Vitamin B5

Broccoli, cabbage, potatoes, mushrooms, nuts, beans, peas, and lentils are rich in Vitamin B5. Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) is needed for making blood cells, and it helps convert food into energy. B vitamins are also needed for healthy skin, hair, and eyes; proper functioning of the nervous system and liver; healthy digestive tract; making red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body; and making sex and stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands.
