What Is Vitamin B5?
Vitamin B5, also known as Pantothenic Acid, is naturally found across a wide variety of foods, including meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, wholegrains, legumes, mushrooms and avocados.
Its name originates from the Greek word pantothen, meaning “from everywhere”, reflecting its widespread occurrence in foods.
What Does Vitamin B5 Contribute To?
Vitamin B5 contributes to:
- Normal energy-yielding metabolism
- Normal mental performance
- Reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- Normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, Vitamin D and some neurotransmitters
Vitamin B5 contributes to normal energy metabolism rather than acting as a stimulant or directly providing energy.

The adult NRV for Vitamin B5 is 6mg. Each capsule provides 400mg, equivalent to approximately 6,667% NRV.
This makes it a high-strength supplement for customers specifically looking for a higher-dose Pantothenic Acid product rather than the smaller amounts typically found in multivitamin formulas.

Frequently asked questions
-
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) has several EU-authorised health claims. It contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, Vitamin D and some neurotransmitters, normal mental performance, and reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
-
The name comes from the Greek word 'pantothen', meaning 'from everywhere' — a reference to how widely distributed this vitamin is in nature. Pantothenic Acid is found in virtually all food groups, making isolated deficiency rare in people with a varied diet. The name was given when the vitamin was first identified in the 1930s.
-
The EU Nutrient Reference Value of 6mg is set to prevent deficiency in the general population. Higher doses are widely used in supplementation. Vitamin B5 is water-soluble and the body excretes what it does not use rather than storing it, making it well tolerated at higher doses. There is no established EU tolerable upper intake level for Pantothenic Acid.
