Life Extension Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate Caps -- 100 mg - 60 Vegetarian Capsules

• Sugar doesn't just affect our weight. It also contributes to glycation, a natural process in which sugars react with proteins and lipids to form non-functioning molecules that can contribute to the normal process of aging. That’s where vitamin B6 comes in: it helps inhibit glycation. And by doing so, it also helps support cardiovascular function, eye health, a healthy nervous system, kidney function and immune health. If you’re going to supplement with B6, choose the active form of the vitamin: Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate.

Vitamin B6 plays a crucial role in numerous life processes. Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate is the metabolically active form of vitamin B6 that participates in over 100 enzymatic reactions in the body.

Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate has been shown to protect lipids and proteins against glycation reactions. Glycation reactions occur when sugar in the blood reacts with proteins and lipids in the body. These reactions are a natural consequence of aging and result in the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) throughout the body. AGEs accumulate with time and contribute to some of the effects of aging. Inhibiting the formation of AGEs can help support many aspects of your health.

By inhibiting AGE formation and working as a coenzyme in biochemical reactions, pyridoxal 5’-phosphate can support a healthy nervous system, cardiovascular and kidney function, immune and eye health, and more.  

In addition to this standalone product, Life Extension offers pyridoxal 5’-phosphate in two premier formulations: Life Extension Mix™ and Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer with PQQ.

• Big B6 benefits - Vitamin B6 plays a key role in over 100 enzymatic reactions in the body. It also helps inhibit sugar-related glycation reactions, which has a positive impact on many aspects of your health, including your heart, nerves, eyes and kidneys.
• Better B6 bioaction - Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is the metabolically active form of vitamin B6, which means it works better in your body and is more bioavailable for the important tasks it needs to do, like supporting your nervous and immune systems.
• Healthy aging support - Vitamin B6 defends against the glycation compounds (AGEs) that contribute to the signs of normal aging (like wrinkles). It can actually help inhibit those compounds from forming.
