Pantothenic Acid and oxylates?

[Aaron Hartman]

Your briefly mentioned an association with Pantothenic acid and oxylates at the end of Module 9 Q&A. Could you expound on that?

Thanks

Dr. Hartman,
Although, this is not confirmed, but the suspicion is there is a conversion issue with pantothenic acid to CoA from oxalates, particularly when no b-vitamins are being taken. I often wonder if the level may be high from adrenal stress too since vitamin B5 is a precursor for the adrenal hormone pathways.

Intersting,
Then, with my daughter, who also has elevated pantothenate levels on testing and is taking a supplement (from Prothera which is the exact same as the one from New Beginnings); do I stop the suppliments due to the elevated pantothenic or just follow it?
Thanks

Dr. Hartman,
I would just continue it.
