Short Description:

Calcium D-Pantothenate Vitamin b5
Calcium pantothenate is a type of B vitamin and one of the essential nutrients for normal biological growth. Calcium pantothenate exists in three forms due to its chiral carbon atoms: DL form (mixed form), D-form (right-handed form), and L-form (left-handed form). Only D-calcium pantothenate has biological activity, appearing as white or slightly yellow needle shaped crystals or powder, with a melting point of 195-196 ℃ (decomposition), soluble in water, methanol, glycerol, and slightly soluble in ethanol and acetone. It has hygroscopicity, a slight sweetness, but turns slightly bitter. In terms of chemical stability, it is most stable in aqueous solutions with pH values between 5 and 7, more stable in air and sunlight, and less stable in acids and bases.
