What it is

Calcium D pantothenate is a calcium salt of D-pantothenic acid, which is a form of vitamin B5. It is a water-soluble vitamin that can be produced synthetically or derived from natural sources.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add calcium D pantothenate to foods and beverages as a nutrient to provide vitamin B5. It is often found in fortified cereals, energy drinks, and nutritional supplements to support energy metabolism.

Health notes

In the US, calcium D pantothenate is recognized by the FDA as a safe and essential nutrient. Vitamin B5 is crucial for many bodily functions, including energy production and metabolism. JECFA has evaluated pantothenic acid and did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI not specified) because it is a water-soluble vitamin and excess is generally excreted. There are no notable controversies regarding its safety at typical intake levels.

Allergen info

Calcium D pantothenate is not derived from any of the nine major FDA allergens. It is also not a source of gluten.
