Also known as Vitamin B5, Pantothenic Acid plays a crucial role in boosting immune system function as well as helping the body break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. This supplement from Vitabase puts this integral vitamin into an easy-to-swallow tablet that contains no sugar, salt, yeast, wheat, corn, preservatives or artificial colors or flavors. The body needs Pantothenic Acid in order to produce porphyrin, which is essential to the development of red blood cells as well as certain hormones necessary to reduce stress and increase libido. Every cell in the human body needs Pantothenic Acid in order to produce a coenzyme necessary to metabolize fats and proteins into energy. A deficiency in Vitamin B5 can cause chronic fatigue, anxiety, and even depression. Many people also take Pantothenic Acid to treat headaches, nausea, and numbness in the extremities.
