Dexpanthenol and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Dexpanthenol, commonly referred to as Provitamin B-5, is a derivative of pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) and is often used for its moisturizing properties in cosmetics and as a nutrient fortifier in food products. It is a member of the Vitamin B-Complex group and plays a role in synthesizing coenzyme A, which is essential for fatty acid metabolism. In foods, it enhances nutritional value, while in topical products, it helps improve hydration, elasticity, and wound healing of the skin.
