I'm taking 100mg/day of Vitamin Shoppe's P-5-P. Should I divide the two tablets into two separate doses, or is this inconsequential?
Vitamin B6 has a wealth of uses in the human body, and a number of them particularly beneficial to bodybuilders. For a start, B6 is necessary for protein + fuel metabolism during exercise. Without B6, your body is unable to create the enzymes necessary to handle managing amino acids effectively. The release of glucose from glycogen is also handled by a B6 created enzyme. For bodybuilders, both of these are critical.
In the nervous system, another interesting role is the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin. Other neurotransmitters including GABA, norepinephrine and dopamine are all created from B6 dependent enzymes. So B6 is necessary for proper brain functioning as well.
Within the blood system B6 is a coenzyme for the creation of heme, a component of hemoglobin. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which is critical to their ability to transfer oxygen to cells. And in the hormone systems B6 helps control cortisol levels.
In what timeframe did you try it?
Ive had this issue for about a year now. will it still work okay?
Also, what dosage?
Ill probably get some NOW Vitex as well as its pretty cheap
