This product is formulated using an innovative, two-stage, timed-release technology. The formula is designed so that half of the Vitamin B-6 in this product is rapidly released when taken and the other half is gradually released over a period of up to 8 hours. The two-stage, timed-release technology extends the availability of B-6 to the body over a longer period of time. B-6 affects both physical and mental health and is involved in more bodily functions than almost any other single nutrient. B-6 is intended to provide nutritive support for the healthy formation of homocysteine, maintaining electrolyte balance, healthy red blood cell formation and much more.
