Vitamin B5. If you read the labels on your
Multiple B &
B Complex bottles, you should find it (or one of its derivatives) listed. Normally, we require very little, and can get it from our diets, but like vitamin B12, it is considered very safe, and is being found useful for a number of things.

Toxicity
Toxicity of pantothenic acid is unlikely. In fact, no Tolerable Upper Level Intake (UL) has been established for the vitamin.[17] Large doses of the vitamin, when ingested, have no reported side effects and massive doses (e.g., 10 g/day) may only yield mild intestinal distress, and diarrhea at worst.[8] It has been suggested, however, that high doses of pantothenic acid might worsen panic attacks in those with panic disorder by prolonging the duration until adrenal exhaustion.[citation needed]
There are also no adverse reactions known following parenteral or topical application of the vitamin.
