Pantothenic acid, also called vitamin B5, is involved in the
production of energy in the body and is required to the
neurotransmitter known as acetylcholine. One of pantothenic acid's
most notable properties is the role it plays in producing and
releasing energy from fats. The body's ability to process
cholesterol depends on normal levels on pantothenic acid.
Pantethine, a derivative of pantothenic acid, is believed to lower
levels of harmful cholesterol and triglycerides in the
blood.
Pantothenic acid is also commonly referred to as pantethine.
