HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin B5 Pantothenic Acid by LiveLong
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: pantothenic acid, a B vitamin your body needs to make energy and break down fats and carbohydrates. The powder form lets you mix it into liquid or food as you choose.
There are no other inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Pantothenic acid is effective for treating pantothenic acid deficiency. For radiation dermatitis (skin damage from radiation therapy), the evidence suggests it is not effective.
For allergic rhinitis (hay fever), alopecia areata (patchy hair loss), and alcoholism, we don't have enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Pantothenic acid taken by mouth is generally well tolerated with few side effects. The most common one reported is diarrhea.
Normal dietary amounts and the doses in prenatal vitamins are considered safe for most people. If you're thinking about taking high-dose supplements beyond what you'd get from food, check with your doctor first.
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, amounts found in food and prenatal vitamins are fine, but talk to your doctor before using high-dose supplements on your own.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for this ingredient.

General Statements
In addition to being utilized in the Krebs cycle, Pantothenic Acid is involved in the production of hematocrit (red blood cells) and adrenal hormones. Pantothenic Acid is quickly converted in Coenzyme A, which is essential to turn food into energy. Pantothenic Acid works with the other B vitamins to help in the production of ATP which fuels the cells in the body, giving them energy. According to studies, vitamin B5 may help maintain cholesterol levels and healthy triglycerides levels in the body that are already in normal range.
