Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B-5) is a member of the B-complex family of vitamins and is found in nearly every living cell as a component of Coenzyme A (CoA). CoA is essential for the generation of energy from fat, carbohydrate, and protein. It also plays a critical role in many biosynthetic reactions as well, being necessary for the production of fats, cholesterol, neurotransmitters, red blood cells, and adrenal secretions. As such, Pantothenic Acid is vital for countless cell functions and the maintenance of healthy cellular metabolism.
Suggested Use
Take 1 capsule daily with a meal.

Let me begin by saying that I am a retired professor of microbiology and immunology. Someone in a health food store once recommended pantothenic acid (PA) for sinus and other upper respiratory problems. That was ten years ago. I routinely take 3-4 500 mg capsules when I feel an oncoming respiratory problem. For the most part, I have been free of congestion, wheezing, coughing and allergic problems. If the problem is an actual bacterial or viral infection, it has no effect. Thus it helps me know when I need to see a physician. During this time period, I have used PA for ear problems resulting in dizziness. In this case I take 3-4 capsules every 30 minutes until the dizziness is resolved. Being a B vitamin it is cleared from the body in 15-30 minutes. I take three capsules if I have thick phlegm which causes choking during eating. It only takes five minutes to thin out the phlegm. One last very important finding is that PA is quite helpful for me in promoting healthful sleep. As in most older men, getting up to urinate during the night may involve 3-4 episodes that disturb sleep. I take 3 capsules at bedtime (10-12 pm) and I sleep peacefully to 5-6 am. If I had to take one or two medications with me on a long term absence from civilization, PA would be in my luggage. This vitamin has made aging not so bad!

I read somplace that pantothenic acid helps the body produce hormones from cholesterol. I bought this with the idea it might help with issues I have with inflammation. I must have some sort of deficiency because when I took it my sinuses cleared up. For most of my life I’ve been unable to breathe through my nose without some type of pills. Ok, I know, this is pills. The difference is, this stuff has no weird side effects. I don’t get nervous. I don’t get wired or shaky or jumpy. It doesn’t put me to sleep.
In spite of being old and overweight my cholesterol has always tested fine so I upped my egg intake. Just to be safe I switched to the expensive pastured eggs. Now I’ve tried them I’ll never go back. Anyway, now that I’m eating more eggs I usually breath easy with or without this stuff, but I’m better with it so I will continue to use it.

This past summer, my 15 year old daughter had terrible acne. We had been to the dermatologist numerous times with different creams and antibiotics prescribed throughout the year. She was miserable, did not want to leave the house. I read a particular review from a mom whose daughter seemed to be experiencing the same issue. I purchased a bottle about 4 weeks ago and just repurchased our second bottle. After a couple weeks, I started noticing a difference in my daughters skin. The texture seemed better, less bumps/cysts. She no longer has chest or back acne. I think she noticed a difference as well as she kept on asking me to refill her pill box. Now 4 weeks in, the texture of her skin still is improving, not as red. My husband just today said what an improvement he has noted. My daughter has been so self conscious and she is now taking instagram pictures again. Hopefully this will continue to help her.
Here is what she does on a daily basis. This might not work for everyone but I found this works. I purchased a large daily pill box. I put in 8 capsules of a pantothenic acid, 1 capsule organic cod liver oil, and 50 mg zinc. My daughter says the zinc upsets her stomach sometimes. I told her to try taking halves. She takes half of the capsules in the morning and other half at dinner. She is still using Tarozatene cream but I really think this regimen is what is helping her. I will follow back in another month with an update.
Seeing your child have to deal with bad acne is just heartbreaking. It’s like you will buy anything to help them. I watched many YouTube videos to see what others do. Please contact me for further information. I will be happy to pass on any information.

