Gall Pharma Pantothenic Acid Capsules are a food supplement containing 6 mg pantothenic acid per capsule. Pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5, contributes to normal energy metabolism and mental performance.
Pantothenic acid contributes
- to a normal energy metabolism
- normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D and some neurotransmitters
- contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- contributes to normal mental performance
Pantothenic acid plays an important role in growth and development. As part of coenzyme A, pantothenic acid is involved in over 100 metabolic reactions. Cereals lose vitamin B5 during the milling process. Some of the valuable vitamin B5 is also lost during storage or preparation (heat during cooking).
A deficiency of pantothenic acid can occur as a result of chronic illnesses (e.g. intestinal diseases such as ulcerative colitis), high alcohol consumption or radical slimming diets. Diabetics may be undersupplied, as they excrete more pantothenic acid; the same applies to chronic dialysis patients. Presumably more pantothenic acid is needed under stress. Possible deficiency symptoms can include fading of the hair colour, a weakened immune system, reduced effectiveness of antibodies and poor wound healing. In these cases, supplementation with pantothenic acid can be useful.
