What is Pantothenic Acid?
Pantothenic acid is a water-soluble B vitamin. The friendly bacteria located in the intestines can produce B5 for the body's own use. However, B5 is known as the anti-stress vitamin and most people in today's society can benefit from its supplementation. It supports the adrenal gland, where it aids in the production of hormones that help the body respond to stress, and the brain, where it produces neurotransmitters that are depleted in stressful situations.
It also forms antibodies, for proper functioning of the immune system, and aids in the processing of vitamins, fats, carbohydrates and proteins during digestion. All of these functions increase the body's energy production. Pantothenic acid can be used to treat anemia, depression, anxiety and fatigue. One form of B5, pantethine lowers LDL ("bad") cholesterol while raising the levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol. This effect is especially seen in individuals with diabetes.
B Vitamins
All of the B vitamins work together and are best used by the body in a B complex, which is why many B complex supplements include a small dose of B5 in them. Most B vitamins are water-soluble and any extra from large doses is flushed out of the body easily, therefore it's best to take lower dosages of the B complex several times a day than one larger dose. Spray or sublingual forms of B vitamins are easily absorbed, as are capsules - if your digestion is healthy, then the tablet form is usually suitable for most people.
If additional supplementation of pantothenic acid is needed it can be taken in addition to a B complex. CALCIUM pantothenate is another form of B5 that is commonly used. Panthenol is a form of B5 that is often added to topical products, such as those for hair care. Pantethine is the most stable and active form of B5 and is the only form of B5 known to regulate cholesterol.
B5 interacts with sulfa drugs, caffeine, sleeping pills, estrogen and alcohol. B5 is destroyed by heat, canning practices and other food processing techniques.
