Doctors have long been aware of the correlation between B5 levels and your body's ability to heal from wounds, cuts, and bruises. Vitamin B5 helps speed up the wound healing process and may even help the body fight off respiratory and other bacterial infections. Before supplementing with B5, consult with your doctor. B5 supplementation can cause diarrhea or an increased risk of bleeding. For this reason, people on blood thinners should take special care.
