NOW Foods Pantetina, 600 mg 60 Cápsulas Blandas (Paquete de 2)

What is pantethine and how is it different from pantothenic acid?

NOW Foods Pantethine, 600 mg 60 Softgels (2-Pack) — Pantethine is a biologically active form of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5). While pantothenic acid is the more common form in supplements, pantethine is directly converted into coenzyme A (CoA), an essential molecule for energy metabolism. CoA is involved in the synthesis and breakdown of fatty acids, energy production from carbohydrates and fats, and the manufacture of steroid hormones. Therefore, vitamin B5 plays an important role in numerous metabolic processes.

Benefits of vitamin B5 supported by EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved the following health claims for pantothenic acid:

• Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
• Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Contributes to normal mental performance.
• Contributes to the normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D and some neurotransmitters.

These statements are approved by EFSA. Pantethine, as an active form of vitamin B5, shares these benefits. Each softgel provides 600 mg of pantethine.