When I tell you this stuff works for acne it really does. I’ve had horrible cystic acne for the past year since stopping birth control and this has been the ONLY thing that has worked for me. I noticed a difference after taking 3 capsules the night I got them. I woke up the next morning with my skin feeling like it was beginning to heal itself. After taking it for a week, 4 pills a day, 2 in the morning 2 at night, I have hardly no fresh pimples maybe 1-2 a week at most. As before I was getting 5-7 new ones every single week. This stuff is incredible, it’s a Gods send and if you have troubles skin or bad acne I HIGHLY recommend trying it to see if it will help you the way it helped me. After seeing all the positive reviews I had to give it a try. I had tried literally everything, even saw multiple dermatologists and even tried natural remedies. So far this has been the only natural thing that has helped me.

As always, you can’t expect miracle solutions and everyone’s different. I’ve been battling with acne since i was a preteen. This ACTUALLY prevented breakouts. I changed nothing else in my skincare routine. I have tried countless different routines, etc and got this as a last attempt. When I take this consistently, I can be confident I won’t break out. It works. Of course, you also have to take care of your skin.
Priscilla Zhou –
Saw some videos on YouTube about this product and I decided to give it a try, all I have to say is this has worked like a miracle for my acne. I have been on a round of Accutane, multiple antibiotics, topicals, you name it- I’ve probably tried it. At first I was hesitant after learning you have take a large dose every day in order for it to work, but after doing a lot of research this is definitely the safest option in terms of oral “medications” for acne. If you are hesitant, I would definitely just give it a try, I’ve only been using it for a week and have noticed a dramatic decrease in oil production and new pimples/cystic acne. Definitely will repurchase!
Andrea –
Just what I needed! This vitamin B complex is perfect for me when I get allergies during pregnancy. It passed as safe by my doctor to take. I’d rather take more vitamins then take some chemical based anti allergy medicine that could be hurting my baby!
TobycW –
I used this with Zinc to control my adult acne. It does indeed work.
R.A. –
Ever since I was a teenager my acne was absolutely TERRIBLE and Accutane was the ONLY thing that worked for my acne until I started taking this. I went on two rounds and each gave me about 5 years of clear skin. When my acne started coming back I knew what direction it would go in and wanted to get ahead of it. Believe me when I say my acne does not respond to anything except accutane. I tried every topical and oral medication out there and accutane was the only thing that worked until this!! The two pictures are only two days apart and up until the first one it was weeks of trying to get the acne to subside only for it to get worse. I’ve been taking it (6 a day) for about 3 months and my skin has literally never looked so good and there have been zero side effects (Unlike the horrid accutane ones)!!! I get acne on my back, chest, face and neck and everything is extremely clear. The only thing I changed was taking this!

I wish I had taken a before and after photo. About 3 months post liver donation surgery, my skin went absolutely haywire. As a 31 yr old WOMAN with teenage acne, I was ready to lose my sanity. I tried medicated creams, face washes, and anything else I could think of. Heard about pantothenic acid in a tik tock, recommended by a beautician, and looked these up on here. The reviews are what convinced me to buy them. I’ve been taking 4 capsules every morning since 6/4/2020 and WHAT. A. DIFFERENCE. Along with religiously using rose water witch-hazel toner (Target), I cannot believe the difference. Like…I want to cry. If you’ve struggled with acne, please give this a go. You might have to tweak how many you take, but 4 ended up being my sweet spot. Good luck!
Christa –
Wow, this has been an answered prayer. Literally within a week I saw a huge difference. I have to take 15 pills a day, but it’s worth it! I was struggling with adult acne for almost 2 years, and it started when I went on a generic brand of Ocella! My skin is still recovering from the battle scars, but that’ll be taken care! I don’t have any side effects at all, but I will say if you’re on other supplements make sure to take everything separately. I noticed if I didn’t space out my other supplements, my acne would start up again! Not terribly, but 1-2 will appear out of nowhere. I also recommend drinking lots of water while taking these pills, and you should be good to go!

