The name pantothenic acid comes from the Greek word "pantothen" meaning "from everywhere" and is often referred to as vitamin B5. And whilst the body can't make it (which is part of the definition of being a vitamin); it can be produced from bacteria living in the digestive system, as long as ones system is running smoothly.
Pantothenic acid is a constituent of coenzyme A, which is essential for energy release from food. It is also involved in the production of antibodies and hence is important for an efficient immune system. Pantothenic Acid is essential for the production of cortisone by the adrenal glands. This corticosteroid hormone is needed to help the body cope with stress. Consequently, practitioners frequently recommend 500mg of Calcium Pantothenate daily for those with demanding lifestyles.
This is a high strength pantothenic acid supplement with each tablet providing 500mg. Due to its strength we have made the tablets time release so that they gradually release the pantothenic acid over a period of 6 to 8 hours after swallowing. This more closely matches the way a nutrient is released from food during digestion.
