- The metabolically active form of vitamin B6
- Goes to work immediately to support cardiovascular health
For optimum cardiovascular maintenance, use the most effective form of vitamin B6 with Swanson Ultra P-5-P (Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate) Coenzymated Vitamin B6, the metabolically active form of vitamin B6 that goes to work immediately. In order for vitamin B6 to be utilized by the body, it must be converted by the liver into its active coenzyme form. P-5-P lets your body side-step this conversion process for more rapid and efficient assimilation.

FAQ
- What are the health benefits of P-5-P?
As the active form of vitamin B6, Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (P-5-P) supports a wide range of important biological functions. P-5-P helps support amino acid and protein metabolism, energy production, neurotransmitter synthesis, and healthy nervous system function. It also plays a role in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, as well as the production of hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen in red blood cells. By serving as a coenzyme in numerous metabolic pathways, P-5-P helps support overall health and wellness. - What makes P-5-P different from standard vitamin B6 supplements?
P-5-P is called the active form of vitamin B6 because it functions as a coenzyme that directly participates in metabolic reactions throughout the body. Unlike other forms of vitamin B6 that require conversion, P-5-P is already in the form needed for biological activity. The primary difference is that P-5-P is already in its biologically active form. While standard vitamin B6 supplements typically provide pyridoxine, which must be converted before the body can use it, P-5-P is available for immediate participation in the body's metabolic processes. This makes it a popular choice for individuals seeking the active form of vitamin B6. - What does P-5-P do in the body?
P-5-P serves as a coenzyme for numerous enzymes involved in protein metabolism, amino acid utilization, neurotransmitter production, and energy metabolism. It helps support the body's ability to convert nutrients from food into usable forms and plays an important role in maintaining normal nervous system function. - Is Swanson P-5-P Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate suitable for special diets?
Swanson P-5-P Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate is non-GMO. However, it is not vegan or vegetarian because the capsule contains gelatin, and it is not certified gluten free.
