Active B₆ Pyridoxal is a source of vitamin B₆ in the form of pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP). As the most biologically active form of the vitamin, PLP helps to catalyze over 140 reactions.¹ PLP is an important cofactor in: 1) fatty acid metabolism, including the production of important omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids; 2) carbohydrate metabolism, including the breakdown of glycogen into glucose; 3) amino acid metabolism, including neurotransmitter synthesis and the conversion of tryptophan into niacin.¹ Vitamin B₆ deficiency decreases niacin production and increases formation of the metabolite xanthurenic acid, which lowers insulin activity.² Low levels of vitamin B₆also lead to increased synovial fluid between joints, which results in nerve compression.³
