    As einstein said, you'll be ok.

    As for those who use tetracycline for their acne... I read that prolong use can stain your teeth yellow.

    Tetracycline cant have half of the side effects that Accutane does. After taking accutane for a prolonged period yellow teeth sounds like a bright spot to me. Accutane is the satan of sides, but incredible for acne.

    Another downfall to tetracycline is that after prolong use, you can become immune to it. Then when you get sick, and you actually need it..... you're screwed.


    Just a few more reasons why B5 sounds so good.

    Is there a big diff. between "timed released" tabs and regular tabs?

    Well, if it is infact time released then yes... But being that vitamin B5 is water based, I'm not sure how it could be. When I say its water based, what I mean is that any extra your system doesnt use, just comes right out during urination.

    I'm not real positive?

    I've had a good experience with them... I hope you do as well. It took about 3 days to get to my door, pretty quick delivery. Let me know how things work out for you.

    If you dont have that much then no... you might only need to take 1 or 2 caps a day.... I would start with around 5 so you can clear everything up.

    how about extremely bad acne? from my tren/prop cycle, i got terrible CYSTIC acne. it was like puss filled marbles under my skin. its been like 6 months since my cycle and the acne has faded, but i have TONS of TERRIBLE deep, dark purple scars and pock marks all over my chest and back. my summer is ruined. i might have to have laser treatment to get rid of them.

    thanks for the info.

    Wow, sorry to hear that bro. Get some vitamin E caps, poke a small hole in it with a pin and squeez the E on the scars. This should help.

    Good Luck bro

    God don't tell me that. I'm starting a cycle with TREN and PROP. I can't get rid of my acne from my last cycle and it's been 3 months!!!! I don't think I will ever do DBOL or DECA again. My shoulders are so bad, I'm afraid to take my shirt off.

    LOL

    that's one reason i won't even take test! androgens **** me over badly! nothing but var and primo for me...

    PS - B5 may work for some but, IMO it does not work for many. mild benzoyl peroxide (2-6%) treatment along with some topical retin-a would be a more effective (albeit more expensive) solution. or, if it's extremely bad, accutane might be necessary. lots of information about how to get rid of acne can be found on a message board not unlike this one at www.acne.org. it's where tons of pimply faced geeks hang out on the internet and argue over what clears up their facial spider bites the best. who could ask for more? but all kidding aside, my face and neck looked like a disaster area last november (due to acne), but now my face is clearer than 90% of everyone else and i have no scarring whatsover, mostly thanks to that website and forum.

    If you have reallly bad acne, you might want to try this http://www.acnepill.com/ . I have not tried it, so I cant give my opinion on it, but I would be willing to try it if I needed to.


    As for scars. I hear that diluted vinager helps stimulate new skin growth.

    Its worth a try if you have scars.

    D-Calcium -Panthothenate is fine. As long as the Pantothenic Acid level is high. Above 90%. There is some 45% floating around out there and if the product doesn't state the %, then you're probably looking at a weaker version.


    As far as time release, It's really for the most part hogwash for lack of a better term. Now if your taking B5 as a simple supplementary source of B5. Then it probably serves the purpose since you can take one in the morning and it lasts throughout the day. However in the case of using B5 for Acne since you are using higher doses you want to split that up anyway throughough the day. So in this case since your keeping your blood levels stable by frequent use there is no need for time released. Your not going to want to take 10grams of B5 all at once anyway. You'd want to at least split it up 3x's a day. Time released obviously wouldn't hurt.

    ******** is where i got mine from. When I first start using it, I break out pretty bad. But then it starts to go away. It definatly does work, for me atleast, to an extent. But man its kinda hard for me to remember to take it all the time. I usually split my doses up. Half morning, and half at night. I ran out recently, and ive been breaking out bad on my chest and back. Not sure if my test is kicking in or what though. Hope that helps.
