Vitamin B5 for Hair, Skin, and Nails

Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is known for its supportive role in maintaining the health of hair, skin, and nails. It assists in preserving skin hydration, may help reduce the occurrence of acne, and contributes to red blood cell production, which in turn supports healthy nail growth and the appearance of strong, glossy hair.¹ ²

How Can Vitamin B5 Help Convert Food into Energy?

By supporting the synthesis of coenzyme A, pantothenic acid plays a vital role in cellular energy metabolism. It facilitates the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into usable energy, making it essential for maintaining overall metabolic function and energy production throughout the body.³

Vitamin B5 to Support Eye, Hair, and Skin Health

Beyond its roles in skin and hair health, pantothenic acid supports ocular health by contributing to the synthesis of antioxidants that protect eye tissues from oxidative damage. Additionally, it aids in tissue repair and regeneration, promoting overall maintenance and function of the eyes.⁴

Vitamin B5 Deficiency

Deficiency in pantothenic acid may result in symptoms such as fatigue, digestive disturbances, and dermatological issues including acne and hair thinning. Additionally, insufficient levels can impair adrenal gland function, potentially contributing to heightened stress sensitivity and reduced ability to manage physiological stress responses.⁵ ⁶
