How to Apply Vitamin B5 to the Scalp

Vitamin B5 is commonly used to help with the body’s digestion, hair health and acne issues. This vitamin can be introduced to the body through different types of food, such as milk, broccoli, yeast, eggs and lean beef. B5 also comes in a vitamin pill or liquid form, which can be taken and used to help improve B5 deficiencies. Also known as pantothenic acid, B5 can be applied directly to the scalp to encourage hair growth and reduce the amount of acne found on it.
