Panthenol and the Pescatarian Diet

Panthenol is a chemical substance derived from pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5. It is widely used in both the food and cosmetic industries due to its ability to moisturize and retain moisture. In the body, panthenol is converted to vitamin B5, which plays a crucial role in energy production and the synthesis of fatty acids. It can be found in both animal and plant sources, making it suitable for most dietary preferences, including pescatarian diets.
