Vitamin b5

Vitamin B5, or pantothenic acid, is required to produce coenzyme A. This molecule helps enzymes process carbohydrates, fats and other compounds used in normal metabolism.

It contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the production of certain hormones and neurotransmitters.

In everyday life, Vitamin B5 helps convert food into cellular fuel and supports the normal biochemical pathways involved in hormones and neurotransmitters.

Its nutritional contribution depends on the amount provided and overall dietary intake.

Ingredient overview

What it is

Vitamin B5, or pantothenic acid, is required to produce coenzyme A. This molecule helps enzymes process carbohydrates, fats and other compounds used in normal metabolism.

  • Scientific identity: Vitamin B5; form supplied: Calcium D-pantothenate, D-isomer active.
  • How it works: Supplied as calcium D-pantothenate: Only the D-isomer is biologically active, which is the form used. Absorbed and released: The salt dissociates and pantothenic acid is taken up in the small intestine.
  • Primary function: It contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the production of certain hormones and neurotransmitters.
  • What it supports: Vitamin B5 helps convert food into cellular fuel and supports the normal biochemical pathways involved in hormones and neurotransmitters.
  • Important consideration: Its nutritional contribution depends on the amount provided and overall dietary intake.

Formulation rationale

Why we use it

CARPEDIEM selected Vitamin B5 for a clearly defined role within a thoughtfully balanced formulation.

  • Formulation purpose: It contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the production of certain hormones and neurotransmitters.
  • Used in: CARPEDIEM MultiTeen, CARPEDIEM MultiWomen and CARPEDIEM MultiMen.
  • Works alongside: Vitamin B5 complements Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2 and Vitamin B3 / Niacin to support comprehensive daily nutritional support.
  • Meaningful contribution: Vitamin B5 helps convert food into cellular fuel and supports the normal biochemical pathways involved in hormones and neurotransmitters. Supports pathways involved in the normal production of selected hormones.
  • Quality and scientific context: Its nutritional contribution depends on the amount provided and overall dietary intake. Research is shown only when an ingredient-specific study demonstrates a relevant benefit.
