Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5) is a water-soluble B-vitamin widely used in pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and cosmetic formulations. It plays a crucial role in the synthesis and metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, and is essential for maintaining healthy skin, hair, and cellular functions.
🏭⚗️ Production
Calcium pantothenate is produced through chemical synthesis or fermentation processes, followed by crystallization and purification. The final product is obtained as a stable, white, crystalline powder suitable for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.
🔬 Properties
Calcium pantothenate appears as a white, odorless, and tasteless crystalline powder. It is soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol, but insoluble in organic non-polar solvents. Chemically, it is the calcium salt of pantothenic acid and is stable under normal storage conditions, although it can degrade under strong acidic or basic conditions.
🧪 Applications
In pharmaceuticals, calcium pantothenate is used in multivitamin and B-complex formulations, nutritional supplements, and injectable solutions. In cosmetics, it is added to hair care and skin care products for its moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative effects. It also supports wound healing and enhances overall cellular metabolism in topical formulations.
⚠️ Safety
Calcium pantothenate is generally regarded as safe for oral and topical use. Overconsumption may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in rare cases. Proper handling includes avoiding inhalation of fine powders and storing in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture to maintain potency.
