Pantothenic acid, also known as pantothenic acid and vitamin B5, is commonly found in living organisms and is not needed by all living things. It is in the form of a light yellow viscous oil, soluble in water and acetic acid, and can survive in acidic and alkali environments. Easily decomposes when heated over time. In the human body, it has the function of producing antibodies and plays a very important role in relieving stress and maintaining the health of hair, skin and blood. Physiological functions

1. It can maintain the normal development of various organs of the human body and the development of the central nervous system, and maintain the normal operation of nerves and muscles.

2. It can work together with folic acid and vitamin B6*** to produce antibodies to resist pathogens such as colds and influenza.

3. Relieve the toxic side effects of multiple antibiotics, symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and nausea, and reduce the pain symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

4. Maintain the normal function of the adrenal glands and eliminate symptoms such as fatigue.

5. It is an indispensable substance for converting ingested fats and sugars into energy, and is also an essential substance for the human body to utilize para-aminobenzoic acid and choline. Lack of performance

1. Causes incoordination of motor functions. Children under 12 years of age lack pantothenic acid, which can cause headaches and fatigue, incoordination of motor functions, numbness and pain in toes, shaking when walking, slow sensation, muscle spasms, gastrointestinal disorders, tachycardia, and decreased blood pressure.

2. Fever in the soles of the feet. A lack of pantothenic acid will cause fever in the soles of the feet. This is because endocrine disorders caused by insufficient pantothenic acid, such as hypoglycemia caused by insulin, will increase its sensitivity.

3. Other symptoms The lack of pantothenic acid leads to a decrease in the formation rate of antibodies, which can easily lead to upper respiratory tract infections. Patients may also experience symptoms such as numbness and tingling in the limbs, muscle spasms, fatigue, loss of appetite, indigestion, abdominal pain, vomiting, headache, depression, insomnia and other symptoms. Causes of deficiency

Because pantothenic acid is widely present in food, simple pantothenic acid deficiency rarely occurs. Pantothenic acid deficiency may occur when a variety of nutrients are deficient. In addition, taking the antagonist ω-methylpantothenic acid may cause pantothenic acid deficiency. Food sources

Pantothenic acid has a wide range of food sources in nature. It exists in animal and plant cells in free or combined form, and is combined with animal and plant tissues.

Yeast contains the largest amount of pantothenic acid. Others such as animal kidneys and hearts, eggs, fish, green leafy vegetables, beer, nuts, unrefined molasses, cereal products, etc. also contain pantothenic acid. People who need to be supplemented

1. If patients with rheumatoid arthritis can increase a small amount of pantothenic acid every day, the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis can be reduced.

2. For those who are mentally stressed or under great mental pressure, pantothenic acid can help the body secrete anti-stress hormones, so it can calm nervous emotions and improve people's resistance to stress. Once the mental stress is high, it will reduce the body's ability to absorb pantothenic acid, so it should be supplemented in appropriate amounts.

3. Heavy drinkers who drink heavily over a long period of time have a reduced ability to absorb pantothenic acid. It is easy to cause pantothenic acid deficiency, so it is best to consume more than ordinary people according to doctor's advice.

4. Women taking birth control pills will affect the body's absorption of pantothenic acid. Therefore, women who are taking birth control pills should pay special attention to their intake of pantothenic acid.

5. Smoking by heavy smokers will accelerate the consumption of nutrients in the body and affect the body's absorption and utilization of nutrients. Therefore, long-term heavy smokers should supplement pantothenic acid more than ordinary people to avoid deficiency symptoms.

6. People who often feel tingling in their hands and feet. When there is insufficient pantothenic acid in the human body, one of the obvious symptoms is a tingling sensation in the hands and feet. At this time, if you add an appropriate amount of pantothenic acid and combine it with other B vitamins, the symptoms of discomfort can be improved. What you need to know about supplies

1. The effect will be better if you take other B vitamins at the same time as you take pantothenic acid.

2. If food is processed too finely, at too high a temperature, canned or frozen, pantothenic acid in the food will be lost.

3. When consuming pantothenic acid, avoid caffeine, sulfonamides, sleeping pills, estrogens, alcohol, etc., as they destroy pantothenic acid.
