For this reason practitioners often suggest it for those with a demanding lifestyle and inflammatory conditions such as arthritis.
Lamberts Calcium Pantothenate 500mg Time Release is a high strength pantothenic acid supplement made in the UK to pharmaceutical standards. The tablets are formulated by Lamberts so that the vitamin is gradually released over a period of 6 to 8 hours after swallowing so that it more closely matches how a nutrient is released from food during digestion.
Pantothenic acid plays a part in releasing energy from food, and contributes to normal mental performance. It also contributes to the normal synthesis of natural steroid hormones and nerve chemicals called neurotransmitters. Like many of the B vitamins it also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
The name pantothenic acid comes from the Greek word "pantothen" meaning "from everywhere" and is often referred to as vitamin B5. And whilst the body can't make it (which is part of the definition of being a vitamin); it can be produced from bacteria living in the digestive system, as long as ones system is running smoothly.
Pantothenic acid is a constituent of coenzyme A, which is essential for energy release from food.

This is a high strength pantothenic acid supplement with each tablet providing 500mg. Due to its strength we have made the tablets time release so that they gradually release the pantothenic acid over a period of 6 to 8 hours after swallowing. This more closely matches the way a nutrient is released from food during digestion.
