WHAT IS IT?

Pantethine is the stable form of pantetheine, the active form of the vitamin Pantothenic acid. This is the fundamental component of Coenzyme A (CoA) which transports fatty acids into the mitochondria of cells. It is one of the most important enzymes in the body and is also critical for many other functions ranging from antibody synthesis to maintaining blood sugar levels. The pathway of pantethine is much shorter than pantothenic acid. Each capsule contains 250 mg. Inert ingredients are hypoallergenic plant fiber an vegetable capsule.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Pantethine's primary use is in lowering high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood while increasing the good HDL cholesterol. Pantothenic acid has no such activity.
