D-(+)-Pantothenic acid calcium salt CAS 137-08-6 n-(2,4-dihydroxy-3,3-)-beta-alaninecalcium

Description: 

Calcium Pantothenate is the calcium salt of the water-soluble vitamin B5, ubiquitously found in plants and animal tissues with antioxidant property. Pentothenate is a component of coenzyme A (CoA) and a part of the vitamin B2 complex.

Chemical Formula:

Basic parameters:

Raw materials:

Potassium carbonate-->FUMING SULFURIC ACID-->Isobutyraldehyde-->Gamma Butyrolactone-->β-Alanine-->(2-METHYL-)-OXO-ACETIC ACID ETHYL ESTER-->3-Hydroxy-2,2-propanal-->Calcium Propionate-->Sodium cyanide-->Sodium methoxide-->amine-->Formaldehyde-->10,11-strychnine.

Nutritional Supplement:

D-Calcium pantothenate as components of coenzyme A regulates the metabolism of protein, saccharide, and fat, and prevents diseases, which is indispensable substance for growth and development of domesticated creatures and fishes, for fatty synthesis and decomposition. The lack of D-calcium pantothenate would result in the slow growth of poultry and the malfunction of reproduction mechanisms. Therefore, D-calcium pantothenate as a growth factor is used in feed additives. In addition, D-calcium pantothenate is also as food enrichment widely used in food industries, sun as breakfast cereals, beverages, dietetic, and baby foods.
D-Calcium pantothenate has the function of making antibodies and it plays an important role in the fight against pressure to maintain hair, skin and blood health, and also contributes to improving the deficiency and neuritis. Thus, it has broad medical value and has been applied in pharmaceutical industries that single-dose is used for pantothenic acid deficiency, complex of vitamins B and multivitamins are used for vitamin supplement, and other compounds with different components are widely used for gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory diseases, skin diseases, mental inactivity, neurasthenia, and so on.

Uses:

1. It can be applied to biochemical studies; as the nutrient composition of tissue culture medium. It is clinically used for the treatment of vitamin B deficiency, peripheral neuritis and postoperative colic.

2. It can be used as food fortifier, also used as infant food with the usage amount of 15~28 mg/kg; it is 2~4mg/kg in the drink.

3. This product is a vitamin drugs, being an integral part of coenzyme A. In the mixture of calcium pantothenate, only the right-hand body has vitamin activity, participating into the in vivo metabolism of protein, fat and carbohydrate. It can be used for the treatment of vitamin B deficiency and peripheral neuritis, and postoperative colic. Its combined treatment with vitamin C can be used for the treatment of disseminated lupus erythematosus. The lack of calcium pantothenate in human body has the following symptoms: (1) growth arrest, weight loss and sudden death. (2) Skin and hair disorders. (3) Neurological disorders. (4) Digestive disorders, liver dysfunction. (5) Affect the antibody formation. (6) Kidney dysfunction. Every day the body demands 5 mg of calcium pantothenate (calculated based on pantothenic acid). Calcium pantothenate, as a nutritional supplement, can be used for the food processing. In addition to special nutritional food, the usage amount should be below 1% (calculated on calcium) (Japan). Upon the strengthening of the milk powder, the usage amount should be 10 mg/100g. Addition of 0.02% into the Shochu and whiskey can further enhance the flavor. Addition of 0.02% into the honey can prevent the winter crystallization.

It can be used for buffering the bitterness of saccharin.

4. It can be used as feed additives, food additives, being in line with Pharmacopoeia USP28/BP2003

5. It can be used as nutritional supplements, being able to enhance the flavor of shochu whiskey to prevent the crystallization of honey in winter.

6. It is the precursor product for the biosynthesis of coenzyme A. Because of the easy-deliquescence of pantothenic acid and other unstable properties, it is used of calcium salt as the substitute.

Is pantothenic acid the same as calcium?

Pantothenic acid is available as the calcium salt (calcium pantothenate), and because of its stability and crystalline nature, the salt is commonly used by the feed industry to add to horse diets. Calcium pantothenate is frequently marketed as the racemic mixture (both d and l forms) of dl-calcium pantothenate.

Can pantothenic acid be harmful?

Pantothenic acid is safe, even at high doses. However, taking very high doses of pantothenic acid supplements (such as 10,000 mg per day) can cause an upset stomach and diarrhea.

What is the best calcium absorption vitamin?

vitamin D
To absorb calcium, your body also needs vitamin D. A few foods naturally contain small amounts of vitamin D, such as canned salmon with bones and egg yolks.
