  • Its 200 mg of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is higher than 95% of the 10,060 pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) products that print an amount; 406 list more.

The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
