What it is

Calcium pantothenate is the calcium salt of pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5. It is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a role in energy metabolism. It can be produced synthetically.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add calcium pantothenate as a nutrient supplement, often to fortified foods like cereals, energy bars, and dietary supplements. It is also used in some processed foods to enhance their nutritional profile.

Health notes

Calcium pantothenate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated pantothenic acid and its derivatives. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from typical dietary intake, as it is a necessary vitamin for human health.

Calcium pantothenate is not one of the nine major allergens and does not contain gluten.
