| The Burning-Feet-Syndrome is a feeling disorder of the feet, which is mostly caused at night by tingling or numbness in the toes and burning pain in the foot. Often there is a pantothenic aciddeficiency associated with the disease. As a component of coenzyme A (CoA), pantothenic acid plays a central role in the entire energy metabolism of the organism. Coenzyme A functions as a universal acyl group transmitter, is involved in the biosynthesis of steroids and the neurotransmitters acetylcholine and taurine as well as in the degradation of carbohydrates, fats and amino acids. In addition to the micronutrients mentioned, undersupplies with thiamine and niacin also play an important role. Since isolated vitamin B deficiencies are rare, the other vitamins of the B-complexes should also be supplemented. |
