10 Health Benefits of Vitamin B5

6. Help Produce Hormones and Hemoglobin

Vitamin B5 plays an important role in cell turnover and regeneration. It helps the body generate more hemoglobin by working with elements such as iron and copper. Vitamin B5 also helps process many of the macronutrients your body requires. For instance, it is essential for the metabolization of dietary fats, protein in both plant and animal sources, and turning carbohydrates into glucose, the energy that your body needs to keep going. It also helps produce amino acids and antibodies essential to a strong immune system. B5 also encourages the production of adrenal hormones.
