Jarrow Formulas Pantothenic Acid 500, 100 Caps
Jarrow Formulas Pantothenic Acid Helps In Metabolic Support And Energy Production. Pantothenic Acid is a water-soluble B vitamin typically found in meat, eggs, legumes, mushrooms, broccoli and royal jelly. In the body, pantothenic acid is concentrated in the liver, adrenal gland, kidney, brain, and heart. Pantothenic acid is utilized by cells to synthesize Coenzyme A (CoA), which is essential for the production of energy via the Krebs Cycle. Pantothenic acid is also involved in intracellular protein metabolism and supports the wound healing process. Alcohol reduces pantothenic acid in tissues and impairs its metabolism. It is one of eight water-soluble B vitamins. All B vitamins help the body to convert carbohydrates into glucose (sugar), which is "burned" to produce energy. These B vitamins, often referred to as B complex vitamins, are essential in the breakdown of fats and protein. B complex vitamins also play an important role in maintaining muscle tone in the gastrointestinal tract and promoting the health of the nervous system, skin, hair, eyes, mouth, and liver.
In addition to playing a role in the breakdown of fats and carbohydrates for energy, Vitamin B5 is critical to the manufacture of red blood cells as well as sex and stress-related hormones produced in the adrenal glands (small glands that sit atop of the kidneys). Vitamin B5 is also important in maintaining a healthy digestive tract and it helps the body use other vitamins (particularly B2 [riboflavin]) more effectively. It is sometimes referred to as the "anti-stress" vitamin because it is believed to enhance the activity of the immune system and improve the body's ability to withstand stressful conditions.
