Why Choose Swanson P-5-P?

Swanson’s commitment to quality ensures you receive a reliable, effective supplement.

What Is Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (P-5-P)?

Vitamin B6 is essential for numerous bodily functions, but not all forms are equal. Swanson P-5-P delivers pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P-5-P), the active coenzyme form of vitamin B6. Unlike standard pyridoxine hydrochloride (HCl), which must be converted by the liver into its active form, P-5-P bypasses this conversion entirely. This means it goes to work immediately, making it an excellent choice for individuals with compromised liver function or those who simply want the most bio-available form of vitamin B6.

Health Benefits of Vitamin B6 (as P-5-P)

Vitamin B6 contributes to a number of important physiological functions. As P-5-P, it supports:

• Normal Energy Metabolism: Helps convert food into usable energy, reducing tiredness and fatigue.
• Normal Homocysteine Metabolism: Supports the maintenance of normal homocysteine levels.
• Normal Nervous System Function: Contributes to normal neurotransmitter synthesis, supporting mental performance and a balanced mood.
• Normal Protein and Glycogen Metabolism: Essential for the breakdown and utilisation of proteins and energy storage.

These benefits make P-5-P a versatile supplement for overall wellness.

Recommended Dosage

The NHS recommends 1.3–2.0 mg of vitamin B6 daily for adults, with higher needs during pregnancy and lactation. Supplements typically range from 25–100 mg per serving. Swanson P-5-P provides 20 mg per capsule—a moderate dose suitable for daily uses, especially alongside a balanced diet. The 4-pack offers exceptional value with a total of 240 capsules (60 capsules per bottle).

Potential Side Effects and Safety

Vitamin B6 is generally safe when used as directed. The upper safe limit for adults is 100 mg per day; doses above this may increase the risk of peripheral nerve toxicity over time. If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications, consult your health care provider before uses. This supplement is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease.
