My naturopath had recommended Vital Life's mix of P5P with magnesium to me because it was the only brand sold locally which he knew of to be pure P5P. When purchasing it I noted what I thought was a better deal and dosage from something called the AllergyResearchGroup and went for that...
Just spoke with my naturopath now and he pointed out that what I had purchased turns out to be a mix with a very small percentage of it being pure P5P which is supposed to be much more effective on stress relief than just B6, which it is the active form of, whatever that means...
Anyway, what I purchased is titled Pyridoxine P5P in the largest print on the front. In finer print on the back it notes the combo to be 91% as Pyridoxine Hydrochloride and 9% as Pyridoxal-5-Phospate, the latter being what I THOUGHT I was purchasing. So much for a bargain and for not having paid attention to the small print. : (
Sante!
