Replenishes pantothenic acid deficiency. Dexpanthenol is converted in the body into the active metabolite — pantothenic acid, which plays an important role in metabolic processes: in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and phospholipids. It ensures the formation of corticosteroids and acetylation of choline. Participates in the restoration and regeneration of the epithelium and mucous membranes, locally stimulates fibroblasts, the formation of collagen (increases strength) and elastin fibers, and accelerates mitosis.
