    GlossaryPara-Aminobenzoic Acid

    compound in vitamin B complex aiding folic acid synthesis

    Para-Aminobenzoic Acid (PABA) is a compound that is part of the vitamin B complex and is sometimes referred to as Vitamin Bx. It is found in foods like grains and eggs and is known for its role in the synthesis of folic acid, which is crucial for DNA formation and cell growth. PABA is also used in some sunscreens due to its ability to absorb ultraviolet (UV) light, although its use has declined due to potential allergic reactions.
