What is in Pantethine?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 2 capsules. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pantethine | 660 mg | Higher than 96% of 94 products listing pantethine (median 50 mg). Per day at the most servings: 1,320 mg. | |
| Pantesin | 1.2 g | 24,000%* | This amount is far outside what other labels list for pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. |
* % Daily Value computed from the printed amount and the FDA Daily Value (21 CFR 101.9); the label prints none for that row.

Is that a lot?
The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:
- Its 660 mg of pantethine is higher than 96% of the 94 pantethine products that print an amount; 2 list more.
The NIH database records 2 servings 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.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.
