Article navigation
PABA's benefits include:
- PABA is involved with red blood cell formation
Since PABA is part of the folic acid molecule, it is involved in the formation of red blood cells and ensuring that the red blood cells created are healthy and structured properly and reduce risk of folic-acid deficiency anaemia. - PABA is used in sunscreen to field UV light
A specific form of PABA is used in sunscreen to screen out UV light, preventing sun burn and damage to the pigment of the skin and reducing risk of skin cancer. - PABA assists with protein and amino acid usage in the body
PABA helps to break down protein and enable it to be used properly by the body. Paba does this through its involvement with several enzymes that help to break down the proteins ingested from foods into their amino acids and help these amino acids to be used effectively by the various parts of the body as required.
