B-Complex Support with Extra Pyridoxine and Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate
Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and its bioactive form pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (P5P) are essential for such processes as amino acid metabolism neurotransmitter synthesis and glycogen (storage sugar) breakdown. They are also involved in heme synthesis (necessary for hemoglobin) conversion of tryptophan to niacin and proper metabolism of fatty acids.
Thorne's B-Complex #6 supplies 250 mg of pyridoxine HCl10 mg pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and the bioactive forms of the other B vitamins in each capsule to ensure you get the most bioavailable B-complex available.
B-Complex #6 also consists of a group of eight water-soluble compounds: thiamine (vitamin B1) riboflavin (vitamin B2) niacin (vitamin B3) pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) pyridoxine (vitamin B6) cobalamin (vitamin B12) folate and biotin. Although each B vitamin is chemically distinct they often work together in various biochemical functions throughout the body ?from cellular energy production to healthy red-blood-cell formation to healthy neurological function. Most B vitamins with the exception of vitamin B12 are not stored in the body; consequently they must be acquired daily from the diet in order to maintain optimal health.
Supplementing with active B vitamins is extremely important to everyone especially individuals who may not be able to convert non-active vitamins to their active forms in the liver because of compromised liver function poorly functioning enzymes digestive disturbances or age. Dietary supplements containing these active cofactors have enhanced bioavailability ensuring the body gets the nutrients it needs.
