General Description

Vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid (PA), is a water-soluble Vitamin B and an essential nutrient. All animals require pantothenic acid in order to synthesize coenzyme A (CoA) – essential for fatty acid metabolism – as well as to, in general, synthesize and metabolize proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It also plays a vital role in the development of the central nervous system, steroid secretion, skin and hair health, and antibody synthesis. Human deficiency is very rare, because at least small quantities of pantothenic acid are found in nearly every food. The adequate intake (AI) level has been set at 1.8 mg/day for infants, 3 mg/ day for children, 5 mg/day for adults and 7 mg/day for pregnant and lactating women.
