Pyridoxal phosphate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pyridoxal - 5 - Phosphate - CoEnzyme B6
Intake is frequently low & this nutrient is commonly deficient in pregnant women, children, the elderly & the ill. It is also depleted by birth control pills, alcohol, tobacco, some antibiotics, blood pressure medication, and numerous other prescription drugs.*
Without adequate vitamin B6, the amino acids in dietary protein are not of much use to you. Vitamin B6 literally controls the amino acid absorption, metabolism & transformations in your body. It also directly participates in carbohydrate & fat metabolism, as well as the formation of red blood cells & antibodies. It is necessary for the absorption & utilization of certain minerals & is required for the proper functioning of over sixty enzyme systems in our bodies.*
It is important to take the active co-enzyme form of B6, pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P-5-P.) Many B6 supplements are the inactive pyridoxine HCL form. In some cases, supplementation of the pyridoxine HCL form singularly and in doses as low as 200 mg daily over 3 years caused a reversible numbness & tingling of the extremities. This problem was thought to be secondary to the liver's inability to convert the pyridoxine HCL to the pyridoxal-5-phosphate form (which requires vitamin B2, magnesium & a well functioning liver.) Using P-5-P avoids this problem.*
Supplementation increases the production of serotonin, norepinephrine, GABA, dopamine, & other neurotransmitters.*
Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate:
Is essential to any natural anti-depressant program and detailed in Dr. Slagle's book, "The Way Up From Down"*
Helps to relieve premenstrual symptoms.*
Helps boost immunity.*
May be protective against some forms of cancer.*
May be effective with some forms of fertility.*
Has anti-convulsant effects.*
Helps with skin disorders.*
Helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels.*
Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate evidence suggests that P5P may have a protective effect against cardiovascular disease and some cancers. In light of this research, supplementation with P5P may be the first line of defense against the overabundance of methionin
VITAMIN B6
quoted from the above link: "less P 5-P is needed than pyridoxine. No controlled studies have given exact comparisons, but I've found 50 milligrams per day of P 5-P to do the work of 200 to 500 milligrams of pyridoxine hydrochloride....Several individuals presenting sensory neuropathy following high doses of pyridoxine had their conditions completely relieved by discontinuing the pyridoxine, taking no B6 in any form for 3 days, then taking 50 milligrams per day P 5-P for five days with no further symptoms"
