What we use: Calcium D-Pantothenate¹²
What it does:
- Makes Coenzyme A (which your body needs for almost everything)¹²
- Creates stress and sex hormones¹²
- Breaks down fats, proteins, and carbs for energy¹²
- Helps make red blood cells¹²
When you don't get enough:
- Burning feet syndrome (your feet feel like they're on fire, especially at night)¹²
- Feel super tired all the time¹²
- Feel sad and depressed¹²
- Stomach hurts¹²
- Get sick more often¹²
Why we pay more for this form: Pantothenic acid in its pure form is a really sticky oil that loves pulling water from the air. This isn't great for a dry powder... so, we use the form bound to calcium, which means it pulls in less moisture, and stays drier, better.¹²
