VITAMIN B5
Vitamin B5 is a water-soluble, B Complex vitamin. B5 was discovered and named in 1939 when it was isolated from rice husks. Vitamin B5 is named for the Greek word Panthos that means "everywhere". Pantothenic Acid is found more or less everywhere, from plants and animals to humans. Natural sources of B5 include: eggs, meats, whole grains, and nuts. Vitamin B5 is used by our bodies to release energy from the foods we eat. B5 also plays a role in tissue generation, creation of antibodies and the healing process.
Vitamin B5 plays an important role in the secretion of hormones, such as cortisone because of the role it plays in supporting the adrenal gland. These hormones assist the metabolism, help to fight allergies and are beneficial in the maintenance of healthy skin, muscles and nerves.
Pantothenic acid is also used in the release of energy as well as the metabolism of fat, protein and carbohydrates. It is used in the creation of lipids, neuro transmitters, steroid hormones and hemoglobin. Pantothenic acid is also helpful to fight wrinkles as well as graying of the hair.
When vitamin B5 is in short supply, symptoms like fatigue, headaches, nausea, tingling in the hands, depression, personality changes and cardiac instability are reported.
Frequent infection, fatigue, abdominal pains, sleep disturbances and neurological disorders including numbness, paresthesia (abnormal sensation such as "burning feet" syndrome), muscle weakness and cramps are also possible indications that this nutrient is in short supply. Biochemical changes include increased insulin sensitivity, lowered blood cholesterol, decreased serum potassium, and failure of adrenocorticotropin to induce eosinopenia.
What Are B Vitamins?
B vitamins are a complex of water-soluble vitamins. They are called "B Complex" because you do not find any one of them in a specific food or living tissue without the others being present. B vitamins complement each other. They are responsible mainly for the health and maintenance of nerves, eyes, digestion and skin, as well as the processing of carbohydrates, fat and protein, growth, the production of hormones and digestive enzymes, prevention of anaemia, maintenance of the sex glands, sebaceous glands and bone marrow.
Because of their solubility they cannot be stored in the body, so whatever is not utilized is rapidly excreted. However, a certain balance is advisable making a B Complex supplement ideal rather than taking large amounts of just one or two B vitamins. The B-complex vitamins are a group of similarly structured compounds, which is why they are referred to as a "Complex" vitamin. This complex of vitamins consists of B1 (thiamine HCL), B2 (riboflavin 5-phosphate and riboflavin HCL), B3 flush free (inositol hexanicotinate) and Niacinamide, B5 (D-pantothenic acid, calcium), B6 (pyridoxal 5-phosphate and pyridoxine HCL) and, B7 (biotin), B12 (cyanocobalamine), and folic acid.
B Vitamins & Stress
Many people today do not realize that stress and anxiety are often the result of acute deficiency of B vitamins. Combined with environmental toxins and daily routine, stress levels can be avoided with adequate supplementation of B vitamins.What the body does not use is eliminated in urine, which means a continuous supply is required. The key is to comprehend the role of B vitamins and the prevention of stress. A deficiency of B vitamins causes over-tiredness and anxiety that can increase stress levels. Complexes of B vitamins play essential roles and are responsible for producing energy for your body.
