A high-potency Vitamin B6 supplement featuring a blend of active and precursor forms, offering comprehensive B6 support with a consideration for the very high total dosage.
Country Life Coenzyme Active B6 Caps provides a complex array of Vitamin B6 forms, specifically Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (75mg), Pyridoxine Alpha-Ketoglutarate Hydrochloride (75mg), and Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate (P-5-P, 75mg), totaling 225mg of Vitamin B6. The inclusion of P-5-P is a clear benefit, as it is the active coenzyme form that the body can readily use. Pyridoxine Alpha-Ketoglutarate is a less common form that is also thought to have good bioavailability. While offering a comprehensive B6 spectrum, the very high combined dosage, particularly with the Pyridoxine HCl component, might still carry a risk of neuropathy for some individuals with prolonged use. It's designed for those seeking high-potency B6 support across different metabolic pathways, but general users should be mindful of the total intake.
- Contains Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate (P-5-P), the active and readily usable form of Vitamin B6.
- Offers a diverse blend of B6 forms, potentially catering to various metabolic needs and absorption pathways.
- High total dosage may be beneficial for individuals with significant B6 requirements or specific therapeutic goals.
- The very high total dosage of 225mg, especially with 75mg of pyridoxine hydrochloride, could lead to adverse effects like peripheral neuropathy with long-term use.
- More expensive per serving compared to basic pyridoxine HCl supplements, reflecting the complexity of the blend.
- Due to the high total dosage of Vitamin B6, particularly the pyridoxine hydrochloride component, caution is advised for long-term daily use. Consult a healthcare professional to assess individual needs and potential risks of neuropathy.

Categories
Vitamin B6 80.0
As a Vitamin B6 product, it stands out by providing multiple forms, including the highly desirable P-5-P. This makes it a comprehensive B6 supplement. However, the very high total dosage, partially from pyridoxine HCl, means it's best suited for targeted use under professional advice rather than general daily supplementation in the Vitamin B6 category.
Goals
Brain Health 80.0
B6 is critical for neurotransmitter synthesis and overall nervous system function. The inclusion of the active P-5-P form directly supports brain health. While potent, the very high dose should be carefully managed, as excessive B6, even active forms, can sometimes have paradoxical effects on nerve health for some sensitive individuals.
Mood Support 80.0
With multiple forms of B6, this product can significantly contribute to the synthesis of mood-regulating neurotransmitters. The active P-5-P is particularly effective for this goal. However, the high overall concentration may not be suitable for all individuals seeking general mood support without professional guidance.
Energy 75.0
Vitamin B6 is deeply involved in converting food to energy. The diverse forms and high dosage in this product provide robust support for energy metabolism, ensuring efficient nutrient utilization. However, the very high total dose warrants consideration for sustained, daily energy supplementation.
