What is Pantothenic Acid (B5)?
Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal mental performance, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D and some neurotransmitters.
Why Calcium D-Pantothenate?
Calcium D-pantothenate is the most stable salt form of pantothenic acid, resistant to degradation at room temperature unlike the free acid form, which is sensitive to heat and pH fluctuation.
What are the benefits of Pantothenic Acid (B5)?
Cortisol synthesis & stress response
Pantothenic acid is the rate-limiting precursor for coenzyme A and acyl carrier protein, which are essential for the synthesis of steroid hormones including cortisol in the adrenal glands.
Coenzyme A & energy metabolism
CoA is involved in over 70 metabolic reactions, including the activation of acetyl groups for entry into the Krebs cycle, fatty acid oxidation and synthesis, and the production of acetylcholine and haem.
Skin barrier & tissue maintenance
Pantothenic acid contributes to normal fatty acid synthesis and the maintenance of skin barrier lipids, supporting the body's normal processes of epithelial renewal and tissue maintenance.
