Description

Sodium D-Pantothenate is the sodium salt of the biologically active D-isomer of pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5). This essential nutrient plays a critical role in the synthesis of coenzyme A (CoA), a vital cofactor in numerous metabolic pathways for carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. It is a fundamental ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and animal feed industries seeking to fortify products with this vital vitamin. Its high solubility and stability in the sodium salt form make it a preferred choice for various formulations.

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 supplements, energy boosters, and specialized health products targeting skin, hair, and metabolic support.
• Animal Feed & Veterinary Products: An essential vitamin premix for poultry, swine, aquaculture, and pet food to support growth, reproduction, and overall animal health.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Employed in the enrichment of breakfast cereals, infant formula, sports drinks, and functional foods.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into topical formulations like creams, lotions, and hair care products for its moisturizing and purported skin barrier repair properties.
• Cell Culture Media: Serves as a necessary growth factor in microbiological media and biotechnological processes for cell cultivation.

Quality Control

Our Sodium D-Pantothenate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. It is typically produced to meet or exceed relevant pharmacopoeial standards such as USP, EP, and JP, as well as food-grade specifications like FCC. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing including assay, optical rotation, identification, and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbiological data are available upon request to ensure full traceability and compliance for your application.

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) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture and light to maintain stability and potency.
