Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)
Vitamin B5, known as Pantothenic Acid, is essential for synthesizing and metabolizing proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Found in chicken, beef, potatoes, and broccoli, it aids in utilising other vitamins and improves the body’s resistance to stress. The recommended daily intake is 5 mg for adults. Deficiency is rare but can cause symptoms like fatigue and insomnia. It is involved in the production of red blood cells and steroid hormones.
