What is Vitamin B5?

Vitamin B5, also known as Pantothenic Acid, is a water-soluble B vitamin.

It was discovered in 1933 by scientist Roger J. Williams and is an essential nutrient that must be obtained from food or supplements because the body cannot produce it in sufficient amounts.

What does Vitamin B5 do?

Pantothenic acid contributes to:

• Normal energy-yielding metabolism

• Normal mental performance

• Reduction of tiredness and fatigue

• Normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D and neurotransmitters

For this reason Vitamin B5 is commonly included in supplements as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
