The Stress Vitamin, B5
I’m really loving this IMA vitamin guide, and have shared it with so many people.
It breaks each vitamin down in a way that actually makes sense: what it does, what foods contain it, signs you may be low, and how people commonly supplement.
Today’s one is Vitamin B5, also called pantothenic acid
I didn’t know much about B5 up until now.
B5 gets its name from the Greek word meaning “from everywhere,” because it is found in lots of foods. But with modern food processing, low levels may be more common than people realise.
B5 is needed to make Coenzyme A, which is involved in energy, hormones, red blood cells, neurotransmitters, skin health, wound healing, stress response and even cholesterol support.
Foods rich in B5 include beef liver, sunflower seeds, chicken, tuna, avocado, mushrooms, sweet potato, lentils, eggs, milk and yogurt.
Signs you may be low can include fatigue, irritability, poor sleep, stomach upset, headaches, muscle cramps, numbness or burning in the hands and feet — including something called “burning feet” syndrome.
The guide also covers dosing, including pantethine as a more bioavailable form.

Reminder these guides are perfect to print out and share with family, friends, or to leave in your local library or your doctors waiting room 🙂
