Natural Factors BioCoenzymated, B5, Pantethine, 450 mg, 60 Softgels

Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is an essential nutrient used in the synthesis of coenzyme A (CoA), a cofactor in many metabolic pathways. CoA is important for carbohydrate, lipid, protein, and energy metabolism. Pantethine is the coenzyme form of vitamin B5. Taking Pantethine allows for greater absorption and bioavailability than non-coenzyme forms. Pantethine helps support healthy serum lipid levels and is important for healthy cardiovascular function through its antioxidant activity. Natural Factors uses branded Pantesin®, a high-quality pharmaceutical-grade form of pantethine. What does coenzymated mean? In order for B vitamins to be utilized effectively by the body, they must be converted into their metabolically active coenzyme forms. For example, the coenzyme form of pantothenic acid is pantethine. A coenzyme is a naturally occurring compound that partners with specific enzymes in order to help promote a number of beneficial metabolic reactions in the body. Without the coenzyme, the enzyme cannot promote the biochemical reaction that is responsible for our survival. This dual cooperation between coenzyme and enzyme is a process called coenzymated. Taking B vitamins already in their coenzymated forms allows the body to use them directly. Thus, the amount that is needed by the body is less in order to achieve the same benefits. Biocoenzymated takes it one step further. Using our proprietary EnviroSimplex® technology, we've created a unique biocoenzymated process using organic, farm fresh plant extracts from whole food sources and the coenzyme form of B vitamins. The synergy between the phytochemicals found in these plant extracts and the coenzyme B vitamin optimizes absorption. The results? Biocoenzymated delivers the most metabolically active nutrients to your cells to utilize most effectively. Feel the difference.
