Hello everyone,
Due to my digestion issues (related to SIBO), I am highly sensitive to various fillers present in orally taken supplements. The regular pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) supplement, which contains D-Calcium, doesn't suit me well as any form of calcium tends to cause constipation.
I experimented with another form called Panthenol, but it led to severe brain fog due to the glycerin filler. Recently, I came across a Pantothenic acid variant made with Sodium. Although I haven't tried it yet, I usually tolerate Sodium well, given my lower than normal blood pressure.
However, the product is labeled as "Food Grade." I'm curious to know the distinction between Food Grade and Pharmaceutical Grade. Can a chemical labeled as Food Grade be safely consumed orally by humans?
Here is the link for the product:
