Product Description

Vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid or niacinamide, is a water-soluble vitamin. It plays a variety of important roles in the body. First, vitamin B5 is necessary for the synthesis of conjugated bile acids (cholesterol degradation products) and insulin. It is involved in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and proteins, helping the body extract energy from food. Vitamin B5 is also a key component of biosynthesis, participating in the synthesis of many important substances in the body, such as hemoglobin, neurotransmitters (such as acetylcholine), hormones and cholesterol. Additionally, it helps stabilize cell membranes, which are essential for the proper function of the nervous system. The human body needs to take in enough vitamin B5 to maintain normal physiological functions. Although vitamin B5 is widely found in many foods such as poultry, fish, dairy products, whole grains, legumes, and vegetables, cooking and processing can lead to loss of vitamin B5. Insufficient intake can lead to vitamin B5 deficiency symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, depression, blood sugar instability, digestive problems, and more. However, under normal dietary conditions, vitamin B5 deficiency is relatively rare because it is widely found in many common foods. In summary, vitamin B5 is a very important vitamin for good health, contributing to energy metabolism, biosynthesis and proper functioning of the nervous system. Ensuring a balanced diet and getting enough vitamin B5 is an important aspect of maintaining good health.
