As we mentioned in previous articles, endometriosis that grows somewhere other than the endometrium also reacts to the hormonal signals of the monthly menstrual cycle by accumulating tissue, breaking it down, and shedding it during the menstrual period. As we know, nutritional supplements play a very important role in some cultures in the treatment of all kinds of diseases. In this article, we will discuss how vitamin B5 helps treat endometriosis.
I.Definition
Vitamin B5 is also known as pantothenic acid. It plays an important role in the formation of coenzyme A and is essential in the metabolism and synthesis of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Vitamin B5 has a chemical structure formula of C9H17NO5.
II. How does vitamin B5 help in the treatment of endometriosis?
Most women with endometriosis were found to have low levels of vitamin B5 during the menstrual cycle for whatever reason. Without enough vitamin B5 in a woman’s body, it causes:
1. A weakened immune system
Since vitamin B5 is necessary in the metabolism of carbohydrates, it helps to generate energy for the cells of our body. Without sufficient levels of vitamin B5, our body’s immune system is weakened and is dangerous for free radical formation and cell abnormalities.
2. Poor circulation
Our liver is the first line of defense by secreting bile into the digestive system to produce good cholesterol, which helps inhibit bad cholesterol in the arteries. Without enough vitamin B5, bad cholesterol goes unchecked and causes difficulty in blood circulation.
3. Increased risk of overactive uterine muscles
The liver helps in the metabolism of fats. Without enough vitamin B5, it causes a hormonal imbalance in the prostaglandin family, which causes an overreaction of the uterine muscles, which in turn leads to abdominal pain.
4. Increased tension of the nervous system
Fats and proteins are important for nourishing the cells of the nervous system. Low levels of vitamin B5 weaken the function of brain cells. This leads to endometriosis symptoms like anxiety, mood swings, and depression.
5. Increased risk of allergic reaction
Insufficient vitamin B5 in our body causes a deficiency in coenzyme A, which is necessary for our body to react to sudden substances entering our body, causing violent allergic reactions.
6. acne
Fatty acid metabolism becomes less efficient and the individual is more prone to acne.
7. Hormonal imbalance
In addition to helping reduce acne, vitamin B5 also interacts with other members of the vitamin B complex to increase the function of the adrenal glands, which is necessary to balance hormones and promote normal growth in the body.
