Description

L-Calcium Pantothenate is the calcium salt of the biologically active form of pantothenic acid, a vital water-soluble B-complex vitamin (Vitamin B5). This high-purity ingredient is essential for the synthesis of coenzyme A (CoA), a critical cofactor in numerous metabolic pathways. It is a fundamental raw material for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and animal feed industries, where it is used to formulate dietary supplements, fortify food and beverages, and ensure optimal animal health and growth.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in vitamin B5 supplements and multivitamin preparations to treat or prevent pantothenic acid deficiency.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key component in capsules, tablets, and powder blends for human nutrition, supporting energy metabolism and skin health.
• Animal Feed & Premixes: An essential vitamin additive in poultry, swine, aquaculture, and pet food to support growth, feed conversion efficiency, and overall animal welfare.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Incorporated into functional foods, dairy products, cereals, and beverages to enhance their nutritional profile.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Utilized in skincare and haircare products for its moisturizing and conditioning properties.
• Cell Culture Media: Serves as a vital nutrient component in microbiological media and biotechnological fermentation processes.
