Answer by  mara (42)

Pantethine (co-enzyme B-5) may improve your overall lipid profile by increasing the "good" cholesterol, leading to a healthier balance between HDL and LDL. The benefits of supplementing with Pantethine are still being discovered.

Answer by  steverino (275)

Pantethine is a member of the B complex of vitamins, B5 to be exact. There have been some studies suggesting that large doses may help lower LDL ( bad) and raise HDL ( good) cholesterol. However, there is not conclusive evidence, and there are many other strategies you can employ to battle cholesterol issues.
