what is functions and deficiencies of B5

Answer 15

Acyl carrier protein Acyl carrier protein is found in foods and releasespantothenic acid during digestion.
* Calcium pantothenate (supplements)
* Panthenol (supplements)Pantothenic acid is present is practically all food.Fortified cereals, beef and chicken liver, root vegetables, and whole grainsare rich sources of Pantothenic acid
