Description

Calcium pantothenate (CAS 137-08-6 ), also known commercially as Pantholin, is the calcium salt form of vitamin B5 and the standard delivery form used across pharmaceutical, nutritional, and cosmetic manufacturing. It provides a stable, bioavailable source of pantothenic acid for use in finished products where consistent potency and shelf life are critical sourcing requirements for industrial manufacturers. In dietary supplements and multivitamin formulations, it supplies the B5 component in tablets, capsules, and powder blends where label-claim accuracy and regulatory compliance drive specification choices. Food and beverage manufacturers use it to fortify functional foods, infant formula, and nutritional beverages to meet declared vitamin content requirements and ensure consumer health benefits. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, it is incorporated into B-complex preparations and oral dosage forms where USP or BP grade compliance is required for safety and efficacy standards. Personal care formulators use it in hair care products, particularly conditioners and scalp treatments, where it supports moisture retention and improves hair fiber manageability in cosmetic lines. Calcium pantothenate is supplied as a white crystalline powder in bulk quantities. Established grades include Ph.Eur. and food-grade ( FCC ), with the D-form being the specification required. Packaging typically ranges from kilogram bags to multi-hundred kilogram drums to suit both development-scale and commercial production volumes for global chemical distribution and logistics.
