B5 also known as pantothenic acid is the last of the b vitas. It gets its name from the greek word "panto" which means "everywhere". This is because pantothenic acid is found in a wide variety of foods.
These food groups include such things as YES, YES, YES, beef liver! I am so thrilled that it is found in beef liver. I never ever in a million years would have guessed that it would be in beef liver! Thank you baby Jesus! It is also in avocado, chicken, mushrooms, trout, peanuts, pink salmon, lima beans, milk, tomato sauce, almonds and oranges.
The daily amount of pantothenic acid is 5mg per day. It is available in oral supplements as calcium pantothenate.
Pantothenic acid supports adrenal function, can alleviate the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, to promote weight loss, to boost immunity and to speed up wound healing. To all of you sportos out there it has also been reported to enhance athletic performance by improving endurance and aerobic capacity. And we thought acid just made us see a purple haze! No sir!
Show up and make it count!
