Datos habituales

Datos habituales: Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is a water-soluble vitamin the body uses to make and break down fats and to turn food into energy; it is found in a wide range of foods, including chicken, eggs, mushrooms, avocado, and whole grains.
Ingesta baja: A pantothenic acid shortfall is rare because the vitamin is so widespread in foods, and is commonly discussed only in relation to very limited diets.
Ingesta más alta: Pantothenic acid from food and supplements has not been shown to cause harm, and no upper intake level has been set; very large supplemental amounts are sometimes linked to digestive upset.
