About This Product
Natural Factors BioCoenzymated Pantethine B5 450 mg gives you 450 mg of pantethine in each softgel, taken twice a day. Supports healthy cholesterol levels. The bottle holds 60 softgels, a 30-day supply at the label dose.
What BioCoenzymated Pantethine B5 is licensed for
It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80083056. The licence also lists:
- Support cardiovascular health.
- Helps support lower total and LDL cholesterol levels.
- Supports lipid metabolism.
What pantethine is
Pantethine is a form of vitamin B5. Plain vitamin B5 is pantothenic acid. When pantothenic acid is joined to a small molecule called cysteamine, the result is pantetheine, and two pantetheine units linked by a sulphur bridge make pantethine. That pairing is why its full chemical name is so long. Pantethine sits further along the path from pantothenic acid toward coenzyme A than the plain vitamin does.
Each softgel holds 450 mg of D-pantethine as its only medicinal ingredient. The softgel itself is made from gelatin, glycerin and purified water, so this product is not vegetarian.
BioCoenzymated is the Natural Factors name for its range of B vitamins in coenzyme or active forms. B5 in the product name simply marks pantethine as part of the vitamin B5 family.
How it compares
Vitasave carries pantethine and pantothenic acid from a few brands:
| Product | Compound | Per unit | Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| BioCoenzymated Pantethine B5 | Pantethine | 450 mg | 60 softgels |
| AOR Pantethine 300 mg | Pantethine | 300 mg | 90 vegetarian capsules |
| NOW Pantothenic Acid 500 mg | Pantothenic acid | 500 mg | 100 capsules |
This softgel has the most pantethine per unit of the three. The AOR capsule is the vegetarian pantethine option. The same BioCoenzymated line includes Natural Factors BioCoenzymated Benfotiamine 150 mg and Natural Factors BioCoenzymated Active B Complex.
How to take it
Adults take 1 softgel twice a day. Consult a health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you use anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications. Some people may experience heartburn, itching of the skin, gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.
Who it suits
Adults looking for pantethine itself, not plain pantothenic acid, at a strength of 450 mg per softgel. People who avoid gelatin should look at a vegetarian capsule instead.
