Life Extension Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate is a dietary supplement formulated to provide a high-potency, metabolically active form of vitamin B6. This product is specifically designed to support healthy nerve, eye, cardiovascular, and kidney function by combating the effects of glycation. Each bottle contains 60 vegetarian capsules, offering a convenient way to supplement with this crucial nutrient.
The key ingredient is Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate (P-5-P), supplied at 100 mg per capsule. P-5-P is the active coenzyme form of vitamin B6, which means it can be used directly by the body without needing conversion in the liver, unlike the more common pyridoxine HCl. Vitamin B6 is essential for over 100 enzymatic reactions in the body, including protein metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis. This specific P-5-P form has been shown to be particularly effective in protecting lipids and proteins against glycation reactions. Glycation occurs when sugar molecules bind to proteins and lipids, forming harmful compounds known as Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs). The accumulation of AGEs is a natural part of the aging process and can negatively impact various body systems.
By inhibiting the formation of AGEs, Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate helps maintain the structural integrity and function of proteins and lipids throughout the body. This protective action supports the health of tissues that are particularly vulnerable to glycation damage, including the nerves, eyes, blood vessels, and kidneys. As a vital coenzyme, P-5-P also plays a critical role in supporting a healthy nervous system, promoting cardiovascular wellness, and maintaining proper kidney function.
The recommended dosage is one (1) capsule daily with food, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Taking the supplement with a meal may improve absorption and is generally well-tolerated. For consistent benefits, it is best to take the supplement at the same time each day.
