Isn’t this the same study that was posted about the other day, in which pantothenate was the substance they used to dull the appetite for sugar. Vitamin B5 is pantothenic acid. Any chemists out there know if taking pantothenic acid will convert to pantothenate in the body?
Yes, pantothenic acid supplements convert to pantothenate in the body. Pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5, is the precursor to pantothenate, the biologically active form used in various metabolic processes. After ingestion, pantothenic acid is absorbed in the small intestine and converted into coenzyme A (CoA) and acyl-carrier protein (ACP), both of which contain pantothenate as a core component.
