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

    I'm not on AAS, but I use tazorac, it will REALLY dry you out if you have sensitive skin though.

    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!

    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.

    Good call!! Thank you for that! I shall piss the wife off even more by spending my hard earned cash on more supps!!!
    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.

    I don't think you want to take mega doses of complex B. Just take a few a day until you can get the supplement.

    Yes, these compounds don't target any specific areas. They work everywhere.

    austinite do you recommend taking this daily to prevent acne or is it taken temporarily when an outbreak occurs? Also would this be good for other skin problems as well, I have trouble with eczema and acne.

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

    Thank you for the quick reply! I'll definitely give this a try. I tend to get outbreaks in the summer on my back and shoulders and currently use benzoyl peroxide which works well but bleaches my shirts, I also have a hard time reaching areas of my back.

    Constant tanning is unhealthy. You'll end up like an old catcher's mitt.

    Absolutely. It's not targeted. It will reach and clean all your skin.

    Good read thank you . I'm curious what causes hair loss from these supplements ? I've read that zinc may stop hair loss.

    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.

    I've had trouble finding B5 in stores too. I get it online now. Rite Aid has it sometimes, but only the one's that were GNC stores prior.
