Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate better known as P5P (Vitamin B6):
Vitamin B6 can be found in three different forms. In order to get nutritional value out of these forms, they must first be converted into P-5-P in the liver. So P-5-P is the active night form of Vitamin B6. P-5-P is a coenzyme, meaning that it works with enzymes to help them accomplish their tasks more quickly and efficiently and thus is a crucial element of biosynthesis. When P-5-P is taken in its purest form, it doesn't have to go through the conversion process in the liver, meaning it's possible people can then get more benefit out of the nutrient, especially when used with magnesium.
Benefits of P-5-P
As such an important part of healthy functions in the brain and body, P-5-P offers a variety of possible benefits. Here are some of the most noteworthy:
