CALCIUM D-PANTOTHENATE

Calcium D-Pantothenate is a white, free-flowing powder prepared by a spray-drying process. It is practically odorless, and melts at about 200°C without having a defined melting point. Calcium D-Pantothenate is freely soluble in water and soluble in glycerine. It is relatively stable to air and light, but is slightly sensitive to heat and humidity. Calcium D-Pantothenate meets all requirements of the USP, FCC and Ph. Eur. when tested according to these compendia. Calcium D-Pantothenate is used in the pharmaceutical industry as an essential nutrient and plays a key role in the synthesis of coenzyme-A, which is involved in numerous biochemical processes related to energy production and fatty acid synthesis. It is commonly used as a nutritional supplement in pharmaceutical products due to its role in various metabolic pathways important for human health.
