NOW Foods PABA 500mg 100 Cápsulas (Paquete de 2)

What is PABA?

PABA, or para-aminobenzoic acid, is an organic compound found naturally in foods such as liver, kidneys, brewer's yeast, whole grains, and spinach. Although traditionally included in the B-complex vitamin group, it is not actually considered an essential vitamin for humans, as the body can obtain it through diet or synthesize it through intestinal flora. This compound is used in the manufacture of food supplements and has also been applied in topical products. NOW Foods offers this supplement in a convenient and concentrated presentation. PABA was first identified in the early 20th century and has been the subject of study in various areas. Although not a vitamin, its chemical structure is similar to that of folic acid.
