PABA (amino benzoic acid) is a white, crystalline substance. It has been found to be slightly soluble in water. It is an essential nutrient for some forms of bacteria. PABA (amino benzoic acid) is also known as vitamin Bx. It was discovered in 1943 by E. T. Krebs. PABA (amino benzoic acid) was used for a number of years as an important ingredient in commercial sun blockers however medical doctors and other professional health care experts found evidence in clinical studies that led them to conclude that PABA (amino benzoic acid), while it was great as a sun blocker, also led to potential damage to DNA and vastly increased the chances of skin cancer.

Studies seem to show also that PABA (amino benzoic acid) aids healthy bacteria in the production of folic acid and also aids in the assimilation of Pantothenic acid in the human body. PABA (amino benzoic acid), as mind boggling and impossible as the possibility sounds, has some medical doctors and other professional health care experts who have gone as far as to hail PABA (amino benzoic acid) as a youth rejuvenator, a drug which actually causes gray hair to return to its natural color. As unrealistic as this last item seems, clinical studies have been done on dogs with black hair. They were deliberately caused to acquire a PABA (amino benzoic acid) deficiency in their bodies and their hair did start turning grey. When PABA (amino benzoic acid) was given to them and a proper amount was in their bodies so that there was no longer a PABA (amino benzoic acid) deficiency, the hair started to turn black again. Some doctors and other professional health care experts claim that the same thing has been proven to work for human beings and that those people whose hair is turned grey by a PABA (amino benzoic acid) deficiency in their bodies will have their hair return to its natural color when they are administered the proper treatment of PABA (amino benzoic acid).

Food sources of PABA (amino benzoic acid) are liver, kidney, brewer's yeast, eggs, brown rice, bran, wheat germ, and molasses.

Some medical doctors and other professional health care experts feel that clinical studies seem to indicate that a deficiency in PABA (amino benzoic acid) can result in such things as extreme fatigue, eczema, depression, nervousness, constipation, headaches and prematurely grey hair. Some medical doctors and other professional health care experts feel that a deficiency in PABA (amino benzoic acid) can also result in DNA damage and in certain kinds of skin cancer.
