Pantothenic acid was not included in the National Nutrition Survey II (2008). Regarding the intake of pantothenic acid in the German population, data exist from the 2004 Nutrition Report of the German Nutrition Society (DGE). These data on pantothenic acid intake are based on estimates and only reflect the average intake. No statements can be … Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): Supply Situation
The intake recommendations (D-A-CH reference values) of the German Nutrition Society (DGE) presented below are aimed at healthy people of normal weight. They do not refer to the supply of sick and convalescent people. Individual requirements may therefore be higher than the DGE recommendations (e.g. due to diet, consumption of stimulants, long-term medication, etc.). Furthermore, … Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): Intake
Interaction of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) with other micronutrients (vital substances): Vitamin B1 and riboflavin The serum concentration of pantothenic acid as well as its excretion via the kidney is increased by vitamin B1 (thiamine) and riboflavin (vitamin B2), whereas vitamin C and vitamin A have no effect on the serum level of pantothenic acid … Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): Interactions
The United Kingdom Expert Group on Vitamins and Minerals (EVM) last evaluated vitamins and minerals for safety in 2003 and set a so-called Safe Upper Level (SUL) or Guidance Level for each micronutrient, provided sufficient data were available. This SUL or Guidance Level reflects the safe maximum amount of a micronutrient that will not cause … Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): Safety Assessment
Intermediary metabolism Pantothenic acid, in the form of coenzyme A, is involved in manifold reactions in intermediary metabolism. This includes energy, carbohydrate, fat, and amino acid metabolism. It is characterized by the metabolic pathways occurring at the interfaces of anabolic and catabolic metabolism. anabolic – building up – processes include the enzymatic synthesis of large-molecule … Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): Functions
