Message definition (Pantothenic acid)
As a dietary supplement, pantothenic acid is not the same as [[pantethine]], which is composed of two pantothenic acid molecules linked by a [[disulfide]] bridge. Sold as a high-dose supplement (600 mg), pantethine may be effective for lowering blood levels of [[LDL cholesterol]] – a [[risk factor]] for cardiovascular diseases – but its long-term effects are unknown, requiring that its use be supervised by a physician. Dietary supplementation with pantothenic acid does not have the same effect on LDL.
