Pantethine

• Active form of vitamin B5
• Key nutrient for good adrenal function.
• Most active and effective form of vitamin B5.
• Promotes good cholesterol, liver health and detoxification.

Pantethine is the active form of vitamin B5, or pantothenic acid. Supplementing with regular pantothenic acid does not necessarily increase the body's pantethine levels, as the conversion process is tightly regulated. Pantethine is involved in hundreds of metabolic processes, including energy production and fatty acid synthesis. It regulates the production of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and HDL, thus promoting healthy cholesterol balance—a role not shared by pantothenic acid. Pantethine is also necessary for the synthesis of stress hormones in the adrenal glands, so insufficient intake can lead to adrenal insufficiency, compromising immunity, energy, metabolism, and overall well-being. Finally, it is also essential for phase II liver detoxification and may protect against fatty liver degeneration and other types of liver damage better than regular vitamin B5.

In 1996, AOR launched the first Canadian stand-alone vitamin B5 in the form of Pantethine. Unlike many others since, AOR's Pantethine provides a pure and effective form of this important nutrient at a research-backed dose. Pantethine is an excellent natural support for people with abnormal blood lipids, those under constant stress, and those suffering from liver disorders.

In 1996, AOR launched Canada's first stand-alone vitamin B5, Pantethine. AOR's Pantethine leverages the benefits of this unique vitamin by providing a pure form of this important nutrient in an effective form and at an effective dose.
