Widely accepted as a benefit to dry skin, studies have also shown that the anti-inflammatory and healing properties can support in reducing symptoms of acne.

Energy Yielding Metabolism
B5 is known for generating energy from broken down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. This can help with both physical and mental energy, as well as effective weight management.

Tiredness and Fatigue
B5 is generally lesser known because its rare for people to have a deficiency of it. However, fatigue can be a symptom of many lifestyle factors – stress, anxiety, sleep deficiency, a poor diet – can all contribute. Vitamin B5 is understood to help reduce tiredness and fatigue by stimulating the production of steroid hormones, neurotransmitters and more effective processing of Vitamin D.

Pantothenic acid is crucial in the function of our adrenal gland – which is the bodies first responder to stress. An overactive adrenal gland can lead to low energy and fatigue (amongst other issues such as a weekend immune system).
