Help with B5 for Acne

**hardgainer1** · 08-29-2006, 11:56 AM

Just bought a bunch of b5 caps. I read that 5grams a day is enough to work. Should I take all 10 pills at once or 5 here and 5 there?

5g-10g/ED is what most seem to do. Not done it yet but will try soon.

I would spread them out during the day since they are water soluble vitamins. You would probably utilize more that way.

hardgainer,
Not to rain on your parade, but I think you are going to be sadly dissappointed with the results. If your going to take any vitamins (specifically for your skin), your better off taking Vitamin D (1,000i.u's daily), zinc (50mg daily), and Vitamin A. Here's a great article on Vit A:
