Vitamin В5 (Pantothenic acid) (chromatography)
Vitamins are essential micronutrients necessary for the normal functioning of the body. They play an important role in regulating metabolism, maintaining the immune system, and preserving the health of the skin, nervous system, and other vital functions.
For accurate determination of vitamin levels in the body, OLYMP CDL uses high-performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS), which is considered the gold standard in vitamin testing. This method provides excellent sensitivity, accuracy, and allows for multi-component analysis.
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for normal metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, as well as for the synthesis of various hormones in the body.
When should the analysis be performed:
- When vitamin B5 deficiency is suspected, which may manifest itself in symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, and weakness.
- To assess vitamin levels in cases where diseases may interfere with its absorption.
Advantages of the HPLC-MS method:
This method allows you to accurately determine the level of pantothenic acid in the body, which is critical for diagnosing diseases associated with its deficiency.
