A water-soluble antioxidant vitamin needed for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins; it is found in cereals, legumes, meat and other foods
(Chemistry) vitamin B5, vitamin found in all plant and animal tissues (necessary for biosynthesis of coenzyme A)
Optional on nutrition label unless added as a nutrient supplement Helps regulate the use of carbohydrate, fat, and protein for energy production RDI = 10 mg

calcium pantothenate, a B vitamin
One of the constituents of the vitamin B complex Can cause nutritional gill disease if deficient in diet
Is a water-soluble B complex vitamin that plays a major role in cellular metabolism and is synthesized by the bacterial flora in the intestinal tract It functions as a coenzyme that participates in the release of energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins and in the utilization of riboflavin With adequate intake, it can improve the animals ability to withstand stressful conditions, such as toxicity effects from antibiotic therapy Deficiencies may result in poor skin conditions, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), or abnormal exhaustion
Organic compound, essential in animal metabolism. The nature of the bound form was clarified through the discovery and synthesis (1947-50) of the compound pantetheine, which contains pantothenic acid combined with the compound thioethanolamine. Pantetheine is part of two larger compounds (coenzyme A and acyl-carrier protein) that promote a large number of metabolic reactions essential for the growth and well-being of animals. A dietary deficiency severe enough to lead to clear-cut disease has not been described in humans; however, when a person is severely malnourished, deficiency of the vitamin appears to contribute to the observed weakness and mental depression
A B-complex vitamin necessary for the normal functioning of the adrenal gland, which directly affects growth It is also essential for the formation of fatty acids As a coenzyme, it participates in the utilization of riboflavin and in the release of energy from carbohydrates, fats and proteins
Water sluble; essential for the release of energy from food, needed for healthy growth and the production of antibodies
