B5 - Pantothenic acid

Pantothenic acid for breaking down fatty acids

Vitamin B5, or pantothenic acid, occurs naturally in foods, is added to foods, and is available as a supplement. It is used to make coenzyme A (CoA), a chemical compound that helps enzymes build and break down fatty acids as well as perform other metabolic functions, and acyl protein, which is also involved in the building of fats. Pantothenic acid is found in a wide variety of foods. Bacteria in the gut can also produce some pantothenic acid but not enough to meet nutritional needs.
