When our July 2013 catalogue went out we were overwhelmed with requests for Vitamin B5. This was probably due to David's article and Dr Atkins quote about Vitamin B5 where he states "results aren't just good. They're spectacular... the number one nutrient used in my practice"

We immediately got our team at the factory into action and manufactured capsules containing Vitamin B5.

Pantothenic acid (or Vitamin B5 as it is now commonly known) is found in human breast milk and nearly all foods, but mostly in only tiny amounts, although 100g of liver can supply one day's need.

About one third of pantothenic acid is destroyed if food is cooked at high temperatures and baking soda can also neutralise pantothenic acid in food.

Pantothenic acid is required by our immune system to support artery and blood health in the body. It also supports weight management, helps the body make better use of Omega 3 and helps protect the friendly probiotic bacteria in our intestines from damage by antibiotics.

Dr Robert Atkins pioneered the use of large dosages of pantothenic acid as a natural healer. He claims that pantothenic acid is "the single best substance on the planet for supporting optimal levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood."

Each capsule contains 480mg of calcium pantothenate - which contains 450mg of pantothenic acid and 40mg of calcium.