I SWEAR BY THIS!! I had clear skin up until I turned 22 and adult acne came out of nowhere. I am now 31 and still struggled with acne. Tried everything you can name of and had several facial treatments and facial acupuncture each month, nothing worked until my friend told me about pantothenic acid. The first month, I took 2 in the morning and 2 at night, and I noticed my acne drying out and got smaller almost immediately. It has now been 8 months and I have not missed a day. I still take the same dosage each day, I get ONE small pimple here and there but my problem areas are CLEAR! Can’t believe it took me a decade to find something that worked.
This may not work on everyone because my brother who is 23 (had acne since he was a teenager) also took the same dosage for a couple months but saw no results. However, I HIGHLY recommend giving this a try if you struggle with acne.
Caitlin Marr –
This product is a miracle worker! Here is a before and after taking this product for just a month! I’m going to continue to take them to have clear skin. Also I was tanning so my face is darker in the after photo.
Andrea urquiza –
I bought these because I saw them on a video about getting rid of acne and they totally work! If you have cystic/hormonal acne and it’s bad you should start taking at least 5 a day that’s what I have seen people do, some even do 20 a day and I know it sounds like a lot but that’s just at the beginning and they work and it makes your skin so much better and after a while, you can start taking less. I would definitely recommend these for anyone who has acne because I tried everything and nothing worked but these did.
cindy Nordmeyer –
Love these SO much I’ve only been taking these for about a week and a half and already my skin is WAY clearer than it was before!! I’m a 21 year old female and I was starting to lose all hope in clearing my skin but these pills have seriously worked!! 10/10 recommend for anyone who has any kind of acne! It has also helped with my oily face too! I started by taking 3 every morning and night and now I started taking 4 every morning and night. I started taking more because of other reviews I read.

If you have cystic acne/hormonal acne/demons from the 6th circle of hell stuck under your skin in the jawline area and or for head PLEASE BUY THIS. I have struggled with acne since I was 21 and this February (I am 26) I broke out like never ever before. I tried Salicylic acid, Benzoyl peroxide, Sulfur, snake venom, niacinamide, vitamin C, jojoba oil, turmeric, apple cider vinegar throughout my early 20s (Note: not all at the same time I gave each a 3 week trial). NOTHING WORKED.
BUY THIS AND GIVE IT A TRY!!! It is now May and my skin is finally compelled by the power of b5 twice a day.
two in the AM and two PM.
My self esteem has gotten much better and I think my hair is growing faster as well although I don’t know if I can credit this to the pills.
Also, I found this website COSdna where you can freely search up beauty products and their acne causing ingredients. Hope this is helpful to all those people out there suffering from acne.
Much love.

I watched a YouTube video where a mom shares that her son had horrible acne. They tried everything – just like I did. I’ve been on Accutane 2x, antibiotics, cut out milk, every kind of topical drugstore acne creme and soap…nothing really helped. I’ve been on PA for about a year and my skin is a lot better. New breakouts are rare – now I just have to deal with the hyperpigmentation of older scars – my skin is looking pretty good. I was desperate and so I tried it, thinking it wouldn’t really work but it has helped, a lot. I hope it helps you, too.

So far I only put 4 stars because I’ve only been using for 2 weeks and a half. Anyways, I can tell a HUGE difference in my acne! I’ve been chronically ill for 6 months. I had C. diff and my b vitamin levels were so messed up. I was losing hair like crazy and breaking out. I am so happy I started taking these. I feel like a normal person again and I can not explain how amazing it is. I recommend taking biotin with pantothenic acid so that you don’t become deficient in one or the other. If you’ve suffered from acne for years, please give this a try. I’ve tried so many things throughout the years. With becoming ill I’ve been focusing on my health a lot. I cut out sugar completely and realized it wasn’t just my diet causing acne. Definitely worth the price. I hope this review helps somebody out there!
Amazon Customer –
I’ve seen many positive reviews, but those reviews mostly come from ppl with cystic acne. My concerns are related to fungal acne, and possibly other similar skin conditions. I’m not sure if it works for fungal acne. However, I only tried this for a month. I should keep going, but I just want to try something else, and then I will come back and try again for 12 weeks. If you’re going to try this, do it for 12 weeks. Mega-dosing expedites the results, but it might not be necessary, so start small in the first month and increase dosage as you go. Try purchasing 2 bottles. Depending on your dosage, you will have to refill every 2 to 3 weeks.

