What is Vitamin B5?

Vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid, is a water-soluble B vitamin and an essential nutrient for your health. Vitamin B5 is responsible for helping to digest and metabolise proteins, carbohydrates and fats in order to give you energy.

What are the sources of Vitamin B5?

You can source Vitamin B5 in foods such as organ meats, (kidney and liver), chicken, beef, mushrooms, avocado, nuts, seeds and dairy milk. You can also get Vitamin B5 in fortified cereals.

It can also be found in porridge and broccoli.

How do they assist our bodies?

Vitamin B5 is an essential Vitamin for your body. It plays an essential role in making blood cells, as well as converting food into energy.

Vitamin B5 also helps with synthesising cholesterol, producing sex and stress hormones and maintaining a healthy digestive system. It also helps you to absorb other vitamins, such as Vitamin B2.

Why should we supplement our nutrition with Vitamin B5 at age 50 plus?

One of the most important roles that Vitamin B5 plays in your health and body, is to metabolise cholesterol. It can also play a part in lowering levels of LDL (Low-density Lipoproteins), or ‘bad’ cholesterol that is in your blood.

As age creeps up, so does the risk of higher cholesterol, which can be a concern with your overall health. Vitamin B5 can help to combat that.

Regarding menopause

As the menopause effects your hormone levels, taking Vitamin B5 will help as it helps with the production of oestrogen. Menopausal women also can suffer with extreme stress, which is something that Vitamin B5 can help to counteract.
