T. J. Clark Liquid Vitamin B5 d-Calcium
Pantothenate:
Pantothenic acid (d-Calcium Pantothenate) was
discovered in 1933 by Dr. R. J. Williams and was found to be a true vitamin
shortly thereafter. Its name is derived from the Greek word pantos that means
"everywhere", which is appropriate for this widely distributed vitamin.
PANTOTHENIC ACID (vitamin B5) plays a still-undefined role in the metabolism of
proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Pantothenic acid is an integral part of
coenzyme A and plays the important role of decarboxylating pyruvate in the
citric acid cycle. Clinically, pantothenic acid is necessary for the synthesis
of red blood cells, steroid metabolism, neuron activity, and stimulation of
antibody production.
Common sources of pantothenic acid are cheese,
corn, eggs, liver, meats, peanuts, peas soybeans, brewer's yeast, and wheat
germ.
Because of its wide occurance, pantothenic acid
deficiency is very rare unless specifically engineered for the purposes of
biochemical investigations.
Along with other B vitamins, pantothenic acid is required for converting food to
energy, building red blood cells, making bile, and synthesizing fats, adrenal
gland steroids, antibodies, acetylcholine and other neurotransmitters.
Pantothenic acid in dexpanthenol lotions and creams relieves the pain of burns,
cuts, and abrasions, reduces skin inflammations, and speeds wound healing.
The RDA for men is 10 mcg and women is 8 mcg.
