I'm so glad I have discovered bulk supplements. I use to spend so much money on over the counter products, Now I just DIY my skincare and haircare products which by the way is way more effective. I am reviewing Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) I mix this with distilled water in a spray bottle I spray it on my hair daily my hair has stopped shedding it's a lot healthier. I also mix it with my hyaluronic acid also from bulk and it is just like the very expensive over the counter HA that I have purchased. I put half on one side of face and the diy on the other side and I can't tell the difference to the way my skin feels. I just love bulk supplements it's a non-negotiable and I will be trying out different products from Bulk supplements.

I have been suffering from Cystic Acne for over 10 years. I took my 1st round of Accutane in my teens, and my 2nd round in my early 20s - the 2nd of which resulted in severe depression and months of treatment. The experience was one I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I started taking 1 tsp of B5 mixed in approx. 4 oz of water in November 2014, and have worked my way up to 2 tbs per day (1 tbs every 12hrs). The results have been amazing! I'll feel cysts starting to appear on my skin, and they are gone when I wake up in the morning. I have very oily skin, and I am never oily anymore. I can actually use lotion on my face now without becoming shiny during the day. If you are suffering from cystic acne, I would definitely recommend trying this product! I wish I had known about this years ago.

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.<br /><br />-----------------------<br />Product Review<br />-----------------------<br /><br />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:<br /><br />■ Whole Milk - 8 oz<br />■ Coconut Oil - 1 TBSP (add after mixing and mix again)<br />★ Whey Protein - 1 Scoop<br />★ Choline L-Bitartrate - 1200 mg<br />★ Pantothenic Acid (B-5) - 550 mg<br />★ Fenugreek - 1000 mg

I made a spray with distilled water and this B5 powder for my hair and skin. This made my baby-fine, rather thin hair feel fuller and thicker. At first it was a little too sticky so I added a bit more distilled water. I keep it refrigerated, although I don't know if that's necessary. Using it on my skin, I've found that spraying it on just BEFORE I moisturize (with HA) does not make my skin sticky at all. It makes it look firm and sort of rubbery like younger skin. After just using this for about five days, my skin feels tighter and looks smoother even before I spray it on, so it seems to me that I'm getting actual improvement in the health of my skin rather than just temporary improvement in the appearance when it's fresh on my face.<br /><br />I recommend it and will keep using it as long as the improvement continues. I may cut it back to 2-3 times a week for maintenance if it reaches a point where the tightening and smoothing seem to level off. I'm really liking the results.<br /><br />I've made this twice now so it stays fresh and potent: 1/8 tsp. powder to 3/8 cup distilled water, shake well, then into the fridge. I shake it before using. I use it morning and night after cleansing, moisturize immediately with Home Health HA moisturizer I buy from Amazon. Be sure to close your eyes when you spray!

Had been taking B5 to counter act painful (cystic) acne caused by my hormone replacement therapy but ran out without thinking of buying more since my acne cleared. A couple of weeks went by and my acne started back up with a vengeance-but no longer. Three days on bulk supplements B5 and the pain went away. After a week I have not had any new cysts form and the three on my back are barley visible and receding more each day. Cystic acne sufferers do not waste time, money, and self-confidence with topical treatments- they cannot get down deep enough to really help.<br /><br />Difficult to cap (gets sticky) but well worth the effort!

OK, found out Vit B5 deficiency can cause restless-type sleep problems. Been using this for a week and my sleep is absolutely better now!!
