Pantothenic Acid Info And Products
Vitamin B5 For Energy And More

1. What is it and where does it come from?

Pantothenic acid, or vitamin B5, is very plentiful in many of the foods we eat, and is found in all living things. In fact, scientists derived its name from the Greek root "panthos," which means "everywhere."

Most grains, vegetables, and meats contain pantothenic acid, as well as liver, yeast, salmon, eggs, and dairy products. It is also available as a high quality 92% pantothenic acid, 8% calcium enriched supplement from Bodybuilding.com.

2. What does it do and what scientific studies give evidence to support this?

In addition to being involved in the Krebs cycle of energy production, Vitamin B5 is involved in the production of red blood cells and adrenal hormones. The body converts it to a catalyst called coenzyme A. This catalyst is very critical to energy production in the body. Vitamin B5 works with the other B vitamins to help in the ATP making process. It is ATP that accelerates the cells in the body, giving them the energy to run on. According to studies, vitamin B5 may help maintain cholesterol levels and healthy triglycerides levels in the body that are already in normal range, additionally.

3. Who needs it and what are some symptoms of deficiency?

[ Top 5 Sellers ]
 1. AST Multi Pro 32X  
 2. BrainQuicken BodyQuick  
 3. Dymatize Liquid L-Carnitine  
 4. Twinlab Daily One Caps  
 5. Palo Alto Labs Reset-A.D.  
Having a high level of energy is important to bodybuilders as athletes and just about anyone who is trying to get in shape! Although no one is usually deficient of Vitamin B5, supplementation can help many people.

4. How much should be taken? Are there any side effects?

Between 10 and 20 mg of Vitamin B5 is a sufficient amount and would not cause any side effects. Even if vitamin B5 is consumed in very large quantities, the worst result would be diarrhea.
