Pangamic Acid

 
Description

Vitamin B₁₅, or pangamic acid, is related to the B-complex vitamins. When first introduced, vitamin B₁₅ had a reputation for increasing the energy levels of Russian athletes. However, this was not based on fact.

Vitamin B₁₅ is classified as a B-complex vitamin as it is obtained from the same foods as B vitamins. It has similar functions to the antioxidant vitamin E and is enhanced by taking vitamin E and vitamin A. Research on B₁₅ is limited, but it is known that B₁₅ increases oxygenation in the cellular system and it is good for central nervous disorders and heart disease.
