Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate)
Vitamin B6 Benefits at a Glance:
- Optimizes cellular health and energy production
- Assists with amino acid metabolism
- Supports red blood cell production
- Promotes hormonal balance
- Aids neurotransmitter balance
Vitamin B6 is an antioxidant that supports cellular health and prevents cell damage by neutralizing free radicals and reducing oxidative stress. It comes in various forms, including pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine. Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate (P5P) is the active, coenzyme form of vitamin B6.
Vitamin B6 plays a crucial role in breaking down and metabolizing amino acids to ensure optimal protein utilization, which supports various bodily functions — including hormonal balance and neurotransmitter production. For this reason, B6 is essential for optimizing serotonin and dopamine levels, which are essential for mood, proper sleep, and cognitive function.
B6 is also needed for red blood cell production. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body and promoting optimal circulation and energy.
In addition to the health benefits above, vitamin B6 is a key nutrient for stress and mood support, which we could all use more of in our modern day busy lifestyles.
We use nano-liposomal vitamin B6 in our products. This means it’s nano-sized (a tiny particle less than one micron) and can seamlessly enter the membranes through your mouth or skin and bypass the digestive process – which allows it to become up to 200 x more bioavailable. Liposomal delivery further aids absorption by safeguarding vitamin B6 from your body’s natural defenses, so it stays intact until being absorbed at the intended location.
