Excessive fatigue is your everyday life, and the body's immunity leaves much to be desired? Reach for Vitamin B6 P-5-P 30 mg to support the work of the nervous and endocrine systems, as well as increase your energy levels. 

Vitamin B6 is essential for the optimal functioning of the body. It takes part in many of its processes - from supporting protein metabolism to contributing to the proper functioning of the nervous system. It has properties that positively affect psychological functions by providing the body with adequate amounts of pyridoxine. Vitamin B6 helps to maintain proper energy metabolism, protein and glycogen metabolism, which is important for the work of muscles. In addition, it supports the optimal production of red blood cells and helps maintain the proper metabolism of homocysteine^[1]. 

Our supplement contains vitamin B6 in the active form of the pyridoxal 5'phosphate (P-5-P). What does it mean? 

Pyridoxal 5'phosphate is the active form of vitamin B6, so in this form the body uses vitamin B6 as a coenzyme in many important biochemical reactions. Pyridoxine, on the other hand, is a precursor of vitamin B6, which must first undergo a series of reactions in the liver and intestines to the phosphorylated form (P-5-P)^[2]. 

OSAVI Vitamin B6, P-5-P 30 mg contains in one capsule 30 mg of P-5-P, including 18 mg of vitamin.

Vitamin B6 could be obtained from food sources such as meat fish (e.g. liver, salmon, mackerel), whole grain cereals (e.g. rye bread, buckwheat), pulses (e.g. red lentils, peas), sesame, hazelnuts, bananas and spinach^[3]. Regular intake of vitamin B6 in the form of a food supplement is one way to help restore its levels or prevent its deficiency in the body.
