Do I need a pantothenic acid supplement?

The NHS says most people can get all the pantothenic acid they need from a varied and balanced diet, because it is found in almost all vegetables, wholegrain foods and meats. It also notes that pantothenic acid cannot be stored in the body, so it is needed in the diet every day.
