

This supplement offers an active form that facilitates obtaining these benefits without the need for liver conversion.

This product is suitable for people with an active lifestyle who wish to support their energy and nervous system. It is also an excellent option for those experiencing fatigue, stress or premenstrual symptoms, as well as for vegetarians and vegans (the product is suitable for vegetarians and does not contain ingredients of animal origin).
