Pure Encapsulations P5P 50 — Activated Vitamin B6 for Energy Metabolism, Cardiovascular and Neurological Health*
P5P (pyridoxal 5’-phosphate) is the active form of vitamin B6. Pure Encapsulations describes it as “Activated B6; Supports energy metabolism, cardiovascular and neurological health.”*
Who I Reach For This With
- Patients on methylation-support protocols who want the B-vitamins in their active forms
- Anyone whose practitioner wants B6 in a vegan capsule free from artificial colors and sweeteners
- People who want a formula free from unnecessary binders, fillers and preservatives
- Protocols where energy, nerve and nutrient metabolism are the focus
What Makes This Form Different
- 50 mg of vitamin B6 as pyridoxal 5' phosphate (activated B6) in each (size 3) vegetarian capsule
- Pure says it’s “Active form of vitamin B6”*
- Small capsules for easy swallowing
- Vegan and GMO free, and free from wheat, gluten, soy, dairy, eggs, artificial colors and sweeteners, coatings and shellacs, and magnesium stearate
What Pure Encapsulations Says It Supports*
- “Supports the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins”*
- “Promotes healthy functioning of the nervous and musculoskeletal systems”*
- “Facilitates the release of glycogen used in energy production”*
- “Supports the production of antibodies and red blood cells”*
How It Fits Into a Protocol
P5P is a quiet foundation piece. It sits comfortably beside the other active B-vitamins, such as Pure Encapsulations Folate 1,000 and methylcobalamin, or the Apex and Thorne B12 and 5-MTHF products we carry. Dosing is individualized, so I set it with the rest of the B-vitamin picture rather than in isolation.
