PANTOTHENIC
ACID
Pantothenic acid is a member
of the water soluble B vitamin
family and is essential for growth, reproduction, and normal physiological
functions. It is a precursor of two coenzymes that are needed to metabolize
carbohydrates and fats. These same coenzymes are vital for the production
of vitamin D, certain hormones,
hemoglobin (for healthy red blood cells), and the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
Acetylcholine, in turn, plays an important role in cell division, building
cell membranes, DNA replication, and cell signaling. Pantothenic acid is
required for the production of adrenal hormones, which help control the
body's reaction to stress. It is involved in healing wounds due to its
function in synthesizing antibodies.
Although all foods contain
some pantothenic acid, the best dietary sources include liver and kidney,
yeast, egg yolk, broccoli, fish and shellfish, chicken, milk, yogurt, legumes,
mushrooms, avocado, and sweet potatoes. Cooking, processing techniques,
freezing, and canning destroy a significant amount of pantothenic acid
in most foods. If your diet does not include a generous quantity of raw
foods, it would be wise to make sure your vitamin supplement includes an
adequate amount of pantothenic acid, such as that found in Daily Vita Plus.
Pure pantothenic acid deficiency
is very rare. Individuals with certain conditions that contribute to a
general vitamin deficiency would require increased supplementation of this
important vitamin. This group would include persons taking sulfa drugs,
sleeping pills, or birth control pills, individuals who have malabsorption
diseases or have had portions of the gastrointestinal tract removed, people
who chronically abuse alcohol or other drugs, those who are under excessive
amounts of stress (including debilitating illnesses or recovery from burns
or surgery), and anyone who smokes. In addition, the elderly often have
poor diets and decreased vitamin absorption, and would definitely benefit
from a daily vitamin regimen that includes pantothenic acid.

cornea scar deformation, used in treatments of jellyfish and insect stings,
used to treat edemas, inflammatory processes, and in the acceleration of

difficulties.
