Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) 500mg | 365 Tablets | Vit4ever

Vitamin B5 by Vit4ever

In almost every cell in your body, a tiny motor runs on coenzyme A, and for that you need vitamin B5. This substance, also known as pantothenic acid, is a water-soluble B vitamin that you get through food but that your body does not retain for long. Vit4ever makes it into a separate tablet with 500 mg per piece, a substantial dose for those who want to supplement specifically. One tablet per day is enough, and with 365 tablets in the jar, you are well covered for a whole year. The tablets are compact, easy to take, and completely plant-based in composition. Vitamin B5 belongs to the eight B vitamins that your body needs for various daily processes, from energy metabolism to the production of certain hormones.

Why coenzyme A plays such a key role

As soon as pantothenic acid enters your body, it is converted into coenzyme A through a number of steps. That molecule is needed for the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into usable energy. What many people do not know: the name pantothenic acid comes from the Greek word pantothen, which means something like everywhere, because the substance occurs in small amounts in almost all food. Vitamin B5 was discovered in the 1930s and has since belonged to the fixed group of B vitamins, which work closely together in the body. Coenzyme A acts as a kind of link: it couples with other molecules and thus makes reactions possible that would otherwise hardly or not occur at all. In daily practice, you hear about it less often than about vitamin C or D, for example.

500 mg per tablet

With 500 mg per tablet, this vitamin B5 is well above the reference intake, which for pantothenic acid is 6 mg per day. So this is a separate supplement with a high dose, intended for those who want to specifically supplement pantothenic acid instead of only through a multivitamin. Many people choose separate vitamin B5, for example, alongside a B-complex or a multivitamin. Pantothenic acid is highly water-soluble and is generally well tolerated. A frequently asked question is whether you can store vitamin B5 for later. The answer is no: because it is water-soluble, your body simply excretes an excess through the kidneys. That makes regular, daily intake more logical than an occasional large amount. This difference can be explained by the fact that pantothenic acid is well tolerated and an excess is simply removed instead of stored. One tablet at a fixed time of day helps to simply make supplementing a habit.

What vitamin B5 contributes to

There are permitted health claims for pantothenic acid. Vitamin B5 contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. In addition, pantothenic acid contributes to normal mental performance. And finally, pantothenic acid contributes to the normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D, and some neurotransmitters. One tablet per day is sufficient to specifically supplement this B vitamin, as a supplement to a varied diet. The difference with a multivitamin lies mainly in the amount: where a multivitamin often just reaches the reference intake, with this separate tablet you go much further. For most people, that is not a problem, precisely because the body simply discharges an excess.

Vegan and cleanly formulated

The composition has been deliberately kept short. The vitamin B5 comes from calcium D pantothenate, and as the only excipient, microcrystalline cellulose is included to be able to press the tablet. Nothing else: no magnesium stearate, no artificial colors or flavors, and no preservatives. The tablets are vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free, and are produced within the EU. A practical point to remember: pantothenic acid attracts moisture, so keep the jar dry and always close it tightly after use. This keeps the tablet firm and easy to dose, even after months of use from the same jar.

With this vitamin B5 from Vit4ever, you choose a plant-based tablet with 500 mg of pantothenic acid without unnecessary additives. The jar with 365 pieces covers a full year at one tablet per day. A clear choice for those who want to consciously and separately supplement pantothenic acid.
