Health Benefits And Vitamin B5


B5's Positive Effects
Since this vitamin supports the function of the adrenal glands a deficiency of this vitamin can lead to adrenal exhaustion. The brain is another organ in the body that utilizes a significant amount of pantothenic acid. The brain is the only part of the body that uses the highest form of B5, therefore individuals resulting in a decreased amount of B5can notice mood changes, such as fluctuations, and trouble with depression.

Heart patients can benefit by taking a daily dosage of B5. The recommended dosage for men and women is 15 milligrams.

For therapeutic needs doses can range from 50 - 250 milligrams to aid allergy suffers. When taking amounts up to 250 milligrams no signs of toxicity has been reported.

There have been numerous case studies of children who suffer with ADHD/ADD, during the study they where given certain nutrients. Some of these nutrients included: calcium, folic acid, vitamin C, B complex, pantothenic acid, zinc, and manganese.

Zinc was included as part of the regiment due to its ability to decrease hyperactivity. The children also were not allowed any foods, or to use any items continuing dye, or artificial flavorings. I can't imagine how a child could would stand so many restrictions, but in some cases the children had noticeable improvement.
