BulkSupplements.com Vitamin B5 Powder - as Calcium Pantothenate, B5 Vitamins - Gluten Free, 500mg of Vitamin B5 Pantothenic Acid per Serving, 500g (1.1 lbs) (Pack of 1)

Great quality

I used to buy the capsules but Bulk Supplements B5 powder is a better value. When my legs feel 'heavy' and I'm dragging I take a tsp of this with a chug of water and 30 minutes later I have ENERGY!!! no odor but ALL B5 has a bitter taste, best to chug it down fast for me. All in all, I like Bulk Supplements brand for the value/ quality and this B5 doesnt give me jitters either.

Haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it will work just as well as the other pantothenic powder I've been using. Just a heads up - I took some pretty crude weight measurements for the powder - the numbers I got were ~1.7g for 1/2 tsp and ~6.2g for 1 tbsp. Those would be equal to ~850mg and ~1000mg for 1/4 tsp, respectively (obviously a big difference between those numbers, but you get the idea). This is somewhat higher than the listed weight for 1/4 tsp, which is 748mg, and some of the powder got stuck on the sides of the funnel and spoons, so my measurements were probably slightly low. Lastly, it took me like 5 minutes to correctly line up the seal to close the bag. Probably just me though. I've been taking around 6.3 a day at every meal, which adds up to somewhere around 19g a day. It definitely has been working well to keep my acne to a minimum (I've been using another brand, but like I said, pantothenic is pantothenic. I'll update this if, for some reason, this powder doesn't work as good as my previous brand). I actually previously had my acne pretty well under control by adhering to a strict diet of eating only vegetables, meat, fish, and nuts, but I got sick of that and knew that it would become difficult in college, so I opted for an easier way out. Major tip: Mix it with warm water if it's turning to a white glob in your glass! The warmer the water, the faster it will dissolve! If you're taking as much as I am, you might want it borderline hot!

BulkSupplements contacted me offering to send me a product of my choice in exchange for a review of the product within 14 days. I chose Vitamin B5 to help with adult acne based on reviews I've read on other websites. I don't know if what I have would be classified as "adult acne;" but whatever it is (relatively continuous small breakouts), it started when I turned 27. Prior to that, I NEVER had issues with acne - even as a teenager. Anyway, after years of experimenting with everything imaginable to clear my skin, I figured I'd give this a try. So far, I would like to believe that I see slight improvement; however, I don't believe it's been long enough to make an informed decision. I'm simply giving BulkSupplements what they asked for - a review within 14 days. Hopefully I'll remember to give an update after a month of continuous use. Tastes terrible, by the way. But I expected this much. UPDATE: 5/09/2014 I've been taking this product consistently since I first received it and even purchased an additional 100 grams in an effort to be both hopeful and patient for skin results. Although I have not noticed any drastic improvements, I *want to believe* that it's working. My pores may be slightly less noticeable. And I may have slightly less serious breakouts. I have noticed that I haven't had any cystic nodules pop up since I've been taking B5 - so that's a plus. I think that drastic improvements may be unrealistic and it's possible that the improvements happen over time... say, three months or so? Ergo, I will continue to take more/purchase more. I suppose patience is key when awaiting change. UPDATE: 7/06/2014 Still taking the B-5 consistently. I can finally see a difference. My face isn't 100% clear, but it is by far the clearest it has been since my skin troubles started. I am officially impressed. I will absolutely recommend this product - for those who are willing to be patient for amazing results. Good luck!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO FIX ISSUES WITH THE BAG NOT SEALING PROPERLY --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First off, let me start with this little tip that will save you from the potential headache of the zipper on the bag not sealing properly. When the bags are filled, they are not sealed off by using the zipper, and instead the top of the bag is sealed instead. This leads to the product moving around in the bag during shipping and handling, which ultimately leads to it getting in the zipper tracks. The simple solution is once you open up the bag for the first time, take a toothpick and use the tip to clean out the inside of the tracks, as well as the outside of the single track. Once you do this, you will find that it is much easier to get the zipper to work, and that it provides a great seal. ----------------------- Product Review ----------------------- Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this product. The quality seems on par or higher than other brands that I have tried, and you simply cannot beat the price, or the fact that there are zero fillers. I am currently using this as a part of my After Workout stack: ■ Whole Milk - 8 oz ■ Coconut Oil - 1 TBSP (add after mixing and mix again) ★ Whey Protein - 1 Scoop ★ Choline L-Bitartrate - 1200 mg ★ Pantothenic Acid (B-5) - 550 mg ★ Fenugreek - 1000 mg

Amazing. I’ve tried it all and this really works! Whenever a nasty pimple pops up I just take the solution of water and this supplement I have in my fridge, dip a Q-tip in it, swab it over the affected area, and voila! Within two to three days the pus it completely gone and the pimple but not my skin is dried up. I use this with a combination of oral B5 vitamins I take after every meal. Chocolate used to be lethal to my complexion but now I don’t have to worry about it and the only time I get a pimple is near the beginning of my period. So crazy, I still can’t believe it was this easy. Proactive didn’t do it for me and neither did the other ones like Clean & Clear and all that. Now I just use a gentle Aveno soap and apricot scrub to wash my face and this B5 supplement. I love you B5 <3

I like it. This b5 along with other supplements to support adrenal fatigue are really helping me out. I had been trying to treat my fatigue with mostly herbs....and it just was not working, until I added b vitamins and some amino acids (l-carnitine and l-tyrosine). My supplement closet is steadily growing thanks to Bulk Supplements and their free-product-offer-in-exchange-for-review deal. The products have all been great. And here is a little tip for dealing with the ziplock problem on the bags: put the products in mason jars! Glass is better to store supplements in and the lids are air-tight. Remember to copy all the info from the bag onto a label before you toss it out. You'll need the expiration date and the serving info. This blends really well with water. I add it to my glass of buffered ascorbic acid and l-carnitine in the morning. The vit.C really helps cut the bitterness. Taste never really bothers me if it is a supplement I need, I'm going to take it no matter the taste.

First of all, I purchased this supplement product through amazon. I rated this product 5 stars for a couple of reasons: 1) Money is tight and with this product, I can get the daily requirements for vitamin b5 (which some multivitaminic products leave out) at a very reasonable price. One 3.5Oz bag of Bulk Supplement Vitamin B5 should last you more than a year (!!!) if you take RDA... I chose to take more but no need to. 2) Buying in bulk, allows me to take more of the product during stressful times and decrease the quantity taken during calm weeks. 3) The quality of the product is really good and so far, I have taken it with protein shakes, coffee, juices and even just pouring some on yogurt snacks. 4) Customer service from BulkSupplements is outstanding. Whenever I contacted them through email they responded in a matter of minutes! 5) Shipping was fast (2 days) but I utilized amazon prime so no problem here. All in all, I highly recommend Bulk Vitamin B5 from BulkSupplements. I am also taking other products from them namely: DL-phenylalanine and L-theanine and so far, enjoying it as well.
