Description
Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (P-5-P) is the active, coenzyme form of Vitamin B6. It participates in over 100 enzymatic reactions, critically impacting protein and amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, GABA), hemoglobin formation, and glucose regulation. As the active form, P-5-P offers improved bioavailability compared to other B6 vitamers, potentially enhancing its efficacy. It is supplemented to support cognitive function, mood balance, immune health, and energy production. While generally safe, high doses of P-5-P can result in adverse effects, necessitating adherence to recommended dosages.
