Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5)
60 capsules
Pantothenic acid is the most important component of coenzyme A (CoA). This enzyme is involved in the transport of fats to and from cells, as well as to the energy-producing compartments in cells.
In cells, CoA is essential for fatty acid transport and fatty acid metabolism. Pantothenic acid assists in the conversion of carbohydrates to glucose (to produce energy). It also helps the body to utilise stored fats for energy.
Pantothenic acid contributes to normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D and certain neurotransmitters, including acetylcholine.
It is a water-soluble vitamin and, like all other B vitamins, cannot be stored by the body. It must therefore be a standard part of the diet in order to avoid a deficiency.
