Description

Zincpantothenate is the zinc salt of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), a vital nutrient essential for numerous metabolic processes. This compound is valued for its enhanced stability and bioavailability compared to the free acid form, making it a preferred ingredient in high-performance formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and animal feed industries to fortify products and support health and wellness.

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 component in multivitamin, mineral, and specialty supplement products aimed at supporting energy metabolism, skin health, and adrenal function.
• Animal Nutrition (Feed Premixes): Incorporated into poultry, swine, and aquaculture feed to ensure optimal growth, feather/fur quality, and overall metabolic health.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Employed in topical creams, lotions, and hair care products for its moisturizing and skin barrier repair properties.
• Food Fortification: Used to enrich certain food products, such as breakfast cereals and health beverages, although less common than other forms.
• Veterinary Medicines: Formulated into specific veterinary products for companion animals and livestock.
