Jarrow Formulas Pantethine 450 mg - Derivative of Vitamin B5 - 60 Servings (Softgels) - Support Heart Health, Carbohydrate & Lipid Metabolism - Coenzyme A (CoA) Precursor - Pantothenic Acid Supplement

Most people never heard of someone with total cholesterol over 400. It’s 100% genetic in my family. My mother is 480, my father was 380, my sister is 410, etc. None of us take statins. My mother is 92 and has no heart issues. My father never had heart issues and passed away at 96 from falling.A common reaction is that I’m probably obese, I eat junk, and/or I don’t exercise.At age 63, I’m not obese or overweight. I’m 5’0” and weigh 97 pounds.My meals have been the same for many years. Green tea and a half bagel with some cream cheese for breakfast. A green smoothie (cranberry juice, lemon peel, strawberries, blueberries, banana, apple, spinach, kale, and collagen powder), dried cranberries, nuts, and one cookie or small chocolate for lunch. A salad, fruit, cooked vegetable, and small portion of the main meal for dinner. I limit myself to eating out (junk food) two times a month. My vice is a half scoop of ice cream at night.I’m a workout fanatic and taught bootcamp classes at the gym before Covid broke out. Last year, I did 376 workouts. I live at 7,000 elevation. My workouts are very rigorous for a 63 year old female. As people ski downhill, I’m the only one skate skiing uphill. I don’t use chair lifts. I mountain bike uphill to the summit at 8,500 feet. I do 5K races and usually finish in the top 3 at 7,000 elevation for my age group 60-69.Being so physically active, I hated statins. It bothered my muscles and joints and affected my workouts. I discovered Pantethine is for people like me who genetically have high cholesterol and can’t lower their cholesterol through diet and exercise. I took 1 Pantethine capsule per day with my dinner for 4 months as an experiment and had my bloodwork redone. The results are:Total Cholesterol from 413 to 325HDL from 66 to 66LDL from 329 to 242Tryglicerides from 90 to 83This product actually works. There’s no way I could have dropped my total cholesterol from 413 to 325 without it. There was only 1 side effect. My sleep is much better now. About 2 times a week, I woke up and tossed and turned in bed for 2-3 hours. After taking Pantethine, that only happened 2 times in 4 months. I still wake up, but I fall asleep pretty easily. I would highly recommend this product if you have high cholesterol because of bad genes.

This product delivers the best quality and easiest to swallow pantetheine I have used. I have a deficiency in B5 and this product works the best to correct it. It is one of the only supplements that I have purchased repeatedly and I am never without it.

Great for weak adrenals

Idk whats in this, or if i just may be extra sensitive to it, but this made me so sick. A week or so ago, i thought i had caught a stomach bug. I was vomiting and had (TMI) waterfall diarrhea for 4 straight days. All of this started as soon as i added this to my vitamin regime, but i never thought a supplement could make me so sick. I’ve never in my life ever had any such reaction to any supplement. Maybe mild discomfort, but never as bad as this was. I ended up having to go to the ER because i couldn’t keep anything down not even pepto, and i was so dehydrated that my body was weak and in so much pain. I ate nothing for like 4 days and lost like 10lbs! I stopped taking this along with all my other vitamins because i would literally just vomit it all up as soon as i swallowed them. They gave me pain medication and anti vomiting meds + saline to hydrate me at the hospital. And they told me that i tested negative for bacterial and viral infection. I was so confused. Then why is my stomach in so much pain?!. I came back home and slowly started re-introducing food as well as my vitamins. I started with the vitamins I was most familiar with. The ones that I’ve taken for months with no problem. Well yesterday i added this back into the mix and what’ll you know, projectile vomiting and waterfall diarrhea 2hrs later. I vomited about 5 times yesterday and can’t even count the amount of times it came out the other end. At one point i chucked this in the garbage and glared at it as it got coated in my 5th vomit round (at this point it was just bile). This made me violently sick. I was so in so much pain, and so weak after being sick for hours that it was hard to even fall asleep. Lucky i still had some of the meds they prescribed me at the hospital last week. The only thing that stopped the sickness was prayer and OD-ing on the dissolvable pepto (i just let it sit in my mouth and slowly dissolve, every time i tried to chew and swallow =🤮). Once i broke the cycle i could take the meds from the hospital with the tiniest sip of water. Yea idk what’s in this but my body hates it.

I just started this again after ages of going without. I sure missed it. It is such a great contribution to keeping me more calm and less hyped up at times. It is on my daily take this first list along with my B12 sublingual. I love the flavor.Thank you Jarrow!

Came melted as a lump. Got refunded.Bought 8 times over the years and never had the issue before this order.Seems to lower TGs but but not sure because last bloodtests the primary stated it was not enough of a drop. But when I initially started it, I had better results. However, I also became heavier over the years which also has effect on TG.But when you receive a product that's melted together, it does make you wonder if some of the effects can be altered through heat destroying the product but not enough to melt it. So I don't know if I'll keep buying it through through the website.I would say there's something to the mechanism that is effective, but you may have to experiment by eliminating everything else that you're supplementing and then only use this supplement, get a blood test after a month or two and then if the numbers are still not good, without adding anything else, not changing any other habit, double dose and see if that changes any numbers.The only way to not sully the study is to not throw everything at the wall to see what sticks. While you may be able to do that initially, you'll have to start eliminating things and then combining to see what mechanism was. What actually is helping. So many reviews don't take into account other factors in health of the person such as diet, exercise load, for other medications and supplements taken.
