Efficacy of Vitamin B5 as an Alternative Medicine According to GRADE* Ranking: 


Alzheimer's Disease [1]:

Recommendation: Weakly in favor (Whilst there are some good studies implicating the benefits of Vitamin B complex (including Vitamin B5) in the improvement for cognitive function of some patients with neurodegenerative diseases there only indirect studies implicating the same for Vitamin B6 on its own, however the Vitamin B complex benefit would infer a benefit, more research is needed)

Grade of Evidence: Low level of evidence
