Description

D-Pantothenic Acid Calcium Salt Hydrate is the stable, bioavailable calcium salt of D-pantothenic acid, a vital component of coenzyme A (CoA). This compound is essential for the synthesis and metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, making it a critical ingredient in human and animal nutrition. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food fortification, and animal feed industries to ensure adequate pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) intake.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in vitamin B-complex injections, tablets, and capsules to treat or prevent pantothenic acid deficiency.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key ingredient in multivitamin, mineral, and standalone Vitamin B5 supplements for supporting energy metabolism and skin health.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Added to breakfast cereals, infant formula, health drinks, and meal replacement products to enhance nutritional value.
• Animal Feed & Premixes: An essential vitamin supplement in poultry, swine, aquaculture, and pet food to support growth, reproduction, and overall health.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into skincare and haircare products for its moisturizing and conditioning properties.
• Cell Culture Media: Serves as a vital nutrient component in media used for biopharmaceutical production and biomedical research.
