-
Can you take pantothenic acid every day?
Yes, pantothenic acid can be taken daily as part of a balanced supplement regimen. It is a water-soluble vitamin, which means that excess amounts are generally excreted in urine rather than stored in the body. However, as with any supplement, it's important to follow the recommended dosage on the product label or as advised by a healthcare professional.

It plays a role in the metabolism of fats and cholesterol, which are important factors in cardiovascular health. Pantothenic acid is involved in the production of coenzyme A, which is crucial for energy metabolism and the synthesis of various compounds in the body, including some that are important for heart function.
-
Should I take pantothenic acid in the morning or at night?
Pantothenic acid can be taken at any time of day, as there's no strong evidence suggesting that timing significantly affects its absorption or effectiveness. However, some people prefer to take B vitamins, including pantothenic acid, in the morning because they are involved in energy metabolism. If you're taking a B complex supplement that includes pantothenic acid, you might find it more beneficial to take it earlier in the day to support energy levels throughout your waking hours.

The recommended daily intake of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) varies depending on age and other factors. For most adults, the adequate intake (AI) is 5 mg per day.
