and B-5, in the pantethine form...B-5 is converted into acetyl CoA, a substance critical to the conversion of glucose into energy. It also helps take fatigue out of the adrenals without overstimulating them.
When pantothenic acid enters our bodies, it forms a substance call pantethine. Pantethine is a more stable disulfide form (or a double bond) of pantothenic acid.
It is also a more active metabolic substrate that is converted into an enzyme called "Co-Enzyme A" (CoA). CoA plays a critical role in the metabolism and breakdown of the three essential micronutrients, namely proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
** The above is attributed to Dr. Wilson and Dr. Lam.

C and B-5 are all you need by No Unicorns 14 year 1 of 2 (50%)
Vitamin C is the most important mineral needed for adrenal metabolism. The body uses Vit. C to make cortisol and the more that is made, the more Vit. C is depleted from the glands, and RAPIDLY.
The vitamin is also used all along the adrenal cascade, and acts as an antioxidant within the adrenal cortex itself. This is key because: the cascade constantly creates free radicals that impair the production of energy in our cells and cause debilitating fatigue
The adrenals contain the *highest concentration in the body of Vitamin C* where it is used more than any other part of the body.
**The above can be attributed to Dr. James Wilson and Hans Selye, a Canadian doctor and researcher, and the founder of the International Institute of Stress at the University of Montreal.
Selye is widely regarded as the pioneer in the field of stress studies, and was the first to document the
relationship of stress to cortisol excess and vitamin C in an article he published in the British Journal, “Nature” in 1936.
