Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate (P5P): Highly Bioavailable Vitamin B6
<p>Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (P5P) is the active coenzyme form of Vitamin B6 which can be directly utilized by the body without conversion. There are several compounds that are commonly referred to as B6 including Pyridoxine, Pyridoxal, Pyridoxamine, and their respective 5`-phosphate forms. These are considered Pyridoxine vitamers, and our body is capable of interconverting between them. That is to say, pyridoxine can be converted to pyridoxal 5`-phosphate, and then back into pyridoxine later. Each of these compounds play unique roles in our body, but only P5P has an active coenzyme role. Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate controls the metabolism of amino acids, aids in the production of neurotransmitters, and is a cofactor for more than 150 enzymes in our body.<strong>1</strong></p>
