Vitamin B5, for B vitamins in one, due to widely distributed in plants and animals in the name. As a white powder, was one of 13 kinds of essential vitamins is a water-soluble vitamin, with manufacturing antibody function, anti-stress, anti-cold, anti-infection, prevent toxicity of certain antibiotics, elimination of postoperative abdominal distention, with maintenance hair, skin and blood health effects. Participate in the manufacture of energy in the body, and can control fat metabolism. The nutrients necessary for the brain and nervous. Helps secretion in vivo anti-stress hormones (steroids) are. Can keep the skin and hair health. Help-forming cells to maintain normal growth and development of the central nervous system. To maintain the normal function of the adrenal gland is very important. When the fat and sugar is converted into energy indispensable material. In the synthesis of antibodies, human use of amino acid and choline necessary material.

Pantothenic acid salts or alcohols and the like are absorbed in the intestine, probably by osmotic methods, Escaping into the small intestine.

Participation pyruvate, oxidation α- ketoglutarate and fatty acids, are also involved in fatty acid, anabolic steroids rhodopsin. Pantothenic acid in the body acts on the adrenal gland, gastrointestinal tract, skin and nerves. Pantothenic acid with an optically active, transparent solid when the incident polarization so that the polarization plane is rotated to the left or right of nature. With only the active D-pantothenic acid type, having the effect of vitamin, and L are no such activity, it can not be used as the vitamin.

Free of pantothenic acid has a pale yellow viscous oil, soluble in water and alcohol, insoluble in benzene and chloroform, to acid, alkali and heat and other instability. In those types of alcohol (panthenol) easier absorbed in the body absorbed immediately into acid.
