Personalize your IV therapy with Vitamin B5, also known as Pantothenic Acid, an essential member of the B-complex vitamins. Vitamin B5 plays a crucial role in converting food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which the body uses for energy. Along with other B-complex vitamins, B5 is vital for metabolizing fats and proteins and is essential for maintaining healthy skin, hair, eyes, and liver. It also supports proper nervous system function, making it a key nutrient for overall well-being.
Vitamin B5 is particularly important for the production of red blood cells and sex and stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands. These small glands, located atop the kidneys, are responsible for producing hormones that help manage stress and regulate various bodily functions. Pantothenic Acid also supports a healthy digestive tract and aids the body in utilizing other vitamins, particularly Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin).
Sometimes referred to as the "anti-stress" vitamin, Vitamin B5 is believed to help the body cope with stress, though concrete evidence is still lacking. Your body also needs Pantothenic Acid to synthesize cholesterol, and a derivative of Pantothenic Acid called Pantethine is being studied for its potential to lower cholesterol levels.
Vitamin B5 deficiency is rare, but when it occurs, it may cause symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, depression, irritability, vomiting, stomach pains, burning feet, and upper respiratory infections.
Each dose of Vitamin B5 in our IV therapy contains 250 mg, with the option to increase up to 750 mg per session. During your appointment, your IV therapist can tailor the dosage to meet your specific health needs, ensuring that your therapy is customized for maximum benefit.
