Description

Calcium D-Pantothenate is the stable calcium salt of D-Pantothenic Acid, a vital member of the B-complex vitamin family. This essential nutrient is a key precursor for coenzyme A (CoA), playing a fundamental role in cellular energy metabolism and the synthesis of numerous biomolecules. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food & beverage, and animal feed industries seeking to fortify their products with Vitamin B5.

Application

• Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Formulations: Used in vitamin supplements, multivitamin tablets, capsules, and syrups to prevent or treat Vitamin B5 deficiency.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Added to breakfast cereals, energy drinks, dairy products, and infant formula as a nutritional enhancer.
• Animal Feed & Premixes: An essential vitamin component in feed for poultry, swine, aquaculture, and pets to support growth, health, and feed efficiency.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into hair care and skincare products for its moisturizing and purported hair-strengthening properties.
• Cell Culture Media: Serves as a vital growth factor in microbiological media and biotechnological processes.
