Dexpanthenol and the Pescatarian Diet
Dexpanthenol, commonly referred to as Panthenol or Provitamin B-5, is a chemical substance derived from pantothenic acid, a vitamin B5. It is widely used in the food industry as a nutrient supplement and in the cosmetic industry for its moisturizing properties. In food, it may be present in energy drinks, fortified cereals, and dietary supplements. The ingredient can be synthesized from both plant and animal sources, which is a critical consideration for those following specific diets.
