does b5 cause weight gain

Hello,
I read somewhere, that vitamin B 5 causes weight gain. Is this true???
Thank you for reply!

No, this is not true! On contrary, if there is any deficiency of vitamin B 5, this interferes with our capacity to utilize fat.
Actually, best vitamin for weight loss are Vitamin B2, B3, B 5 , B6, Choline (part of B-complex), Inositol (part of B-complex), and Vitamin C. In short, vitamin B 5 is involved in energy production and helps to control fat metabolism and assists adrenal function.

Vitamin B complex is needed for proper digestion. Vitamin B2 required for efficiency in burning calories; Vitamin B3 lessens sugar cravings. Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 are needed for proper digestion and absorption. A sublingual form is best.
