Vitamin B6

Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate, or P5P as it is commonly known, is the active form of vitamin B6. In foods or most supplements, vitamin B6 is found in one of three forms: pyridoxine hydrochloride, pyridoxal, or pyridoxamine. Inside the body, these forms of B6 must be converted by liver enzymes to the active form the body needs – P5P, hence the advantage of providing it “ready made”.Vitamin B6 is required for the metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. B6 has EFSA approved health claims for contribution to normal energy-yielding metabolism, function of the nervous system, contribution to normal homocysteine metabolism, protein and glycogen metabolism, contribution to normal psychological functions, red blood cell formation, function of the immune system, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. In my clinical experience, vitamin B6 deficiency is widespread, particularly in people who have busy lifestyles. Low B6 impairs vitamin B12 absorption then having an effect on energy and mental performance.

Vitamin B3

Vitamin B3 or niacin is one of the B vitamin group members that’s essential for energy metabolism. In fact, EFSA has approved health claims for its contribution to normal energy yielding metabolism, function of the nervous system, contribution to normal psychological functions, red blood cell formation, function of the immune system, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
