Description

D-Pantothenic Acid is the biologically active, dextrorotatory form of vitamin B5, a vital component of coenzyme A (CoA) and acyl carrier protein. This essential nutrient is critical for the synthesis and metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, supporting fundamental cellular energy production and biosynthetic pathways. It is a key ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food & beverage, and animal feed industries seeking to fortify products with this essential vitamin.

Application

• Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Formulations: Used in vitamin B-complex supplements, multivitamin tablets, capsules, and energy-boosting formulations.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Added to functional foods, dairy products, breakfast cereals, and health drinks as a nutritional enhancer.
• Animal Feed & Veterinary Products: An essential vitamin premix component for poultry, swine, aquaculture, and pet food to support growth, health, and feed efficiency.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into hair care products (shampoos, conditioners) and skin creams for its moisturizing and purported hair-strengthening properties.
• Cell Culture Media: Serves as a vital growth factor in microbiological media and biotechnological fermentation processes.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or reagent in enzymatic studies and metabolic research related to coenzyme A.

Quality Control

Our D-Pantothenic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. It can be supplied to meet various pharmacopoeial standards, including USP, EP, and FCC grades, ensuring suitability for pharmaceutical, food, and feed applications. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and specific impurities are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product 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.
