    upset stomach from Vit B5 (pantothenic acid)

    ive been taking vit b5 (pantothenic acid) for acne. i took 10g for the first 5 days and then down to 5g. i split up the doses so when i was taking the 10g i would take 5g in the morning and 5g in the evenings. but this really upset my stomach. does this happen to anyone else? what can i do to prevent it?

    10 Grams is normal for helping with acne. Take it with a meal, it will help.

    Im currently taking b5. I am currently on cycle as well. I take around 6g ed, split up twice a day. I know when I mixed it just with water, it kinda gave me upset stomach. But mixing it with grape/cranberry juice helps mask the flavor. Its helping. The only thing is that when I first start taking it, I break out pretty bad, and then it gets better.
