vitamin B5
Coenzyme A precursor
Vitamin B5, also called pantothenic acid, is a B-complex vitamin essential for converting food into energy and synthesizing hormones and cholesterol.
Found widely in foods—meat, vegetables, grains, eggs—deficiency is rare.
The name comes from Greek *pantos* (everywhere), reflecting its presence in nearly all foods.
