INFORMATION ON VITAMIN B6 (P5P)

P5P is the bioactive coenzyme form of vitamin B6, required for over 100 enzymatic reactions in the body. It is more efficient than pyridoxine HCl because it does not require conversion by the liver.

Functions:

  • Supports neurotransmitter synthesis (serotonin, dopamine, GABA)

  • Enables protein, carb, and fat metabolism

  • Involved in hemoglobin and myelin production

  • Helps regulate hormone activity and inflammation

TAILORBLEND uses P5P for its superior bioavailability, better tolerance, and lower required doses compared to pyridoxine HCl.

  • Hormonal balance and PMS symptom relief

  • Energy metabolism and red blood cell formation

  • Homocysteine metabolism and cardiovascular support

  • Immune system function

  • Nausea in pregnancy (under medical guidance)

WHOLE FOODS

P5P is present naturally in animal foods. Other forms of B6 are found in plants and converted to P5P in the body.

Plant-Based Sources:

  • Chickpeas, lentils, brown rice, bananas, potatoes, sunflower seeds, spinach, fortified cereals

RECOMMENDED USE

Synergistic Nutrients:

  • Magnesium: Supports calm mood, sleep, and PMS relief

  • B12 + Folate: Work with B6 in homocysteine metabolism

  • Zinc: Supports immune and hormonal function

  • 5-HTP or tryptophan: Requires P5P for serotonin production

Typical Dosages:

  • Maintenance: 2–10 mg/day

  • Functional support: 10–25 mg/day

  • Therapeutic (e.g. PMS, nausea, methylation): 25–50 mg/day
