Pantothenic acid

Pantothenic acid (CAS 79-83-4 ), commonly known as Vitamin B5, is a water-soluble B-vitamin used across food, feed, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. In formulated products, it functions as a nutrient source and humectant. It supports moisture retention in topical applications and metabolic function in nutritional contexts. In animal feed and premix production, it is incorporated to meet the B-vitamin requirements of poultry and swine. It is also used in aquaculture species, where deficiency directly impacts growth performance. Food and beverage manufacturers use it to fortify products such as energy drinks, infant formula, and dietary supplements. In personal care, it acts as a humectant in skin creams, shampoos, and conditioners. It often serves as a precursor to panthenol, improving moisture retention in the finished formula for various cosmetic applications. Pharmaceutical manufacturers include it in multivitamin tablets, capsules, and injectable preparations targeting nutritional supplementation. It is supplied as a white crystalline powder for industrial use. The calcium salt form, calcium pantothenate, is the predominant commercial grade due to its superior stability. Recognized grades include USP , BP , Ph. Eur. , and food-grade FCC specifications. Both the free acid and calcium salt forms are available for global distribution. Purity levels are typically at 98% or higher for pharmaceutical and food applications to ensure the highest quality standards. Contact us for supply of Pantothenic acid Request Quote