I only started these recently. Firstly before going further for those who don’t read the full review, IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE STOMACH DUE TO ACID REFLUX OR ACIDITY PROBLEMS please be mindful when starting these. I was looking at side effects and there’s many different things to look out for and some drug interactions. So please consult your doctor if you take different medications.
There’s some people who recommend to take 5 at a time 3X a day. You can try that but it’s ultimately your decision. I am going to take smaller amounts so I don’t upset my stomach. I love Now brand and trust they’re going to do what I purchased them for. I used to use curology and it stopped working for me after a few years so I been on the hunt for items that works for sensitive acne prone combination skin.. if I notice results I’ll update in a few weeks. I got rosehip oil and my husband made a natural mask for my skin. It has garam flour, whole milk plain yoghurt and a tsp honey. So using natural products for acne is best to find what works that’s suitable for your skin type.. everyone is different. I also made my own rose water. You can make your own or buy it online here.

HOLY GRAIL FOR CYSTIC ACNE! Absolutely worth trying. Only been using over a month and my skin has cleared 99%. It’s been 7-8 years since I’ve seen my skin again. I’m forever thankful for this vitamin.
LColumbus –
I found out about this in youtube. I took 8 pills in the morning 8 in the evening. After 3 weeks i saw improvement, but my acne was still there so i continued, whenever intried taking less pills the acne came back. I stuck with the 16 pills for 6 weeks and my acne is 90% gone. Im afraid to stop so I just ordered more. Im gonna try to wean it down to 5 in the morning 5 at night and see what happens. I am also taking minocycline 2x a day which i hope to wean to once a day. Also the skin all over my body is soooooo soft and its glowing! This stuff really works if you stick with it!

I never leave reviews, but if you are looking for something that is going to help your hormonal or cystic acne, look no further. I take these in conjunction with l-lysisine but that’s only because my immune system is a little weak during the winter, BUT these two together have drastically changed my skin. Some people say they see results in a week or two but it definitely took me around 3-4 weeks to see results because my acne was extremely bad. I now only get 1 or 2 pimples around my cycle time (which is normal) and they clear up right away. I was extremely depressed before I started using this stuff. I now only have the dark marks to deal with but those are clearing up as well. Good luck on your skin journey. These are definitely worth it.
Afton StAmour –
I love these vitamins, they work great with no side effects and I honestly don’t mind the price. My only problem is that in my first bottle, I probably had at least 8 half-empty capsules. I didn’t think much of it, figured it was just a bad batch. Well as soon as I opened the second bottle, 2 half-empty capsules and one completely empty and broken. There’s powder residue all over inside so I can imagine there are more broken, empty capsules. Poor quality control

