Pantethine is the active form of vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid. Supplementation 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 a good 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 general well-being. Finally, it is also essential for phase II hepatic detoxification, and can protect against fatty liver degeneration and other types of liver damage better than ordinary vitamin B5.

In 1996, AOR launched the first standalone Canadian 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 experiencing constant stress, and those suffering from liver disorders.
