Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (P-5-P) is the biologically active form of vitamin B6. The utilisation of vitamin B6 in many metabolic processes is dependent upon associated nutritional co-factors. Mineral citrates contain a mineral ion bonded to citric acid. Zinc citrate is the form of zinc found in human breast milk. Citrates are a readily absorbable source of minerals.
Features
· P-5-P Complex contains co-factors vitamin B2, beta carotene, zinc and magnesium for the proper utilisation of vitamin B6 in the body
· Citrates are particularly beneficial for those with low stomach acid as they require little or no acidification prior to absorption
· Large intakes of mineral citrates are not necessary due to their bio-availability
· Vitamin B6 assists in the production of essential brain chemicals
· Vitamin B6 is required for the conversion of the amino acid tryptophan to vitamin B3
· Vitamin B6 assists the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates and is essential for cellular growth
· Beta carotene can be converted into vitamin A in the body
· Suitable for vegetarians and vegans
