What it is

Vitamin B-5, also known as pantothenic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that is essential for human health. It is found naturally in many foods, including whole grains, meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products. It can also be produced synthetically for use in supplements and fortified foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add Vitamin B-5 to foods as a nutrient supplement, often in energy drinks, sports drinks, and plant-based beverages. It plays a role in energy metabolism and is sometimes included in products marketed for their health or performance benefits.

Health notes

Pantothenic acid is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient. It is an essential nutrient, meaning the body needs it to function properly. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated pantothenic acid. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intakes.

Allergen info

Vitamin B-5 is not one of the FDA's major allergens and does not contain gluten.
