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 as well as its excretion via the kidney.
Alcohol
High alcohol consumption leads to loss of pantothenic acid in tissues because ethanol (ethanol) decreases the utilization of pantothenic acid.
