How it works
Pyridoxal 5′-Phosphate (P5P) is the bioactive form of vitamin B6, crucial for the body’s ability to effectively use and metabolize amino acids. This form of vitamin B6 plays a significant role in energy production, neurotransmitter synthesis, and hormone metabolism, which can be especially beneficial for women experiencing PMS symptoms. P5P also supports the conversion of homocysteine into important compounds like taurine and cysteine, which are vital for maintaining cardiovascular health and reducing the risk of heart disease.
Unlike regular vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), P5P does not require conversion in the liver, making it the most bioavailable and active form of this nutrient. This makes it an ideal supplement for individuals who may struggle to convert pyridoxine into P5P due to liver dysfunction or other health conditions. Supplementing with Thorne’s Pyridoxal 5′-Phosphate ensures that you are providing your body with the most efficient form of vitamin B6, bypassing potential conversion issues and supporting optimal health.
In addition to its role in amino acid metabolism, P5P is essential for the production of hemoglobin, which helps transport oxygen in the blood, and is involved in the formation of the myelin sheath around nerve cells, supporting nervous system health. It also plays an important part in immune function, mood regulation, and cognitive health.
Thorne’s Pyridoxal 5′-Phosphate is third-party tested to guarantee the accuracy of the label, ensuring that each dose delivers the proper amount of active vitamin B6. The product is free from yeast and contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and microorganisms, giving you confidence in both its quality and safety. By choosing Thorne’s P5P, you’re supplementing with a high-quality, bioavailable form of vitamin B6 that supports a wide range of essential bodily functions.
