PABA

 
Description

Para-aminobenzoid acid is a water soluble vitamin that functions more like a chemical in the body. This coenzyme is a basic component of folic acid, aids in the absorption of pantothenic acid (B₅), and is involved in the chemical breakdown and utilization of protein.

PABA assists in the formation of red blood cells and helps maintain a healthy digestive system and intestinal flora. It is also an antioxidant and protects against sunburn and, possibly, skin cancer. In turn, PABA is good for maintaining healthy skin. This nutrient may help restore colour in and help prevent the greying of hair.
