The B5 vitamin is also known as Pantothenic Acid. The B5 vitamin is the most prolific of all the vitamins and is found in every type of food. In fact, it is impossible for a person to consume less B5 vitamin than they need. That means that there is no little possibility that a person can have a B5 vitamin deficiency. For this reason, there is actually no recommended daily amount that health professionals can state as everyone obtains more than enough from their normal food consumption. However, even though there is no need to calculate a recommended daily allowance it does not mean that the B5 vitamin is not vital for a healthy body and mind. In fact, the B5 vitamin is essential for turning food into energy because the B5 vitamin turns fats and carbohydrates into energy.

A Loading Serving or Loading Dose is usually consumed within your first week to four weeks of starting a nutritional supplement.  This first week to four weeks is sometimes called the Loading Phase.  A Loading Serving is usually 2-4 times the amount of a nutritional supplement that you would normally take on a routine or regular basis (often called the Maintenance Serving or Maintenance Phase).  Note that I am NOT advocating ‘more is better’ because more is often NOT better.  Controlling your consumption of anything, chocolate, coffee, bananas, and yes, your nutritional supplement is extremely important to attain the maximum benefits without adverse reactions.  The Loading Phase with the corresponding Loading Dose is your way of controlling the process of saturating your body with nutrients.
