Pantothenic Acid

Vitamin B 5 (pantothenic acid) supplements are not subject to initial review by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The agency does not have the authority to examine dietary supplement products for safety and effectiveness prior to marketing. Out of all the drugs listed in this indications section, only panthenol and dexpanthenol are approved by the FDA for use in cosmetics. All other indications listed are non-FDA approved.( Sanvictores 2022 ) Compared to other B vitamins, the direct effects of vitamin B 5 supplementation are limited. Therefore, the impact of B 5 must be gathered through its known metabolism that has thus far highlighted cysteamine’s pro-inflammatory properties. Given the importance of coenzyme A, additional studies appear to be warranted to determine their effect on inflammatory processes and cancer. Analysis of pantothenate in the absence of pantetheinase activities, while challenging, may shed light on the more subtle roles of pantetheine in human health.( Peterson 2020 )
