B5 in powder form is much easier. Also cheaper. eBay sir. That's where I picked up mine.

ok sweet thanks
I'm not on AAS, but I use tazorac, it will REALLY dry you out if you have sensitive skin though.
That stuff gave me a rash and I couldn't stop itching.Quote:

going to try this my upper back and shoulders are always broken out and sometimes especially in the summer when it's hot they get so bad it hurts to bench. Thanks will check in with update fingers crossed.
I'll be damned (pretty sure that's handled already!) Austinite. B-5 and zinc cleared up my upper arm acne within a week. I split the difference in your light and heavy dosage lists by taking about 8g per day pantothenic acid and 35mg zinc. I was also rubbing with a topical brew made with 91% IPA and Witch Hazel. Dried me right up! I'm getting older and more stubborn. I've never been a big believer in natural remedies but you're changing that.
Thanks!
restarted today with a gram of b5 this morning and zinc
Hey....I went back to check this protocol out again cuz I was gonna implement it today but the original post is gone...what gives...

Can someone share a link with me trying to find the best at te most affordable price. Or should I just go to Wally World and get any zinc tabs and b5?
Yeah, you can get them locally, no problem. Some folks are preferring B5 in powder form because they don't want to take too many pills, although if you split the doses, its really not bad.Quote:

Wal mart and Walgreen doesn't carry B5 zinc is cheap as all get out. May have to order B5 online.

This may have already been covered but how many mgs of B5 equals to 7gr?? Until the now comes in Im taking the super B which has 50mgs of B5 in it along with all the other B's. how many pills should I take to equal the amount you suggest? I would say my back is severe but it's def. broken out.
1 gram is 1000 milligrams. 7grams = 7000 mgs.Quote:

I appreciate it! Will let you know some results in a few weeks
I have acne on my butt cheeks.... NO WHERE ELSE. My as$ has broken out bad and usually always does on cycle.... When I get paid I will go buy those supps, will they work on my ass? Acne is Acne right? No matter where on your body? haha
Yes, these compounds don't target any specific areas. They work everywhere.Quote:

After acne clears you can cut doses. Pycnogenol would be good to stay on indefinitely. It should help with other skin problems. Not pigmentation.Quote:

As a teen and even to this day my glutes usually have horrendous acne. However tanning for 10 mins twice a week took 90% of it away
Constant tanning is unhealthy. You'll end up like an old catcher's mitt.Quote:

B5, only if you're prone.Quote:

Thanks for the update Chi! Keep it up buddy. Lower doses still work, they just take longer. Which is fine so long as you feel good.
Hmm, thanks for the info.
I've had some stomach issues (bloating) after starting a PH cycle (working my way up to AS). I blamed it on the milk thistle, but based on what you're saying I'm wondering if it could be all the B5 I was taking.
I will do a little testing to try to figure it out.
Jut do an elimination process. As mentioned in the first post, if its the B5 lower your dose.
Nice. That is CAF!Quote:
