The cycle science of B6:
OVA MOON has 40mg of B6, the activated coenzyme metabolite form called Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate (P5P). It is absorbed readily and used in the brain as a neurotransmitter converter of tryptophan to serotonin, and to boost GABA, the feel good brain chemicals. Interestingly, the body excretes excess B vitamins daily, so it’s important to have a steady intake. B6 also helps with the production of hemoglobin (the protein in blood that carries oxygen throughout the body).
