Vitamin B5

Vitamin B5, or pantothenic acid, is a light yellow, viscous, water-soluble oil.
It is widely distributed in nature, found in both plants and animals. It was first isolated in 1933. In treatment, it is used in the form of a calcium salt. It is a significant factor in human nutrition, and a normal diet provides the necessary amount of this vitamin.
It is used in the treatment of inflammatory processes of the gastrointestinal tract, burns, and slow-healing wounds. It provides strength to the body, influences hormone function, and establishes proper metabolism within the organism.
It is introduced into the body as coenzyme A and is released as pantothenic acid in the small intestine, subsequently participating in the synthesis of various coenzymes in the body.
A deficiency has not been observed in humans.
