(calcium pantothenate) Pantothenic acid, also called
vitamin B5 (a
B vitamin), is a water-
soluble vitamin required to sustain life (
essential nutrient). Pantothenic acid is needed to form
coenzyme-A (CoA), and is critical in the metabolism and synthesis of
carbohydrates,
proteins, and
fats. In chemical structure, it is the amide between D-pantoate and
beta-alanine. Its name is derived from the
Greek pantothen (παντόθεν) meaning "from everywhere" and small quantities of pantothenic acid are found in nearly every food, with high amounts in
whole-grain cereals,
legumes,
eggs,
meat, and
royal jelly. It is commonly found as its alcohol analog, the
provitamin panthenol, and as
calcium pantothenate.
Thiamine, or
thiamin, sometimes called
aneurin, is a water-soluble
vitamin of the
B complex (vitamin B1), whose
phosphate derivatives are involved in many cellular processes. The best characterized form is
thiamine diphosphate (ThDP), a
coenzyme in the
catabolism of
sugars and
amino acids. Some other foods rich in thiamine are
oatmeal,
flax and
Sunflower seeds,
brown rice, whole grain
rye,
asparagus,
kale,
cauliflower,
potatoes,
oranges,
liver (beef, pork and chicken) and
eggs.
