Your metabolism determines how effectively your body extracts nutrients and energy from the foods you eat. If you have a "sluggish" metabolism, you might have low energy, some nutrient deficiencies, or cloudy thinking. Vitamin B5 helps with muscle regeneration and is essential for generating energy at a cellular level to use throughout the body. If you have a slow metabolism, you might be at risk for pre-diabetes. Increasing your B5 consumption can help reduce your risk for metabolic disorders.
