Pantethine

Active form of vitamin B5. A key nutrient for healthy adrenal function. The most active and effective form of vitamin B5. Promotes good cholesterol, liver health, and detoxification. Pantethine is the active form of vitamin B5, or pantothenic acid. Regular pantothenic acid supplementation does not necessarily increase the body's pantethine levels, as the conversion process is tightly regulated. Pantethine is involved in hundreds of metabolic processes, including energy production and fatty acid synthesis. It regulates the production of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and HDL, thereby promoting healthy cholesterol balance—a role not shared by pantothenic acid. Pantethine is also necessary for the synthesis of stress hormones in the adrenal glands, so insufficient intake can lead to adrenal insufficiency, compromising immunity, energy, metabolism, and overall well-being. Finally, it is also essential for phase II liver detoxification, and may protect against fatty liver degeneration and other types of liver damage better than regular vitamin B5. In 1996, AOR launched the first Canadian stand-alone vitamin B5 in the form of Pantethine. Unlike many others since, AOR's Pantethine provides a pure and effective form of this important nutrient at a research-backed dose. Pantethine is an excellent natural support for people with abnormal blood lipids, those living with constant stress, and those suffering from liver disorders. In 1996, AOR launched the first-ever stand-alone vitamin B5 in Canada, Pantethine. AOR's Pantethine harnesses the benefits of this unique vitamin, providing a pure form of this important nutrient in an effective form and at an effective dose.
