Do We Need the Active form of Vitamin B6? We all know that a healthy body can tolerate foods and perform chemical reactions that a less-healthy body sometimes cannot. In the case of inexpensive pyridoxine HCl, your body must have healthy liver function in order to make the conversion to P5P. Under optimal conditions, then, P5P is transported through your bloodstream by albumin to the rest of your cells. Your cells must have P5P, not pyridoxine HCl, to thrive. According to physician feedback we have received, however, this conversion to P5P may be obstructed by common infections, such as candidiasis. This conversion to P5P in your liver requires a simple chemical reaction called phosphorylation. However, during times of infection, phosphorylation may slow down, causing P5P levels to diminish ... possibly leading to vitamin B6 deficiency symptoms, such as those widely reported in candidiasis patients. The problem does not necessarily end there. Your body’s cells may begin to starve for vitamin B6 if nothing but pyridoxine HCl is circulating in your blood. According to a recent medical hypothesis, this circulating pyridoxine HCl may actually interfere with vitamin B6 utilization by binding with P5P receptors and preventing true vitamin B6 from entering your cells. Thus, contrary to our instincts, a vitamin B6 deficiency may actually be aggravated by taking the ordinary pyridoxine HCl. Lidtke Techonologies Corp
