HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pantothenic Acid 100 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: pantothenic acid 100 mg per capsule, a B vitamin that your body needs to make energy from food and to keep your skin and nervous system healthy. The rest is inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — which are the capsule shell and standard fillers that help hold the tablet together.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: energy production.
  • We looked for evidence on: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Athletic performance, Pantothenic acid deficiency.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Pantothenic Acid is rated "Effective" for Pantothenic acid deficiency (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Pantothenic Acid is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).

Pantothenic acid is effective for treating pantothenic acid deficiency, a real but uncommon shortage of this B vitamin. For radiation dermatitis (skin damage from radiation therapy), the evidence suggests it's probably not effective.

For allergic rhinitis (hay fever), alopecia areata (patchy hair loss), and alcoholism, there isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to say whether it works or not.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Pantothenic Acid

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Pantothenic acid taken by mouth is generally well tolerated with few side effects; diarrhea has been reported in some people. The safety data notes that normal dietary amounts and those in prenatal vitamins are appropriate, but if you're thinking about taking high-dose supplements beyond this 100 mg dose, check with your doctor first.

In pregnancy and while breastfeeding, pantothenic acid is considered likely safe, though as always, talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you.

Pantothenic Acid 100 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe: Common Questions

Does Pantothenic Acid 100 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Pantothenic Acid 100 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Pantothenic Acid 100 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this pantothenic acid supplement give me side effects?
Pantothenic acid by mouth is generally well tolerated. The most common side effect reported is diarrhea. Most people don't experience side effects at typical doses like this 100 mg capsule.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Pantothenic acid is considered likely safe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding, including at the doses in prenatal vitamins. That said, every pregnancy is different — check with your own doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you.
What is pantothenic acid actually for?
Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) helps your body make energy from the food you eat and keeps your skin and nervous system working properly. It's effective for treating a pantothenic acid deficiency, though that's uncommon in people eating a normal diet.
Is this supplement effective for hair loss or allergies?
For alopecia areata (patchy hair loss) and hay fever, there isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to say whether pantothenic acid works. The evidence for radiation-related skin damage suggests it's probably not effective for that.
Should I be worried about the inactive ingredients like magnesium stearate?
The inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — are standard capsule fillers and binders. They're present in very small amounts and are generally well tolerated.
