    Pantothenic acid

    pantothenic acid, or vitamin b5. I would just like to say that i have read many conflicting statements on whether or not this helps with acne. I made this post to say IT DOES.

    I have used antibiotics from the dermatologist, at all doses and kinds. None of these worked for my backne. I have tried topicals- both perscription and over the counter. I am almost 30 years old and i can most difinately say that my acne is from aas. I has no more than 2 spots on the back/ chest even as a teen, and had mild/ moderate acne on the face as a teen, so when i first started cycleing in my late 20s and i got acne i was obviously embarassed.

    It took 4 weeks to see results, but i used 1 gram 3-4 times a day and it has cleared it up significantly.

    Tanning also works, but i dont want to tan too much as i know it not to be good for the skin.


    Just thought this might help a few guys out as b5 is like $12 a month over the counter

    I've been looking at the B5 vitamins, and they're in doses that would require half a bottle to equal the amount recommended for acne control. That would be very expensive actually to take it that way. Do you know of anybody that sells B5 vitamins in magadoses?

    I by mine from the vitamin shoppe. It comes in 500 mgs per capsule, I take 10 per day which equates to 5,000 mgs. The bottle is around $15.

    also, what you might try doing is starting it a month out from the cycle, as i didnt see immediate results.

    I think I'll be alright starting them right at the beginning of the cycle since I don't start breaking out until after the 1st 4 or 6 weeks of a 12 wk cycle.

    I'll google gnv too. Thanks!
