Pantothenic Acid B5, Jarrow Formulas, 500 mg, 100 caps

Pantothenic Acid (also known as vitamin B5), is one of the most important vitamins for basic life processes. Vitamin B5 deficiency is quite rare, as it is found in a variety of foods. Even its name speaks for itself - pantothen (translated from Greek as 'from all sides').

Without pantothenic acid, you could not use fats, carbohydrates or proteins as energy sources. The body also cannot produce hormones without this vitamin, so the immune system can simply collapse. These are just some of the important functions of pantothenic acid.

The most important sources of pantothenic acid are cauliflower, shiitake mushrooms and crimini.

Pantothenic acid has a key function in energy production.

The most studied role of pantothenic acid in the human body is its incorporation into a molecule called coenzyme A. In fact In fact, coenzyme A is so important that one recent study suggested that the origin of life can be traced back to the evolution of this chemical.

Coenzyme A is central to energy metabolism, acting on carbohydrates, fats and proteins to be burned as fuel. Considering its important role, it is very good that pantothenic acid is so common in food. We could not exist without it.

Pantothenic acid – participant in fat metabolism

In addition to breaking down fats as fuel, pantothenic acid - via Coenzyme A molecules - is essential for fat storage. You will also need Coenzyme A for the production of cholesterol in the body, which in turn acts as a building block for key hormones that determine metabolic processes. (While many health organizations warn of the risks associated with excess cholesterol in the body, a certain amount of cholesterol is critical to health, as many cell types require cholesterol in their membranes, and cholesterol is also required for the production of certain hormones and the production of vitamin D).
