    Vit B5

    I went and bought myself some Vit B5 for my acne
    They came in 1000mg form and i know i need to take 5-10g's
    Should i take that amount all at once of should i split them up through out my day?

    Also i told the store worker what i needed them for and he suggested that i take it with a complex vitamin soo i bought some vitamin B complex
    He told me to take one a day(each cap is 500mg)
    should i take this? if soo should i be taking more than one cap?
    thanx

    Pantothenic Acid as a Weight-Reducing Agent:
    Fasting Without Hunger, Weakness and Ketosis
    L. H. LEUNG
    Department of General Surgery, Hong Kong Central Hospital, 1 Lower Albert Road, Hong Kong
    Abstract
    - - With the conventional method of fasting or aggressive dieting to reduce excess
    body fat, hunger, weakness, ketogenesis and ketosis are the sequential events that follow. It is
    not fully understood why, under conditions of negative calorie balance where complete energy
    release from storage fat is critical, ketosis should arise with a concomitant wastage of energy.
    Here, I wish to propose a theory that relates the formation of ketone bodies under such
    conditions to a deficiency in dietary pantothenic acid. Supplementation of this vitamin would
    facilitate complete catabolism of fatty acids and thus the formation of ketone bodies could be
    circumvented. As a result, a sufficient amount of energy would be released from storage fat
    to relieve dieters of the sensation of hunger and weakness which otherwise would be difficult
    to endure. Hence, using this method for weight reduction together with a careful observation
    of calorie intake, I have great success in treating overweight-to-obese patients to lose weight.
