B5

Vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid, is a vital nutrient that helps your body convert food into energy. It supports the production of hormones and red blood cells, and aids in synthesizing fatty acids, which are important for healthy cell function. B5 is found in a wide variety of foods such as eggs, meats, whole grains, and vegetables. While deficiencies are rare, adequate intake is essential for overall energy metabolism, healthy skin, and proper functioning of the nervous system. It’s a water-soluble vitamin, meaning any excess is usually excreted through urine.
