PABA
Also indexed as: Para-Aminobenzoic Acid  How to Use ItSmall amounts of PABA are present in some B-complex vitamins and multivitamin formulas. The amount of PABA used in the studies described above ranged from 300 mg to 12 grams per day. Anyone taking more than 400 mg of PABA per day should consult a physician. Where to Find It PABA is found in grains and foods of animal origin. Possible DeficienciesDeficiencies of PABA have not been described in humans, and most nutritionists do not consider it an essential nutrient. Best Form to Take PABA is available as a nutritional supplement, but because it is mildly acidic, it can cause stomach irritation when taken in large amounts. The potassium salt of PABA, called Potaba®, which is available by prescription, tends to be better tolerated. Related Paba Articles: Copyright © 2011 Aisle7.
