calcium pantothenate

Calcium pantothenate is the calcium salt of the water-soluble vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid). It serves as a critical precursor in the biosynthesis of coenzyme A (CoA), which is essential for numerous metabolic pathways, including the citric acid cycle and the synthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol, and acetylcholine. Developed and marketed by Chem Med Pharmaceuticals, it is primarily used as a dietary supplement to treat or prevent vitamin B5 deficiency and to support general metabolic health. As a small molecule, it is typically administered orally and is widely available in various multivitamin formulations.
