Pantothenic acid

Why do I need pantothenic acid?
Pantothenic acid, a vitamin found in plant and animal tissue, regulates your body's adrenal activity, antibody production, and the growth and metabolism of protein and fat. If you're pregnant and are deficient, your baby's growth may be slowed.
How much do I need?
The recommended daily allowance for an adult is 4 to 7 mg. No RDA has been established for pregnant women.

What are signs of a deficiency?
If you have a very severe deficiency--which is unlikely--you may have dry, flaky skin; fatigue and irritability; and, possibly, you may be infertile.
