Pangamic acid is an ester derived from gluconic acid and dimethylglycine.[1] It was first isolated by Ernst T. Krebs from apricot kernels,[2] and has since been identified in some foods such as pulses.[3]
Pangamic acid is also known as vitamin B15, but it is not widely accepted as a vitamin because it has not been shown to be essential in the human diet, and a deficiency in consumption of pangamic acid is not associated with any disease.[4]
The calcium salt of pangamic acid, calcium pangamate, is used as a mineral supplement.
