About the Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)

The Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) is an individual blood test available at St Paul's Medical and Dental, our private practice at 5 Ave Maria Lane in the City of London, EC4M 7AQ. Your venous blood is taken by a registered nurse in an appointment of approximately 20 minutes. You can expect your results within 5 days", delivered securely to your email.

Vitamins are essential organic compounds that the body requires in small amounts for a wide range of biochemical processes. They play roles in energy metabolism, immune function, cell repair, bone health, and nervous system function. Most vitamins cannot be synthesised by the body in sufficient quantities and must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Vitamin deficiencies can develop gradually and may not produce noticeable symptoms until levels have been low for an extended period. Blood testing measures the circulating levels of specific vitamins, providing a quantified result that can be compared against established reference ranges to assess nutritional status.

St Paul's Medical and Dental is within walking distance of St Paul's tube station, Blackfriars, and City Thameslink. The clinic is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 8pm, making it convenient for City workers and local residents. All blood samples are processed by an accredited laboratory, and appointments can be booked online at a time that suits your schedule.
