NOW Foods Pantothenic Acid 500mg - Energy & Metabolism Support

NOW Foods has been a trusted leader in nutritional supplements since 1968, backed by GMP certification and rigorous quality testing. Their Pantothenic Acid 500mg delivers pharmaceutical-grade Vitamin B-5—a vital nutrient often overlooked in Bangladesh's rice and lentil-heavy diet. Now available across Bangladesh at a transparent price of ৳2,060 for 100 capsules, this essential B-complex vitamin supports energy production, hormone synthesis, and cellular metabolism with the quality assurance NOW Foods is known for worldwide.

What Makes NOW Foods Pantothenic Acid Different?

Unlike generic B-vitamin supplements flooding the Bangladesh market, NOW Foods Pantothenic Acid offers distinct advantages rooted in manufacturing excellence. Each capsule contains 500mg of pure pantothenic acid (Vitamin B-5) manufactured in GMP-certified facilities with third-party verification. NOW Foods uses pharmaceutical-grade ingredients with strict identity, purity, and composition testing—ensuring you receive genuine Vitamin B-5, not filler-heavy alternatives.

The brand's 50+ year heritage in supplement innovation means advanced bioavailability formulations. Their pantothenic acid absorbs efficiently in the digestive tract, maximizing coenzyme A (CoA) synthesis—the molecule responsible for converting food into cellular energy. Natural color variation in capsules proves authenticity (synthetic products maintain uniform appearance through artificial dyes). For Bangladesh consumers concerned about counterfeit supplements, NOW Foods' tamper-evident sealing and batch-number traceability provide peace of mind that generic brands cannot match.

Key Health Benefits & Why Bangladesh Needs Vitamin B-5

Pantothenic acid plays a foundational role in human metabolism, yet many Bangladeshis consume suboptimal amounts due to dietary patterns and food processing methods. This essential nutrient supports:

• Energy Production from All Macronutrients: As a component of coenzyme A, Vitamin B-5 helps convert fats, carbohydrates, and proteins into ATP (cellular energy). For Bangladesh's working professionals experiencing afternoon fatigue, adequate pantothenic acid supports sustained energy without stimulants.
• Adrenal Gland Function: Pantothenic acid is necessary for producing adrenal hormones that regulate stress response. Given urban stress levels in Dhaka and Chittagong, supporting adrenal health helps maintain resilience during demanding schedules.
• Cholesterol and Fat Metabolism: CoA enables the biosynthesis of cholesterol and fatty acids, supporting cardiovascular health and hormone production. This matters for Bangladesh's growing middle class adopting more sedentary lifestyles.
• Neurotransmitter Synthesis: Vitamin B-5 supports the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter vital for memory, focus, and cognitive function—beneficial for students and professionals alike.
• Red Blood Cell Formation: Adequate pantothenic acid supports hemoglobin production, complementing iron-rich diets common in Bangladesh.
• Healthy Skin and Wound Healing: By supporting cellular metabolism and repair processes, Vitamin B-5 helps maintain skin integrity and tissue regeneration.

Bangladesh's food processing methods (polishing rice, overcooking vegetables) deplete natural pantothenic acid content. Supplementation ensures your body receives adequate B-5 for optimal metabolic function, regardless of dietary limitations.

Product Specifications & What's Inside

Active Ingredients

Per Capsule: 500mg Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B-5) from Calcium Pantothenate

This provides 10,000% of the Daily Value, reflecting therapeutic dosing for metabolic support. The calcium salt form ensures stability and optimal absorption in the digestive tract.

Full Ingredient List

Active: Pantothenic Acid (from Calcium Pantothenate) 500mg

Other Ingredients: Hypromellose (cellulose capsule), Microcrystalline Cellulose, Stearic Acid (vegetable source), Silicon Dioxide

Allergen Information: Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, or tree nut ingredients. Produced in a GMP facility that processes other allergens but follows strict cross-contamination protocols.

Purity & Safety Standards

NOW Foods maintains NSF International GMP certification and conducts stability testing, microbial analysis, and heavy metal screening on every batch. Their pantothenic acid undergoes identity verification using HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) to confirm molecular structure and potency. Unlike unregulated supplements in Bangladesh's open market, NOW products meet stringent international quality standards, with certificates of analysis available upon request through authorized distributors like Somvranto.

Natural Color Variation Notice: As stated by the manufacturer, natural color variation may occur between batches—a hallmark of pure ingredients without synthetic dyes. This is normal and does not affect product efficacy.

How to Use NOW Pantothenic Acid 500mg - Dosage & Timing

Recommended Serving: Take 1 capsule daily with a meal.

Best Timing: Morning or midday with breakfast or lunch provides optimal absorption, as dietary fats enhance B-vitamin uptake. Taking with food also minimizes any potential stomach sensitivity (though pantothenic acid is generally well-tolerated).

For First-Time Users: Start with the single daily capsule as directed. B-vitamins are water-soluble, meaning excess amounts are excreted through urine—your body uses what it needs and eliminates the rest. Some users notice bright yellow urine, which is harmless and indicates B-vitamin metabolism.

Storage Instructions: Store in a cool, dry place after opening. Avoid bathroom storage (humidity degrades capsules). Keep the bottle tightly sealed to maintain potency.

Who Should Consult a Physician First: Pregnant or nursing women should consult their healthcare provider before use (though pantothenic acid is generally considered safe during pregnancy at recommended doses). Those taking medications for blood thinners, diabetes, or other conditions should discuss B-vitamin supplementation with their doctor, as high-dose B-complex can interact with certain pharmaceuticals. Individuals with known medical conditions should seek professional guidance before starting any supplement regimen.
