Pantethine
Pantethine is the stable structure of Pantetheine, which is the biologially active form of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5.) It is the precursor to co-enzyme A (CoA.) Co-enzyme A plays a central role in the production of energy in your cells via a biochemical pathway called the Krebs' cycle. This involves the production of energy from fats & carbohydrates. Pantothenic acid is also essential for adrenal gland function.
Chemicals known as acetaldehydes accumulate in your body from alcohol intake, cigarette smoking, chronic candida infections & vehicle exhaust fumes. The aldehydes inhibit co-enzyme A & thus decrease energy production. Chronic aldehyde exposure also contributes to heart disease & has damaging effects on brain function. Acetaldehyde also impairs the red blood cells delivery of oxygen to your body's cells. It also induces a deficiency of vitamin B1, B3, & pyridoxal-5-phosphate. Pantethine has been found to help decrease aldehyde levels.
Pantethine is useful for:
Helping with the symptoms of formaldehyde exposure in chemically sensitive individuals.
Decreasing cholesterol & triglycerides.
Increasing HDL, thus creating a more favorable Chol/HDL ratio which is the atherogenic index of your body.
Reducing cardiovascular risk by inhibiting platelet clumping & the production of the inflammation producing chemical, thromboxane A2.

Assist in yeast & fungal toxin clearance, supports adrenals & intestinal lining, helps normalize blood lipids We find Pantethine, the active form of Vitamin-B5 ( Pantothenic Acid ), indispensable as a support nutrient in addressing adrenal deficiency, immune weakness, normalization of lipid metabolism and a host of gastro-intestinal disorders. It is also a powerful ally in the body's fight against acetaldehyde and formaldehyde, powerful toxins produced in the system of individuals with Candidiasis ( yeast overgrowth ) and alcohol consumers. These toxins produce cognitive impairment, fatigue, pain, flu like symptoms and lowered immune function. Pantethine is also helpful to individuals who were treated with prednisone and require weaning from this or other steroidal pharmaceuticals, as well as those suffering with colitis, Crohn's disease, candidiasis and all auto-immune disorders We have witnessed remarkable reversals in many of the multiple chemical sensitivities cases we have treated with Pantethine when combined with Molybdenum Picolinate and adrenal support remedies such as Cortrex and Imperial Elixir Siberian Ginseng 5000 . INGREDIENTS: Each capsule contains Pantethine Octahydrate 250 mg. RECOMMENDED USAGE: 1 capsule, 2-4 times daily, may be taken with or without food, last dose no later than 4 PM.
