BIO-3B-G – Activated B-Complex Vitamins – 180 Tablets

The Importance of Phosphorylated (Activated) B Vitamins

Bio-3B-G? provides biochemically activate forms of the B vitamins, including riboflavin 5-phosphate and cocarboxylase, in lieu of riboflavin and thiamin, respectively. Consequently, fewer enzymatic steps are needed to achieve a fully functional coenzyme. As an example, the first step in the synthesis of NAD is the biochemical conversion of niacin to niacinamide, which then forms nicotinamide mononucleotide, an intermediate for NAD formation.

Riboflavin 5-phosphate is the redox co-enzyme FMN, converted in a single step by flavokinase to FAD, which is more frequently used than FMN. Flavokinase is regulated by thyroxin, and in adults hypothyroidism may be associated with riboflavin deficiency. In addition, Bio-3B-G? provides two complete coenzymes, pyridoxal 5-phosphate and thiamine pyrophosphate (also known as cocarboxylase).

Activation of vitamin B₆ involves the phosphorylation of pyridoxine (vitamin B₆) to pyridoxine phosphate and its subsequent oxidation to the coenzyme pyridoxal 5-phosphate, the activated form of vitamin B₆. Bound to albumin in the blood, pyridoxal 5-phosphate characterizes a major storage site and transporter for vitamin B₆. In the blood serum of healthy persons, pyridoxal 5-phosphate comprises from between 25% and 60% of the circulating vitamin B₆. The liver is the primary site of pyridoxal 5-phosphate formation. Thus it is not surprising that up to 90% of people with liver disease, like cirrhosis, are deficient in vitamin B₆.

Due to the fact that Bio-3B-G? supplies three times the amount of thiamine (B₁) pyrophosphate and 100% RDA of the B vitamin group, including B₂, B₃, B₆ and B₁₂, it may be a beneficial adjunct in nutritionally supporting normal homeostatic mechanisms, particularly during stress and/or with elevated blood pressure.
