Active B₆ Pyridoxal is a source of vitamin B₆ in the form of pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP). As the most biologically active form of the vitamin, PLP helps to catalyze over
140 reactions.¹ PLP is an important cofactor in 1) fatty acid metabolism, including the production of important omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids; 2) carbohydrate metabolism, including the breakdown of glycogen into glucose; 3) amino acid metabolism, including neurotransmitter synthesis and the conversion of tryptophan into niacin.¹ Vitamin B₆ deficiency decreases niacin production and increases the formation of the metabolite xanthurenic acid, which lowers insulin activity.² Low levels of vitamin B₆ also lead to increased synovial fluid between joints, which results in nerve compression.³

Recommended Dose: Adults: Take 1 capsule 2 times daily or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner. Children and Adolescents (9-18 years): Take 1 capsule daily or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner.
