NSI Pantethine From Pantesin -- 450 mg - 120 Tablets

NSI Pantethine From Pantesin -- 450 mg - 120 Tablets

High-quality variety of pantethine, which is related to vitamin B5, found to promote benefits for cholesterol, energy, stress, and neurological function. NSI® Pantethine from Pantesin™ is related to pantothenic acid, or vitamin B5, however, unlike water-soluble pantothenic acid, pantethine remains in the bloodstream for a longer period of time. This may increase its benefits for cholesterol support and other health factors, including, stress management, neurological function, and the production, transporting, and release of energy from fats. Pantethine plays an important role in the body's energy metabolism. It is a necessary factor for the Kreb's cycle of energy production, and together with vitamins B1, B2, and B3, helps to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body's fuel for energy. This may result in increased energy and vitality. B5 is required for the formation of lipids, as well as the production of steroids and neurotransmitters. Vitamin B5 is also needed to make the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which transports information between vertebral nerve cells. Pantothenic acid is effective for stress management, as it activates the adrenal glands, which may help the body to combat stress. Doctor's Recommendation:. “Pantesin appears to be better absorbed, and overall, may be more effective compared to other inferior pantethine products. For improved heart and cholesterol health and increased energy, I highly recommend that you consider adding pantethine in the Pantesin form to your daily supplement regimen.”. - Dr. Allen S. Josephs, M.D. Board Certified Internal Medicine, Neurology. - Co-Founder & Chairman, Vitacost.com. Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

"It doesn't contain as much real Pantethine as other brands. Look on the back, it says 55% while the front of the bottle says 450 mg.

I did try Source Naturals before I tried this product and wished I would have reordered it instead. I like most NSI products, but not this one. I couldn't feel it like I did w/ Source Naturals 300 mg Pantethine.

"I ordered this product because I was so impressed with my cholesterol results, but had been taking another brand (softgels) which was expensive. The price was right for these, but they are huge and difficult to swallow. They are tablets and gave me indigestion. I ended up not being able to use them and had to order the other product."

"Nine month's ago I decided to focus on a sustainable healthy diet, exercise and additional supplements for lowering my cholesterol, triglycerides and weight. I have always eaten healthy but in too large servings and a little too much saturated fat. Of my three goals only my triglycerides have lowered dramatically. I believe it's related to the pantethine, as the other markers have only improved slightly."

"I compared this product side-by-side with Jarrow's Pantethine and guess what? NSI's has only half the pantethine as Jarrows. So, while NSI's is cheaper, Jarrows has more product for our bucks. And I translate that to more effective. I have just started on pantethine, so I don't have any results to report yet."

"This is a quality product provided by NSI/Vitacost. However, after a month of use, I have experienced no enhancement in well-being, energy, etc. I will not continue pantethine in my future regimen."

"I believe Pantesin is safer than the Statin drugs. NSI has the best price I've found. Taking this product once per day with my last meal before bedtime works best."
