Cortico-B5B6 - 180 Tablets

Cortico-B5B6 provides a significant source of pantothenic acid and pyridoxine, which are also known as vitamins B5 and B6. These essential nutrients are part of the B vitamin complex necessary for carrying out many functions in your body.

Vitamin B5 provides support for metabolizing the fatty acids, carbohydrates, and proteins in your diet in order to release fuel for energy. In addition, it’s in the formation of antibodies, production of red blood cells, conversion of cholesterol into the hormones that deal with stress, and the production of acetylcholine; acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter responsible for directing the activity in the synapses of your nervous system and skeletal muscles.

Meanwhile, Vitamin B6 is necessary for producing the neurotransmitters (chemicals that aid communication between brain cells) serotonin and norepinephrine, as well as for myelin formation. Norepinephrine, which is an adrenal hormone as well as a neurotransmitter, helps regulate your heart; it also affects your attention span and the fight-or-flight response. Serotonin helps regulate your mood, gastric function, and perception of pain. Myelin is the nerve fiber lining that protects and insulates neurons, nerve cells in your brain; myelin damage may lead to serious health problems.

In addition to vitamins B5 and B6, Metagenics’ Cortico-B5B6 also contains magnesium, which is important for a number of vital functions. Magnesium aids in muscle and nerve function, promoting cardiovascular health, maintaining your immune system, and keeping bones strong. The mineral is also involved in energy and protein synthesis.

Another active ingredient in this supplement is a citrus bioflavonoid complex. Each bottle of Cortico-B5B6 by Metagenics contains 180 tablets, which should last you for eight months when taken at the recommended dosage of one tablet daily.
