Vitamin B5 – the little-known secret for mental fitness and energy

Who wouldn’t want to remain mentally fit and capable at any age? Yet the daily flood of information eats away at our attention span. We find it harder to concentrate and to remember things. Vitamin B5 can be a welcome aid for our grey matter. It supports normal mental performance* and helps ensure the body has enough energy to realise its normal potential.

This water-soluble vitamin plays a key role as a precursor of coenzyme A (CoA) in numerous bodily functions. Hence the name pantothenic acid from the Greek pantothen, meaning “everywhere”. Vitamin B5 boosts cellular energy production and helps ensure efficient signalling between nerve cells so their signals reach the right place.

Pantothenic acid is food for the brain

As a precursor to coenzyme A (CoA), vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid, is involved in the production of important neurotransmitters that govern communication between nerve cells. It is also crucial for extracting energy from food.

Because it supports energy metabolism and is involved in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, vitamin B5 is often referred to as brain food. After all, our brain consumes around 20% of our total daily energy, even though it represents only about 2% of body weight. And without acetylcholine, communication between the brain and other parts of the body does not function properly.

Why should vitamin B5 be part of your daily diet?

Pantothenic acid is a water-soluble vitamin. It cannot be stored by the body and therefore needs to be taken daily through food or supplements. Vitamin B5 plays a decisive role in the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It helps convert food into energy and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

In which foods is vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) found?

Vitamin B5 is present in many foods, such as meat, eggs, wholegrain products, vegetables and legumes. About 300 grams of mushrooms cover the recommended daily requirement. The body can also produce small amounts of pantothenic acid in the gut.

However, despite its wide availability in foods, it can sometimes be difficult to obtain enough vitamin B5 from food alone due to food quality or individual increased needs. It is also broken down by cooking. In such cases, supplementation may be sensible.

Each Vitamin B5 capsule from Unimedica contains 500 mg pantothenic acid.
