What it is

Calcium pantothenate is a calcium salt of pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5. It is a synthetic form of this essential vitamin, typically produced through chemical synthesis.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add calcium pantothenate to fortify foods and beverages with vitamin B5. It is commonly found in fortified cereals, energy drinks, and dietary supplements.

Health notes

Calcium pantothenate is an FDA-approved nutrient in the United States and is generally recognized as safe. Pantothenic acid, or vitamin B5, is an essential nutrient, and deficiencies are rare. JECFA has evaluated pantothenic acid and its salts, and did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI not specified), concluding that it is not appropriate for use as a food additive. EFSA has also evaluated pantothenic acid and established dietary reference values for it. There are no notable controversies regarding its safety at typical intake levels.
