PANTOTHENIC ACID
THE BREAKDOWN
  • Maintains a proper and healthy nervous system
  • Strengthens the immune system
  • Strengthens red blood cells
  • Replenishes adrenal glands
  • Breaks down cholesterol and fatty acids


IN THE BODY
Liver often absorbs Pantothenic acid.


WITHDRAWALS
Other than 3rd world countries where starvation is rampant, is extremely uncommon to find withdrawal symptoms in most humans. However, the signs of deficiency are graying hair and lack of proper growth.


NATURAL FORMS
Natural sources of Pantothenic Acid can be found in wheat germ, dairy, meat whole grains, liver and yeast.


DAILY DOSE
  • Men 5 mg
  • Women 5 mg

OVER DOSAGE
Although not common, symptoms may include inability to urinate, diarrhea, drowsiness or depression.


FIGHTING AGENTS
If you are taking sleeping pills, drinking large amounts of alcohol or estrogen, you may not be receiving the amount of Pantothenic Acid you think you are.


SUPPLEMENTS
Often used for lowering high blood pressure, as well as lowing cholesterol, pantothenic acid also works when dealing with stress, headaches and nerve disorders.
