Pantethine is the active form of vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid. Supplementing with regular pantothenic acid does not necessarily increase the body's pantethine levels, since 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, thus promoting a good balance of cholesterol, a role that pantothenic acid does not share. 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 Canada's first standalone vitamin B5 in the form of Pantethine. Unlike many others since then, AOR Pantethine provides a pure, effective form of this important nutrient at a research-backed dose. Pantethine is an excellent natural support for people with abnormal blood lipids, those experiencing constant stress and those suffering from liver problems.
