Pantothenic acid is necessary for the makeup of coenzyme A. This factor is necessary during the intermediary metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Since this nutrient has an enhancing effect upon the adrenal glands, it becomes an important factor during stressful conditions. This vitamin is so closely involved with others of the B-group that the B-complex group of vitamins should always be taken together as a unit. Singel dosages of isolated B-vitamins can cause a rapid deficiency in others. Once a balanced combination of all of the B-complex group is taken on a daily basis, then mega-doses of isolated B-vitamins can be administered for specific purposes without the fear of creating an imbalance or deficiency.
