Over the next few minutes, you’ll discover a list of 8 Foods Containing High Vitamin B5
Vitamin B5 may not be as popular as vitamin C, vitamin E, or even vitamin B12.
However, this vitamin is also important to take every day.
Vitamin B5 has many important functions.
This includes:
Convert food into glucose
Synthesize cholesterol
Forms hormones related to stress and sex
Forming red blood cells
Like all types of B vitamins, vitamin B5 can help the body break down fats, carbohydrates, and protein so that the body can use them for energy and rebuild tissues, muscles, and organs.
Here is a further explanation of some of the benefits of vitamin B5 that are well understood:
SYNTHESIZE COENZYME A
Vitamin B5 plays a role in synthesizing coenzyme A.
Coenzyme A is involved in the synthesis of fatty acids and is important for converting food into fatty acids and cholesterol.
Coenzyme A is also needed for the manufacture of sphingosine, a fat-like molecule that helps convey chemical messages in the body’s cells.
The liver requires Coenzyme A to safely metabolize several drugs and toxins.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Vitamin B5 helps maintain a healthy digestive system and helps the body use other vitamins, especially vitamin B2.
Vitamin B2 is known to help manage stress.
SKINCARE
Several studies have shown that vitamin B5 acts as a moisturizer on the skin and improves the healing process of skin wounds.
A study shows that vitamin B5 helps facial acne and reduces the number of facial blemishes associated with acne when taken as a dietary supplement.
Even so, getting this vitamin from food can also be beneficial for the skin.
LOWER CHOLESTEROL AND TRIGLYCERIDES
Several studies have shown that intake of vitamin B5 can help lower cholesterol and blood levels of triglycerides or fat.
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS (RHEUMATISM)
Some researchers have found that people with rheumatoid arthritis have lower levels of vitamin B5.
However, more evidence is needed to confirm these results.
Although it is rare, deficiency of vitamin B5 itself can cause a number of problems in the body.
Here are some of the dangers of vitamin B5 deficiency:
Fatigue
