# Vitamin B5

> This test measures the level of vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid, in your blood. It helps show whether you have enough of this nutrient to convert food into energy and maintain healthy nerve function. Results can help doctors investigate causes of symptoms like numbness, burning sensations in the feet, or fatigue related to malnutrition. While this test identifies a deficiency, it does not diagnose specific diseases or determine why the level is low on its own.
