Viridian Vitamin B5 350mg

Viridian Vitamin B5 350mg is a high-potency supplement providing pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) at a meaningful therapeutic 350mg dose per capsule. Pantothenic acid is an essential B vitamin that plays a central and indispensable role in energy metabolism, fatty acid synthesis, adrenal gland function, and the production of key biochemical compounds that regulate a vast array of physiological processes throughout the body.

The primary role of vitamin B5 is as a precursor to coenzyme A (CoA) — one of the most important coenzymes in human metabolism. Coenzyme A is involved in over 100 different enzymatic reactions across virtually all metabolic pathways, including the citric acid cycle (the primary energy-producing pathway), beta-oxidation of fatty acids for energy, synthesis of steroid hormones, production of cholesterol and bile acids, and acetylation reactions essential for normal cellular regulation. Without adequate pantothenic acid, these fundamental metabolic processes are impaired.

Vitamin B5 is particularly associated with adrenal gland function and the stress response. The adrenal glands, which produce cortisol and other stress hormones, have the highest concentration of pantothenic acid of any organ in the body. During periods of sustained physical or psychological stress, pantothenic acid is heavily utilised and requirements increase substantially. Supplementation may support adrenal resilience, energy levels under stress, and recovery from adrenal fatigue.

B5 also contributes to normal synthesis of vitamin D and some neurotransmitters, supports wound healing, and plays a role in maintaining healthy skin through its effects on fatty acid synthesis and ceramide production. This supplement contains 100% active ingredients, no artificial fillers, and is suitable for vegans. Produced in the UK by Viridian.
