BioCare P-5-P Complex

(vitamins B2 and B6 with magnesium, zinc and beta carotene)

Background

Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (P-5-P) is the biologically active form of vitamin B6.

For the body to use vitamin B6 in many metabolic processes, it is dependent on certain nutritional co-factors, such as zinc, magnesium, beta carotene and vitamin B2.

The Mineral citrates found in P-5-P Complex 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, so that vitamin B6 can be properly used in the body.

• Citrates are particularly beneficial for those with low stomach acid as they require little or no acidification in order for absorption to take place.

• Smaller intakes of mineral citrates can be used, 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.

• P-5-P Complex is free of yeast.
