Vitamin B5 – Recommended Daily Allowance: 5 mg.

Symptoms of Deficiency

Numbness/burning sensations in extremities, dermatitis, diarrhoea.

Dietary Sources

Good Dietary Sources of Vitamin B5:

  • meat,
  • whole grain cereals,
  • broccoli.

Vitamin B5 and the Brain

Pantothenic acid is an essential nutrient that supports an important neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. The latter is sometimes called ‘the memory chemical’ because of the role it plays in brain function.

This vitamin is a substrate for the synthesis of the ubiquitous coenzyme A (CoA). Beyond its role in oxidative metabolism, CoA contributes to the structure and function of brain cells via its involvement in the synthesis of cholesterol, amino acids, phospholipids, and fatty acids. Of particular relevance, pantothenic acid, via CoA, is also involved in the synthesis of multiple neurotransmitters and steroid hormones(1262).

Brain Specific Symptoms of Deficiency

Encephalopathy, behaviour change, demyelination.

Calcium Pantothenate

Another common supplemental form of the vitamin B5 is calcium pantothenate. Calcium pantothenate is often used in dietary supplements because, as a salt, it is more stable than pantothenic acid.
