How much vitamin B5 should you take?

The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) varies by age and gender, but for adults, it is generally around 5 mg per day. Most people can obtain sufficient amounts through a balanced diet rich in whole grains, legumes, meat, eggs, and vegetables. Supplements are usually unnecessary unless recommended by a healthcare provider for specific health conditions. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.
