D-Panthenol is a compound equivalent to D-pantothenic acid and serves as a precursor to coenzyme A. It is an important vitamin supplement that, once absorbed by the body, can be converted into pantothenic acid and subsequently used to synthesize coenzyme A. This process facilitates the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in the body, while also protecting the mucous membranes and maintaining the skin’s luster. Additionally, D-panthenol helps prevent the occurrence of various diseases.
