Interactions
synergistic. Pantothenic acid is essential for CoA synthesis, which is required for CoQ10 biosynthesis via the mevalonate pathway
competes. Both share the SMVT (sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter) for intestinal absorption; very high doses of one may modestly reduce absorption of the other
synergistic. Both concentrated in adrenal glands and support adrenal function during stress; B5 via CoA-dependent steroidogenesis, vitamin C as an antioxidant cofactor
