VITALUNDFITMIT100 VITAMIN B6 (PYRIDOXAL-5-PHOSPHATE bioactive) 100 pieces of 3.5 mg each

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble, essential vitamin and is crucial for many functions and activities in our body. It influences metabolism, hormones and nerves and is needed for the breakdown of many fats, proteins and carbohydrates.

Vitamin B6 - the all-rounder of the B vitamins - is present in the body in various forms. Most manufacturers use the vitamin B6 form pyridoxine. However, this active ingredient does not show any direct biological activity, but must first be converted by the body into the active form . In the body, P5P is the most important storage form for vitamin B6, which is why we have chosen the directly effective vitamin B6 pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P-5-P/PLP for short), which the body uses directly in all important metabolic pathways can use.

In its active form P5P (pyridoxal-5-phosphate), vitamin B6 is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin. In addition to its numerous functions as a cofactor within a cell, pyridoxal-5-phosphate is also involved in the activity of enzymes, that are not surrounded by a cell membrane. P5P is also involved in almost all reactions of amino acid metabolism. Together with folate and other B vitamins, it regulates homocysteine metabolism and is involved in the formation of neurotransmitters in the nerves and in the energy, glycogen and lipid metabolism.

A vitamin B6 deficiency can lead to dysfunction of the liver and nervous system as well as increased excretion of amino acid metabolites. In addition, a B6 deficiency can lead to sleep disorders, mood swings, skin rashes and skin inflammation (dermatitis), headaches, fatigue and listlessness. When supplementing of vitamin B6 in its active form P-5-P, the vitamin can act directly and without conversion steps in the metabolism.
