Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (P5P), a naturally occurring form of vitamin B6 in the body, is encapsulated in a solid dosage form composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells.

P5P is utilized in the treatment of various conditions such as anemia, seizures, nerve damage, certain types of depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. The capsules are available in 50 mg doses and are intended for oral administration.

P5P functions by aiding the body in converting food into energy and facilitating the production of neurotransmitters, the chemicals that enable the brain to communicate with the rest of the body. It also plays a crucial role in hormone regulation, which can alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety. When taking P5P capsules, it is essential to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Consuming the capsules with food can enhance absorption, and taking them at the same time each day can help maintain consistent levels of the vitamin in the body.

While P5P capsules are generally well tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
