KPU®

KPU is a dietary supplement provided in a vegetarian capsule containing an optimal combination of zinc in the form of an organic compound (zinc citrate), vitamin B2, vitamin B6 (in the form of P-5-P and pyridoxine hydrochloride), biotin and manganese.

Zinc:

• contributes to the maintenance of normal macronutrient metabolism,
• helps maintain good vision,
• contributes to the maintenance of normal vitamin A metabolism,
• helps maintain healthy skin, nails and hair,
• supports normal DNA synthesis and is involved in cell division,
• supports normal protein synthesis,
• helps maintain normal carbohydrate metabolism and contributes to the maintenance of normal fatty acid metabolism,
• supports the maintenance of healthy bones,
• helps maintain normal immune system function.

Zinc is a cofactor for enzymes of protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism and nucleic acids, including alcohol dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase, DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase, alkaline phosphatase, and carboxypeptidase. It is involved in the activity of over 200 enzymes.

Vitamin B2 Riboflavin:

• helps maintain normal nervous system function,
• contributes to maintaining normal iron metabolism,
• helps protect cells from oxidative stress,
• helps maintain normal energy metabolism,
• helps maintain the normal condition of mucous membranes and healthy skin,
• helps maintain good vision,
• supports the normal red blood cell count,
• contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine:

• helps maintain normal psychological functions,
• helps maintain normal immune system function,
• contributes to the reduction of feelings of tiredness and fatigue,
• contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity (it is an essential cofactor in the metabolism of fatty acids),
• contributes to normal cysteine synthesis,
• supports the normal production of red blood cells,
• helps maintain normal energy metabolism,
• helps maintain normal nervous system function,
• helps maintain normal homocysteine metabolism,
• contributes to maintaining normal protein and glycogen metabolism.

The most biologically active form of Vitamin B6 is Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate. It is a coenzyme for over 100 enzymes responsible for all body activities, making B6 one of the most ‘hardworking’ B vitamins. Vitamin B6 is involved in the metabolism of amino acids and also plays an essential role in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and GABA, and in the metabolism of liver enzymes (AST, ALT). Vitamin B6 also contributes to the production of other vitamins, including niacin from tryptophan.

Biotin:

• helps maintain proper condition of the skin and mucous membranes,
• helps maintain normal hair and nail condition,
• helps maintain healthy bones and teeth.

Manganese:

• helps maintain normal energy metabolism,
• contributes to the maintenance of healthy bones,
• contributes to the normal formation of connective tissues,
• helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
