PYRIDOXAL 5’-PHOSPHATE (VITAMIN B6) is involved in the metabolism of amino acids
and glycogen. It is a coenzyme in the synthesis of nucleic acids, hemoglobin,
neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine and gama-aminobutyric
acid) and many other compounds. P 5’-P is a coenzyme for over 100 enzymes,
including the transaminases (some liver specific) and decarboxylases. Along with
folic acid and vitamin B12, vitamin B6 lowers homocysteine, an independent risk
factor for cardiovascular dysfunction.
FOLIC ACID, like vitamin B6, is a member of the B vitamin family. B vitamins play
key roles in healthy liver detoxification pathways. Folic acid appears to be more
important than either B6 or B12 in reducing elevated homocysteine levels.
Folate specializes in one carbon or methyl transfers. As such, it aids the liver
in establishing healthy methyl transfer functions. Folate is essential for DNA
replication and repair. It is indicated for the prevention of some birth defects.
VITAMIN B12 is part of the trinity of B vitamins shown to reduce the risk of
arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease. It does this through its role in
lowering homocysteine levels. B12, along with folate, is involved with DNA and
RNA synthesis, as well as genetic and neurological integrity. B12, folate, and
B6 are important cofactors in red blood cell production, as well as healthy
detoxification process in the liver.
CHOLINE is necessary for the structure and function of all cells. Choline is the
precursor to phosphatidyl choline, sphingomyelin, acetylcholine, and the methyl
donor betaine (trimethylglycine). A low choline diet can result in fatty infiltration of
the liver. Choline prevents fat deposition in the liver through its lipotropic action.
Other well known lipotropics include folic acid, vitamin B12, and methionine. Choline
supports liver function and may be helpful in some disorders of the liver.
