WHAT IS PABA?
Did you know that Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is a naturally occurring, non-protein amino acid, that is also known as vitamin B10? Indeed, while PABA does belong to the B family of vitamins, unlike the other eight essential B’s, it is not considered an essential nutrient because the body can synthesize PABA from bacteria naturally present in the gut. In turn, PABA is used to synthesize folic acid (vitamin B9) inside the body, which is an essential nutrient. The most common dietary sources of PABA include organ meats like kidney and liver, as well as molasses, spinach, mushrooms, and whole grains.
PABA offers well-documented benefits to the skin and hair, which is why not only is it sold as an oral supplement, but it’s also frequently added to creams, lotions, moisturizers, and a variety of hair care products. One of the most interesting hair benefits of PABA is that it seems to prevent graying of hair associated with aging, as well as prevents premature wrinkles, and helps optimize skin tone and texture. As an important coenzyme to various metabolic processes, PABA has also been shown to support the gut microbiome and promote healthy digestion. Last but certainly not least, as a potent antioxidant, PABA offers solid antioxidant protection against free radical damage.
BENEFITS of PABA
- Boosts Antioxidant Protection
- Promotes Optimal Skin Health
- Supports Healthy Digestion
WHO NEEDS PABA?
PABA is most often recommended to treat skin conditions such as skin discoloration (vitiligo), skin blisters, hardening of the skin, and connective tissue (as seen in scleroderma), as well as weeping eczema. It’s also frequently recommended for male infertility and to support Peyronie's disease, a condition caused by the accumulation of fibrous scar tissue on the penis, which causes curved and painful erections. PABA has conclusively been shown to slow or halt the progression of Peyronie’s disease. Chronic digestive disorders such as chronic constipation, can also greatly benefit from PABA supplementation.
PABA POTENCY & FORMATS
PABA Potency
There is no standard dose for PABA and recommended dosing can vary wildly depending on the intended clinical use. PABA supplements are available in a range of potencies, anywhere from 100 to 1,000 mg and more.
PABA Formats
PABA can be purchased in tablets, capsules (gelatin or veggie), as well as powder form. PABA is also available for topical use, added to ointments, creams, serums, and hair care products.
GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR PABA SUPPLEMENT
Because PABA absorbs UVB radiation from the sun and converts it to infrared (IR) radiation (heat), it was long used in sunscreen, though this use has greatly declined over the years because of the potential for allergic dermatitis, photosensitivity, as well as over fears of endocrine disruption (specifically thyroid disruption).
