Product information for Vitals Vitamine B6 20 mg: Application of Vitals Vitamine B6 20 mg: All Vitals products containing vitamin B6 contain only pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (P5P), the biologically active form of vitamin B6, and not pyridoxine HCL, which must be converted in the body. Vitamin B6 in its biologically active form, pyridoxal-5'-phosphate, acts as a cofactor in over 140 enzyme reactions in the body and therefore has a wide range of physiological functions. Thus, almost all amino acids require one or more enzymes dependent on pyridoxal-5'-phosphate for their metabolism. P5P-dependent enzymes also play a role in glycogen metabolism. In this way, vitamin B6 contributes to a good energy supply and can help with fatigue.Pyridoxal-5'-phosphate is also involved in the production of heme compounds and hemoglobin, and helps bind oxygen to and release from red blood cells. Heme compounds are also found in the mitochondria, which also explains pyridoxal-5'-phosphate's contribution to energy levels. Because pyridoxal-5'-phosphate is also absorbed by the brain and P5P-dependent enzymes play a role in the production of neurotransmitters, it also contributes to normal brain and nerve function.Vitamin B6 also plays a role in the immune system because it's a coenzyme required for the production of certain immunoglobulins (antibodies produced to neutralize viruses or bacteria) and cytokines (substances that send signals to activate or suppress the immune system). It also contributes to the synthesis of cysteine and the production and breakdown of homocysteine. Finally, vitamin B6 also regulates hormone activity.Vitamine B6:✓Contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism✓Supports energy levels✓May help reduce fatigue✓Plays a role in homocysteine metabolism✓Is also necessary for the formation of red blood cells✓Has a positive effect on the functioning of the nervous system✓Contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system✓Contributes to normal brain functions✓Co-regulates the activity of hormonesComposition of Vitals Vitamine B6 20 mg: Each capsule (= daily dose) contains:Vitamine B6 (pyridoxal-5-phosphate) 20 mgIngredients of Vitals Vitamine B6 20 mg: Anti-caking agent: rice fibre, vegetable capsule: pullulan (from fermented cassava starch), pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P).Vitals Vitamin B6 Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate 20 mg is guaranteed free of: gluten, lactose, soy, preservatives, and synthetic fragrances, colors, and flavors.
