Coenzymated P5P B-6 30 Tablets, Source Naturals

In order for vitamins to be utilized by the body, they must first be converted into their active coenzyme forms.  This more potent Coenzymated B-6 is in its active form, ready to go to work immediately.  Pyridoxal-5’-Phosphate (PLP or P-5’-P), is the main metabolically active coenzyme form of vitamin B-6.  It is primarily in the liver that P-5’-P is synthesized from vitamin B-6, with the help of enzymes that require B-2, Zinc, and Magnesium for their activity. P-5’-P activates over 100 enzymes, many of which are involved in the conversion of amino acids into the neurotransmitters dopamine, norephinephrine, and serotonin. P-5’-P is also required for the synthesis of the hemoglobin molecule.  It also plays an important role in regulating homocysteine levels.
