Traditional Usage

Pantothenic acid, or vitamin B5, functions in the body as part of two different enzymes - coenzyme A (CoA) and acyl carrier protein (ACP). CoA helps in transmitting nerve impulses, synthesising hormones and haemoglobin - which is essential in building blood. CoA is also essential in the maintenance of normal blood sugar and formation of antibodies. D-calcium pantothenate, a synthetically made substance, is the name for the most common form of pantothenic acid used in vitamin supplements.
