Benefits

Pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B-5, is a water-soluble vitamin belonging to the B-complex family. Its name comes from the Greek word "pantothen", meaning "from everywhere" — an etymology that reflects its near-universal presence in foods and in all living cells.

At the biochemical level, pantothenic acid is an essential precursor of Coenzyme A (CoA), a central molecule in cellular metabolism. CoA is involved in more than 100 different enzymatic reactions, particularly in the production of energy from carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, as well as in the synthesis of essential molecules such as cholesterol, steroid hormones, neurotransmitters and certain components of red blood cells.

Although severe vitamin B-5 deficiencies are rare due to its wide distribution in the diet (whole grains, legumes, eggs, meats, vegetables), suboptimal intakes can be observed in certain situations: processed diets, chronic stress, intense intellectual or physical activity, or restrictive diets.

Targeted supplementation with pantothenic acid can therefore support overall energy metabolism, daily vitality and proper functioning of the nervous system, particularly during periods of overwork or temporary fatigue.

Why choose Pantothenic Acid 500 mg?

Now Foods Pantothenic Acid 500 mg delivers a high standardized dose of 500 mg of vitamin B-5 per capsule, as calcium pantothenate — the most stable and bioavailable form available on the market. A single daily intake is enough to cover requirements.

Now Foods is a family-owned American company founded in 1968, a pioneer of quality dietary supplements. Its range benefits from GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certification with an A-rating from the NPA (Natural Products Association), a guarantee of rigor in manufacturing, quality control and traceability.

The formula is deliberately minimalist: only two excipients are present — hypromellose (cellulose) for the vegetable capsule shell, and stearic acid (vegetable source) as a manufacturing aid. No animal gelatin, no colorants, no preservatives, no sweeteners, no artificial flavors.

The product is non-GMO, kosher, and suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets. It contains no gluten, no wheat, no soy, no corn, no milk, no egg, no fish, no shellfish, no tree nuts — a valuable asset for sensitive or intolerant individuals.

What does science say?

Pantothenic acid (vitamin B-5) benefits from several health claims validated by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), as listed in Regulation (EU) No 432/2012:

•    Pantothenic acid contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism;

•    Pantothenic acid contributes to normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D and some neurotransmitters;

•    Pantothenic acid contributes to normal mental performance;

•    Pantothenic acid contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

To fully benefit from these effects, the recommended daily intakes must be respected as part of a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
