Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)
Also known as: Pantothenic acid
An everyday B vitamin that contributes to normal energy production and normal mental performance. Cycle Calm contains 18mg per serve as a supporting nutrient.
What it is
Pantothenic acid (B5) is involved in making coenzyme A, a molecule your cells need to release energy from food and to support adrenal hormone production.
Why we use it
We include 18mg in Cycle Calm PMS Gummies as a supporting nutrient for normal energy production and mental performance, alongside the formula's lead nutrient, 5mg Vitamin B6.
What the research generally suggests
B5's role in energy and hormone metabolism is well documented nutritionally, though direct evidence for PMS-specific relief from B5 alone is limited — it's included as supportive nutrition rather than a standalone fix.
Typical amounts
Common supplement amounts sit around 5-20mg per day.
In Flexies products: 18mg per serving.
