    Vitamin B5 for acne

    Hi guys. I have read in many places that b5 can help get rid of acne. Since i have tried many diffrent products had the same disappointing result. I tought what the hell i'll give it a try. From what i have read everyone says to take 10 grams of B5 a day for upto 3 months. some side effects could be:

    Stomach irritation
    -Mild or severe diarrhea
    -Frequent bathroom visits

    I started this last week but only taking 5 grams a day for the whole week. The first day i felt a little wierd and man my stomach made some crazy noises but no diarrhea or bad side effects so far.

    This week i started taking the full 10 grams a day. so far no bad side effects just so crazy noises from down low for the first couple of days. I have noticed by chest is breaking out more which i read it would do before my skin will start to clear up.

    I will keep you posted on how this system works out.

    I never tried B5, but some swear by it.

    Your acne may get worse before getting better. Your bodies seems to push out all the shit before it clears up. Thats what happend when I ran Accutane and I got warned about it.

    Good luck.

    When I have taken pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) I generally only start the first week @ 10 - 15mg ED.... after that I drop to a maintenance dosage of 3mg ED.

    You're right.. it doesn't work THAT well.. That's why I use Accutane. lol.

    I'm going to stick with the B5 it seams to be work. But if it dosn't work in the long run then i'll try Accutane.
