Pantothenic Acid -
Pantothenic Acid is considered a B5, a vitamin which is important for cellular energy production, cardiovascular health, and assists with other vitamin assimilation and synthesis. Pantothenic acid supports the adrenal glands primarily, as B5 is necessary for hormone synthesis. B5 also assists in the synthesis of fatty acids, amino acids and cholesterol. Pantothenic acid also concentrates in high amounts in the kidneys, pituitary gland, liver, heart and muscles.
Pantothenic acid supports cellular energy production, adrenal and cardiovascular health, and synthesis of vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, and steroid hormones
What Is It?
Pantothenic acid, vitamin B5, plays a key role in cellular
energy production, adrenal and cardiovascular health, and
synthesis of vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, cholesterol
and steroid hormones.*
Uses For Pantothenic Acid
Nutrient Metabolism and Organ Function: Pantothenic
acid is a precursor of coenzyme A (CoA), an important
cofactor and acyl group carrier in cells. One of the main
functions for CoA is the formation of acetyl-CoA, vital for
cellular respiration and the metabolism of carbohydrates
and fatty acids through the Kreb's cycle. In the first step
of the cycle, acetyl CoA condenses with oxaloacetate to
yield citrate and succinyl-CoA providing energy for GDP
phosphorylation. Distribution studies indicate that tissues
with the highest retention of pantothenic acid are the
kidneys, pituitary gland, heart, muscle, liver and adrenal
glands and optimal levels help promote healthy adrenal
function and cardiovascular health. Additionally, pantothenic
acid is required for the synthesis of fatty acids and
membrane phospholipids, the amino acids leucine, arginine
and methionine, and isoprenoid derivatives, including
cholesterol, steroid hormones, vitamin A and vitamin D.*
What Is The Source?
Calcium pantothenate provides pantothenic acid and is
synthetic. Ascorbyl palmitate is derived from corn dextrose
fermentation and palm oil. Hypo-allergenic plant fiber is
derived from pine cellulose.
Are There Any Potential Side Effects Or
Precautions?
If pregnant or lactating, consult your physician before taking
this product. Large amounts of pantothenic acid can cause
diarrhea. There is also one case of eosinophilic pleuropericardial
effusion in a patient taking pantothenic acid 300
mg per day in combination with biotin 10 mg per day for 2
months. Consult your physician for more information.
