Pantothenic Acid

[Sir Guy of Frizzbourne]

Anyone know what pantothenic acid does for hair? I know it probably doesn't fight hairloss, but want to know.

Nevermind. It's just another name for vitamin B5.

The body uses pantothenic acid and other things like n-acetyl cysteine to produce coenzyme A (a crucial enzyme ) . Coenzyme A is critical to avoid excess oilyness of the skin and scalp

Technically, there's no such thing as "vitamin B5". The vitamin to which you refer is called pantothenic acid by doctors and scientists. "B5" is just a popular bastardization.

Yeah, I know. I just put "vitamin" in front of it so people would know that I was talking about a vitamin.
