Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)
Also known as: Pantothenic acid
Helps you handle stress better and supports your body's stress response. Essential for energy production and managing that time of the month.
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 it in PMS Relief Gummies because it sits within the body's stress-response pathway, alongside maca and evening primrose oil, as part of a broader cycle-support formula.
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.

Good to know
- • Considered low-risk at typical supplement doses.
- • If PMS symptoms are severe or disrupting daily life, it's worth discussing with your GP rather than relying on supplements alone.
As always, if you're unsure whether this ingredient is right for you, chat to your GP or pharmacist before adding it to your routine.
