Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)

What we use: Calcium D-Pantothenate¹²

What it does:

  • Makes Coenzyme A (which your body needs for almost everything)¹²
  • Creates stress and sex hormones¹²
  • Breaks down fats, proteins, and carbs for energy¹²
  • Helps make red blood cells¹²

When you don't get enough:

  • Burning feet syndrome (your feet feel like they're on fire, especially at night)¹²
  • Feel super tired all the time¹²
  • Feel sad and depressed¹²
  • Stomach hurts¹²
  • Get sick more often¹²

Why we pay more for this form: The cheaper sodium form falls apart too easily. Since our nutrients go in the broth packets (not the noodles), they need to survive sitting on a shelf. The calcium form stays stable so you get real B5, not dust.
