Pantothenic Acid (as d-Calcium Pantothenate)
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) Benefits at a Glance:
- Prevents oxidative stress and mitigates cellular damage
- Aids carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism
- Assists hormone production
- Supports liver detoxification
- Plays a key role in adrenal gland function
- Balances cholesterol levels
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is the precursor in the synthesis of coenzyme A, which helps the body maintain healthy cholesterol levels and supports detoxification by breaking down fats and harmful substances – such as pharmaceutical drugs and environmental toxins.
Coenzyme A is also necessary for hormone production (including melatonin) and heme-iron synthesis, which means vitamin B5 can help to regulate your sleep-and-wake cycle, increase energy production, and promote overall hormonal balance.
Pantothenic acid is also necessary for proper adrenal gland function and helping to manage the body’s fight or flight response, allowing you to better cope with stress and maintain balance.
Similar to other B vitamins, pantothenic acid acts as an antioxidant to protect cells from free radical damage and prevent the onset of disease. Vitamin B5 is also involved in heme-iron metabolism, which further contributes to energy production.
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is a key nutrient for nervous system, stress and mood support, which we could all use more of in our modern day busy lifestyles.
We use nano-liposomal B5 in our products. This means it’s nano-sized (a tiny particle less than one micron) and can seamlessly enter the membranes through your mouth or skin and bypass the digestive process – which allows it to become up to 200 x more bioavailable. Liposomal delivery further aids absorption by safeguarding vitamin B5 from your body’s natural defenses, so it stays intact until being absorbed at the intended location.
