    Got acne? Vit B5 works wonders!

    Hey brothers...I know alot of ya get acne from the juice. And Ive been trying something that a few of ya might have heard about. Its called Vitamin b5 or usually called Pantothenic Acid. Its natural..water saluble and really works. Some say better than Accutane. You take 10g a day for a month to two months..then you lower it to between 2 to 5 grams a day. Listen to your body. If your taking the starting 10g a day. Break it up into 4 doeses a day. B5 lowers your oil production and also makes your pores smaller and skin tighter and smoother looking. Here is just one link that you can learn more from. Or just go to a search engine and type in Pantothnic acid for acne..and youll get alot of results. Or check this one out. http://gmuntz.tripod.com/b5.html

    Good luck everyone!

    Go to the link above on the sponsor ALL SPORTS NUTRITION http://www.allsportsnutrition.com and look up pantothenic acid. They have the Twin Labs brand which I here is a really good brand. Better than GNC's brand. And plus youll help keep AR running from using the sponser and its cheap priced.

    it did wonders for me, ive takin accutane and b5 and b5 works much faster plus you don't get all red faced like you do from accutane or health risks. i know the article said 10 g a day but i only take one gram a day and it is fine, but i don't have bad acne, just a few bumps her and there. i would say 3 to 5 g a day for bad acne i get mine from gnc. 12.95 for 500 mg of 60.
