In humans, vitamin B5 plays a central role in energy production and healthy metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. Moreover, vitamin B5 is essential for the production of steroid hormones, neurotransmitter acetylcholine, melatonin and heme. Thereby, it is involved in the regulation of major bodily systems such as nerves, muscles and glands, healthy sleep-wake-rhythm and normal oxygen supply in tissues. Vitamin B5 deficiency is rare.
