Vitamin B5: The Hidden Fuel for Wound Healing

12 min8 februari 2026

Dr. G explains how pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) serves as the precursor to coenzyme A and powers cellular metabolism essential for wound healing, collagen and lipid synthesis, and skin barrier repair.

The episode reviews dietary sources, signs of deficiency, the topical provitamin dexpanthenol and its effects on hydration and barrier recovery, and how B5 fits into a broader approach to improving tissue regeneration in patients with high wound‑healing needs.
