Description

Dl-Pantothenic Acid Calcium Salt is the stable calcium salt of the essential B-vitamin, pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5). This compound is critical for the synthesis of coenzyme A (CoA), a fundamental cofactor in numerous metabolic pathways for energy production and biosynthesis. It is a vital ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and animal feed industries seeking to fortify their products with this essential nutrient.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in vitamin B-complex injections, tablets, and capsules for treating pantothenic acid deficiency.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key component in multivitamin, mineral, and standalone B5 supplements for human nutrition, supporting energy metabolism and skin health.
• Animal Feed & Veterinary Products: An essential vitamin premix additive for poultry, swine, and aquaculture feed to ensure optimal growth, health, and feed efficiency.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Incorporated into topical creams, lotions, and haircare products for its moisturizing and purported skin barrier repair properties.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Used to enrich breakfast cereals, health drinks, and infant formula, complying with food-grade standards like FCC.
• Cell Culture Media: Serves as a defined nutrient component in specialized media for biotechnology and pharmaceutical research applications.

Quality Control

Our Dl-Pantothenic Acid Calcium Salt is manufactured under strict quality systems. We offer grades compliant with major pharmacopoeial standards, including USP, EP, and FCC, ensuring suitability for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food applications. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, optical rotation, and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full compliance with specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