I love this supplement! For me it’s a miracle! I’ve had severe rosacea acne flareups for the last three+years, & after taking these twice a day, 2 at a time in just about 3-days I saw a noticeable improvement! It’s now 1/21 & I have cleared up…with light makeup you wouldn’t know I ever had a problem! I only use moisturizer, primer, & loose translucent powder & I’m good to go with no worries! I highly recommend this, & I’m going to continue to take this daily combined with a new supplement similar to Beverly Hills MD supplement so that my skin is not only clear, but younger looking with healthier hair & nails! To think I found out about this supplement by randomly watching & finding a testimonial on YouTube! I will be buying more in the future, & I highly recommend this as well as the seller!
JaziJoi –
I take two pills ? morning and evening to clear up my hormonal adult acne and this works wonders along with a clean diet. I definitely recommend this product.
Shay Tillman –
These vitamins actually cleared up my hormonal acne in less than a month…. Skip going to the dermatologist these vitamins work miracles
R. B –
Firstly the capsules are rather long not so much wide so taking them can be challenging. I found myself giving myself a small pep talk through my first bottle; “you want clear skin right?” “Beauty is pain” I’ve found that they are easier to take as you’re eating a meal. No taste which is awesome. My skin began clearing within the 3 days and by week TWO, my skin was immaculate!!! My fine heat rash looking bumps completely flattened and then disappeared, the texture of my skin has changed and I love it! My pores appear smaller as well. I’m on my second bottle now. I take 5 with each meal 10-15 daily depending on how often I eat. I have noticed that the vitamins have made me very regular, but I’m not complaining! My skin glows now and this is the only thing that has worked for me. Idk what type of acne I have but I’ve struggled with breakout since I was 11. I’m now 30 and it’s embarrassing to have adult acne and I thank you to whoever discovered this method for acne.
Becky Watts –
This has helped me with my asthma to help prevent getting colds that turn to bronchitis. I do get colds but they are not as bad and it never develops into bronchitis anymore since taking these. It also helped my skin. I don’t have any acne and my dermatitis is gone unless I stop taking this for about a month then it comes back. I will always take this to help keep me healthy.
Amazon Customer –
I bought pantothenic acid to help with my acne. The first day I started taking it, I noticed my throat was incredibly sore. I didn’t think anything of it and thought maybe I was just getting sick because of the season change. Nope! I’ve been taking these for the past 2 weeks and every single time i take them (5 in the morning, 5 at night) about an hour later, my throat hurts more than usual. I stopped taking them for about 2 days and noticed my throat wasn’t in any pain. As soon as I started taking them again, my throat was sore again. I told myself that the sore throat was worth it if the acne will go away but I haven’t had any luck with it either. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong because everyone else seems to love this product.
Another problem I ran into was how gross the pill tastes. Some days I have such a hard time swallowing the pills because of the plastic/chemical taste they have. I don’t normally have a problem with other vitamins/pills.

My acne has gotten worse and worse as an adult (22 now) and it was getting to the point of being inflamed and hurting. Destroying my confidence. I was determined to go see the dermatologist for accutane but I recently became interested in supplements and thought I’d give one more thing a try. I have been taking for about a month in a half now and may skin gets better and better every week. I will say it was steady progress, got worse, and then suddenly gotten way better. This stuff is a life saver. I take 2 in the am and 2 at pm. I am starting to incorporate zinc and omega 3s. I’m excited to be on my way to clear skin.
Amazon Customer –
Alright – I’m not one to write reviews usually but I feel like between this product and Keihls Calendula wash my skin has transformed 100%. I have always had cystic inflamed pimples – not a ton but enough to make me uncomfortable with not wearing makeup. They were also super painful! This magic pill has brought life back into my skin and gives me sooooo much confidence. I recommend it to anyone that asks.
Amazon Customer –
I bought it for the acne issue. I know whether it works or not depends on person. I have taken it for three months so far, not sure if it really worked because I am also using other facial products. Anyway, it was a good deal at the price and quantity.
Amazon Customer –
Seems to work as well as other well known brands . I t is used to nutritionally support inflammation reduction. It is taken along with a 25 mcg. -1,000 iu softgel vitamin d3 supplement, opened and sprinkled under the tongue (sublingual). The vit d3 softgel is chewed first, then the sprinkles. Used as needed, once per hour if necessary for up to three days, but normally twice per day. This is anecdotal only, please do what’s right for you!
First time buyer –
We are avid users of this product, especially during cold and flu season. I am an asthmatic so it definitely gets used anytime my chest is tight. Very good for the lungs. Love that I can give it to my young kids and they can swallow it somewhat easy. 6 year old still has a little trouble.

I don’t normally leave reviews especially for supplements, but it’s been a week since taking this Pantothenic Acid in hopes of clearing my adult acne and I’ve seen a huge improvement! I take 5 in the AM with breakfast and then 5 in PM with dinner and have noticed an overall calming of my acne. I have really sensitive skin so any sort of fragrance will cause breakouts but I’ve also noticed an irritation to using Benzoyl Peroxide based washes & creams. I felt like I was at a loss for what to use topically but recently discovered the Amanda Blakley skinline and I love that it’s fragrance free. After reading reviews and watching some YouTube testimonies on people trying Pantothenic Acid, I figured I might as well try! I’m really impressed with this combo so far and will hopefully be able to lower my dose as my face continues to clear 🙂

Has helped with my oily skin, and have had less breakouts.
