Vitamin B6 is necessary for numerous biochemical reactions. But in order for B6 to be used by the body it must first be converted to pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (P5P), a process that takes place in the liver. Individuals with compromised liver function have difficulty making this conversion and consequently may be at risk of a vitamin B6 deficiency. Supplementing with Thorne Research’s Pyridoxal 5’-Phosphate ensures patients receive the most bioactive form of vitamin B6.
