Finding the cause(s) of:

• Fatigue: Vitamin B5 is essential for converting food into energy, so a deficiency can lead to persistent tiredness.
• Headache: Low B5 levels can sometimes contribute to headaches, possibly related to its role in nerve function and energy metabolism.
• Irritability: Vitamin B5 is involved in producing neurotransmitters that affect mood, and a deficiency might contribute to feelings of irritability.
• Numbness: B5 is important for nerve health, and low levels could potentially lead to nerve-related symptoms like numbness.
