What is Pantothenic Acid?
Pantothenic Acid (D-Pantothenic Acid)—commonly known as Vitamin B5—is a water-soluble vitamin essential for humans and animals. It serves as a precursor for the synthesis of coenzyme A and plays a vital role in energy metabolism. It is typically supplied in the form of Calcium Pantothenate.
Free Pantothenic Acid is chemically reactive and difficult to use directly; therefore, this product is supplied as Calcium D-Pantothenate. This is the most stable and widely used commercial form of Vitamin B5, extensively utilized in food fortification and as a feed additive.
