Pantothenic Acid (B5)

Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) is a water-soluble B-vitamin commercially supplied as calcium D-pantothenate, the stable salt form produced through chemical synthesis. It is involved in energy metabolism, fat synthesis, and hormone production, making it essential for growth, reproduction, and overall metabolic health across all species. Deficiency manifests as impaired growth, reproductive failure, and skin lesions in swine and poultry; it is a required inclusion across all compound feed and food-grade vitamin premixes.
