Quick Facts

Who BioActive B6 Is For

• Adults and adolescents (9 and up) who want vitamin B6 in its active P5P form
• People who want vitamin B6 for energy metabolism and tissue formation
• Anyone who wants a slow-release B6 rather than one fast dose
• Vegans, and people who need a halal option free of gluten, soy and corn
• People who prefer a single B vitamin to a full B-complex

Who this product is NOT for:

• Children under 9. The label dose starts at adolescents 9 to 18 years
• People who want all the B vitamins together. Pure Lab Slow Release BioActive B-Complex is the broader option
• Anyone already taking a B-complex or multivitamin with B6 should check their total B6 intake with a health care practitioner

Vitamart's Take

Many B6 supplements use pyridoxine hydrochloride, which the body has to convert before it can use it. Pure Lab gives you 50 mg of P5P, the active form, in a slow-release capsule. Pure Lab says each dose lasts about 4 to 5 hours on average, and recommends taking it with food, no later than your second meal of the day. It is vegan, halal and made in Canada, and it is a good choice if you specifically want active-form B6 on its own.

How BioActive B6 Compares

P5P vs. regular vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)

Pyridoxine HCl is the most common form of B6 in supplements, and the body converts it into pyridoxal-5-phosphate. This product gives you P5P directly.

Slow release vs. standard B6

B vitamins are water-soluble, so the body doesn't store large amounts. Pure Lab's hypromellose SR capsule releases P5P gradually, and Pure Lab says effects last about 4 to 5 hours on average.

B6 alone vs. B-complex

Pure Lab Slow Release BioActive B-Complex includes P-5-P together with methyl B12, L-5-MTHF and the other B vitamins. Choose BioActive B6 if you only need B6.

What Is Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (P5P)?

• Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P) is the metabolically active, coenzyme form of vitamin B6
• Vitamin B6 is water-soluble, so it isn't stored in large amounts and needs to come from diet or supplements regularly
• The body uses B6 in many enzyme reactions, especially in protein and amino acid metabolism
• Common supplement forms such as pyridoxine HCl have to be converted into P5P before the body can use them
• Food sources of vitamin B6 include poultry, fish, potatoes, chickpeas and bananas

Recommended Purpose

• Helps in energy metabolism and tissue formation
• Helps to prevent vitamin B6 deficiency
