What it is
Calcium pantothenate is a synthetic form of vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid. It is a calcium salt of this essential vitamin, typically produced through chemical synthesis.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add calcium pantothenate to foods as a nutrient supplement to increase their vitamin B5 content. It is often found in fortified cereals, energy drinks, and dietary supplements.
Health notes
In the US, calcium pantothenate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a nutrient supplement. It is an essential vitamin, and typical dietary intake levels are not associated with adverse effects. JECFA has evaluated pantothenic acid and its salts and concluded that an acceptable daily intake (ADI) 'not specified' is appropriate due to its low toxicity and rapid excretion. EFSA also considers pantothenic acid safe for use as a nutrient.
