Vitamin B5 is very important to our health, especially when pregnant. A lot of vitamin B5 is lost in the processing of foods, however. Fresh meats, vegetables, and whole unprocessed grains have more vitamin B5 than refined, canned, and frozen food. The best sources of vitamin B5 are in brewer's yeast, corn, cauliflower, kale, broccoli, tomatoes, avocadolegumes, lentils, egg yolks, beef (especially organ meats such as liver and kidney), turkey, duck, chicken, milk, split peas, peanuts, soybeans, sweet potatoes, sunflower seeds, whole-grain breads and cereals, lobster, wheat germ, and salmon.
I hope this might help a little. I think it is probably in many more foods, but someone might share these too. Take care.

Mushroom is the excellent source of Vitamin B5. Cauliflower too. Turnip greens and sunflower seed. B5 helps turn carbohydrates and fats into usable energy. it boosts your adrenalin and relieves you from fatigue and listlessness.

Hello princessmel,
pregnant women need so many different vitamins and minerals in much larger amounts than normal humans that they suddenly care about eating better foods than before pregnancy.
If you take already prenatal vitamins like Obimin or other ones, you'll have already most of the daily intake. Then just continue eating regular your normal food (Cereals, Cornflakes, Beef, Mushrooms, chicken, duck, turkey, Sunflower seed, rice). These foods contain already 20% (sunflower seed, 28 gr) to 100% (Cereals, 30 gr) of the daily intake.
The most Vitamin B5 (other name: Pantothenic acid), folic acid (folate) and iron would be in the liver of the animals but as the liver also contains a very high amount of Vitamin A (around 100 gr liver has 30.000 international units of Vitamin A, around 3.000 - 5.000 are enough) it's a bad choice to eat it regularly.
There a studies that showed that 10.000 international units of Vitamin A can cause already birth defects because it's a fat soluble vitamin (like Vitamin E, D and K). The body doesn't get rid of too much easily like with the other water soluble vitamins, which you just pee out of your body.
Hope you'll have a safe pregnancy in your coming months!!
