Provitamin B-5 and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Provitamin B-5, commonly referred to as Panthenol, is a chemical compound derived from Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5). It is often included in food and cosmetic products for its moisturizing and vitamin-enhancing properties. In the body, it is converted into Vitamin B5, which is essential for synthesizing coenzyme-A, crucial in fatty acid metabolism and energy production.
