Solaray Ácido Pantoténico 500 mg - 250 Cápsulas

What is pantothenic acid (vitamin B5)?

Pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5, is an essential water-soluble vitamin that is part of the B complex. Its main function is to participate in the formation of coenzyme A (CoA), a key molecule in energy metabolism. CoA is involved in the Krebs cycle, the beta-oxidation of fatty acids, and the synthesis of cholesterol, hormones, and neurotransmitters. Without an adequate supply of vitamin B5, these processes are compromised, which can lead to fatigue and lack of energy. Solaray Pantothenic Acid provides 500 mg of pantothenic acid in the form of calcium pantothenate, a stable and bioavailable source, along with aloe vera gel for additional wellness support.* This supplement is designed to meet the daily needs of those looking to optimize their metabolism and vitality.

Benefits backed by the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has evaluated and approved several health claims for pantothenic acid. According to EU Regulation 432/2012, the following claims are scientifically substantiated:

• Pantothenic acid contributes to normal energy metabolism.
• Pantothenic acid contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Pantothenic acid contributes to normal mental performance.
• Pantothenic acid contributes to the normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D, and some neurotransmitters.

These claims are approved by the EFSA and reflect the scientific backing of vitamin B5. By incorporating Solaray Pantothenic Acid into your routine, you support these physiological processes naturally and safely.

How to take pantothenic acid?

The recommended dose is one vegetable capsule per day, preferably with a meal to facilitate absorption. Each capsule provides 500 mg of pantothenic acid (as calcium pantothenate), a significantly higher amount than the nutrient reference value (NRV) of 6 mg for adults. This high dose is intended for those who want intensive metabolic support. The product is vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and dairy-free, and is manufactured in GMP certified facilities. In addition, Solaray offers a 60-day satisfaction guarantee, reflecting confidence in the product's quality.

Food sources and supplementation

Pantothenic acid is found naturally in foods such as meat, eggs, legumes, whole grains, broccoli, and avocado. However, processing and cooking techniques can reduce its content, and a modern diet does not always guarantee optimal intake. People with an active lifestyle, chronic stress, or certain health conditions may benefit from a supplement. The calcium pantothenate form used by Solaray offers excellent bioavailability and stability, ensuring that the body receives the necessary amount to maintain energy metabolism and reduce fatigue.

Safety and contraindications

Pantothenic acid is generally safe and well-tolerated. No serious adverse effects have been established with the recommended doses, although very high doses (thousands of milligrams) can cause mild digestive discomfort such as diarrhea. The EFSA has not set a maximum tolerable intake level. However, it is important not to exceed the daily dose indicated on the package. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as people under medical treatment, should consult a healthcare professional before starting supplementation. Keep out of reach of children.
