Features the superior P-5-P form of B6, making it highly bioavailable. However, the 10mg dosage is low, and the price per serving is very high.
Quantity: 60
This product stands out for using Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate (P-5-P), the active coenzyme form of Vitamin B6, which is crucial for maximizing absorption and direct utilization by the body. This is a significant advantage over the common Pyridoxine HCl form, as it bypasses the need for liver conversion. While the 10mg dosage is sufficient for basic daily needs or for individuals sensitive to higher doses, it may not be adequate for those seeking significant therapeutic effects for intense energy, brain health, or mood support. The primary drawback is its very high price per serving, making it an expensive option for the dosage provided.
- Contains Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate (P-5-P), the highly bioavailable and active form of Vitamin B6.
- Bypasses the need for liver conversion, ensuring better utilization, especially for those with genetic variations.
- Well-suited for individuals who may be sensitive to higher doses of B6 HCl or need precise intake.
- Very high price per serving, making it a premium-priced option for the dosage.
- Low 10mg dosage may not be sufficient for individuals with significant deficiencies or therapeutic needs for energy, brain health, or mood support.
- The product name implies Magnesium, but the provided ingredient list only specifies Vitamin B6, which could be misleading.

Categories
Vitamin B6 80.0
This product is commendable within the Vitamin B6 category for exclusively using the active P-5-P form. However, its high price per serving for a comparatively low 10mg dose lowers its overall category score when considering value for money.
Goals
Brain Health 75.0
P-5-P is the preferred form for neurotransmitter synthesis crucial for brain health. While the form is optimal, the 10mg dose is modest and might not deliver profound effects for those seeking robust brain support.
Mood Support 75.0
For mood support, the P-5-P form is highly effective as it directly participates in serotonin and dopamine production. The 10mg dose can offer foundational support, but higher doses are often used for more pronounced mood benefits.
Energy 70.0
The P-5-P form is excellent for energy metabolism due to its direct bioavailability. However, the 10mg dosage is quite low for significant impact on energy levels for individuals with greater needs, making it more suitable for maintenance.
