PABA is one of the basic constituents of folic acid and also helps in the assimulation of
pantothenic acid. This antioxidant helps protect against sunburn and skin cancer, acts as a
coenzyme in the breakdown and utilization of protein, and assists in the formation of red
blood cells. PABA also aids in the maintenance of healthy intestinal flora. Supplementing the
diet with PABA may restore gray hair to its original color if the graying was caused by stress
or a nutritional deficiency.
