Before explaining what pantethine is, it is important to understand Co-Enzyme A. Co-Enzyme A is a substance that is found in the body and plays a key role in the metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. It is also essential for the synthesis of other necessary biological substances such as acetylcholine. Pantothenic acid, (vitamin B5), is a key constituent of Co-Enzyme A. In the synthesis of Co-Enzyme A, pantetheine is an important intermediate in the transformation of pantothenic acid to Co-Enzyme A. This brings us to the answer of what is pantethine? Pantethine is the disulfide form (or a double bond) of pantetheine that was developed in order to stabilize pantetheine to a usable form. Therefore, pantethine is a derivative of pantothenic acid that can be used in a variety of nutritional applications.
