Plain vitamin B5 is pantothenic acid. When pantothenic acid is joined to a small molecule called cysteamine, the result is pantetheine, and two pantetheine units linked by a sulphur bridge make pantethine. That pairing is why its full chemical name is so long. Pantethine sits further along the path from pantothenic acid toward coenzyme A than the plain vitamin does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach softgel holds 450 mg of D-pantethine as its only medicinal ingredient. The softgel itself is made from gelatin, glycerin and purified water, so this product is not vegetarian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBioCoenzymated is the Natural Factors name for its range of B vitamins in coenzyme or active forms. B5 in the product name simply marks pantethine as part of the vitamin B5 family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitasave carries pantethine and pantothenic acid from a few brands:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompound\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePer unit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCount\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBioCoenzymated Pantethine B5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePantethine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e450 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60 softgels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAOR Pantethine 300 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePantethine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90 vegetarian capsules\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNOW Pantothenic Acid 500 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePantothenic acid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 capsules\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis softgel has the most pantethine per unit of the three.
