Hi,

Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is a chemical found in the folic acid vitamin and also in several foods including grains, eggs, milk, and meat. PABA is taken orally along with vitamins and is used for various skin and hair conditions. PABA does not affect male fertility and can be used regularly along with other multivitamin tablets. High dose may cause liver or kidney damage and should be used only in moderate doses.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
