NOW Foods Pantetina 600 mg, 60 Cápsulas Blandas

What is Pantethine and How Does It Work?

Pantethine is a stable, bioavailable form of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5). It differs from calcium pantothenate due to its disulfide structure, which gives it unique properties. Once ingested, pantethine is rapidly converted into coenzyme A, an essential molecule for energy metabolism, fatty acid synthesis, and hormone production. This NOW Foods supplement offers 600 mg of pantethine per softgel, in a double-strength presentation for efficient intake.

EFSA-Backed Benefits of Pantethine

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved health claims for pantothenic acid, and pantethine, as a source of this vitamin, benefits from the same:

• Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
• Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Contributes to normal mental performance.

Additionally, clinical studies have shown that pantethine helps maintain serum lipid levels within the normal range, thus supporting cardiovascular health. These claims are approved by the EFSA.

Recommended Dosage and Directions for Use

As a food supplement, it is recommended to take 1 softgel daily, preferably with a meal. Each softgel provides 600 mg of pantethine, a double dose compared to our regular 300 mg formula.
