Cool! Hope it works out great.

[btrizzyb]

I will be trying this out. I dont have HORRIBLE acne, just enough to be annoying...

Can all of these be found at a local walmart, or do I have to go somewhere special to find them? 28 pills a day for b5 is pretty intense. LoL

28 pills? Why would you buy super low dosed B5? Get it in higher doses and you wont need 28 pills. Better yet, get the powder and mix it in a drink, done. If your acne is not horrible, you could probably cut that dose in half anyway.

My mistake, for some reason I though I read 7 grams in the morning and 7 at night, but it's only 5 each. Pills are 500mg correct? So that's 20 a day not 28. Do you think I'd be fine trying 3grams morning 3 grams at night to see how that does first since I don't have a horrible breakout. Or would that not be enough for sure?

[austinite]

^ you can get pills that are a gram each. Probably more. Like I said, you can get powder too if you can't swallow some pills. If you get the gram per pill, ,that's 14 pills daily. In 3 doses, it's only 4 to 5 pills per dose.

Try it and see what works best for you. Not everyone needs high doses. I can't give you a definite answer. I know my protocol works, if you want to try less, go for it and see how you react. Every single human being is different. The high doses are to eliminate the chance of poor response to low doses for most everyone.

Follow the protocol or take your chances. That's a decision you have to make, not me.

Can vouch that lower doses works well just takes a bit longer to build up in your system. Like Austin has said ZINC is vital to this so make sure you are taking the 100 mgs a day. I am only taking 4 grams a day and have seen a dramatic improvement in my skin and especially my pore size!!!


Thanks Again Austin Aka Sticky Bunz

Welcome, I'm no lady...

That looks like it's been picked at. Don't pick or allow anyone to pick because it could cause post-hyperpigmentation. The protocol will resolve the acne, but not the pigments. Everyone is different, but you should see good results in a few weeks.

[devil-1986]

I'm APOLOGIZE WHICH I THINKING you're a female .I DO not understand what do you mean Please explain easier

[austinite]

What don't you understand? I'm not sure how to explain easier. Don't pick at your acne. Takes people different times to heal. You will see results in 3 weeks.

[devil-1986]

I have this problem for nearly 3 years.

[austinite]

Try it and see what happens. Cheaper than a derm.

[devil-1986]

Which cycle should I choose depending on the amount of acne that you see In Images ?
I Mean THIS post of you ?WHICH ?


Week 1 (if acne is not severe, skip to week 2):

Vitamin B5: 14 grams (7 gr in the morning, and 7 gr before bed)
Zinc: 100 mg daily (50mg in the morning, and 50mg before bed)
Pycnogenol: 240 mg (120mg in the morning, and 120mg before bed)

Week 2 (start here if your acne is not severe):

Vitamin B5: 10 grams (5 gr in the morning, and 5 gr before bed)
Zinc: 50mg daily (25mg in the morning, and 25mg before bed)
Pycnogenol: 120 mg (60mg in the morning, and 60mg before bed)

[devil-1986]

I Mean Need To Skip week 1 Or Begin with Week 1 ?

[austinite]

I Mean Need To Skip week 1 Or Begin with Week 1 ?

Those are not cycle options buddy. It's one run. You do the first one for a week, then move to the following week by changing your doses.

[devil-1986]

yeh yeh one run I mean. Is there any other supplements that have the same results ؟

[austinite]

yeh yeh one run I mean. Is there any other supplements that have the same results ?

not that I've tested.

[devil-1986]

Thank you very much my dear friend

[austinite]

You're welcome

I finally received my pills today. One thing I have learned, is if you want something quick dont order it from Amazon... I ordered 2 weeks ago and just now finally got the stuff... Anyways I will be trying this out starting today! Wish me luck! My acne is no where near as bad as the guy in the photos above, but its not just in 1 general area like his is, I get it from my lower back up to my shoulders, down my arms and also on my chest sometimes.

[btrizzyb]

Btw Austinite if you arnt a lady, who is the person in your avatar pics? I always assumed it was you since you post a new picture of the same person every day.

[btrizzyb]

I just realized that the Vit B5 (500 mg) we are actually taking 10 in the morning and 10 at night? Just wanted to make sure that I didnt read something wrong, because that seems like quite a few pills. My bottle would only last 12 days that way..

500 is half a gram. So 10 pills at 500 is 5 grams.

You Should get pills dosed higher or get powder.

is the L-cysteine enough to stop the hair loss form the b5? I've already noticed some mpb kicking in

No. But it should help.

[kav45]

if you dont have acne but have spots around mouth area and some around eyebrows ( puberty) will this stack help?

[austinite]

If it's bacteria, it should. But I have no experience with that. Acne only is what I've tested.

[profboy]

No. But it should help.

Man, the hairloss aspect makes me not want to try this..even though my acne is getting worse than usual.

i know it's probably dependent on each person but how bad would you rate the hair loss due to b5? comparable to test?

[austinite]

^ Not even close to AAS.

[Nij]

Lololol I dun' goofed. The past two weeks I've only been taking 1 of each morning and night. Wondering why I've not seen ANY results. After re-reading, it's safe to say I've never face palmed so hard in my life.

[tmfsd]

I know the zinc helps for sure...I had a pretty mean case of acne all over my back (i referred to it as backne) from when I was about 18 thru to 22 yrs old. Wasn't on any gear, guess my body was just going thru some stuff. Tried prescription stuff from my GP, didn't work. Also tried some herbal stuff from a naturopath, didn't work. Then 1 day this nurse i was seeing mentioned a patient of hers used zinc supplement and it cleared his acne up. I started taking zinc and within 2 weeks, it was pretty much cleared up and only got the occasional pimple once or twice a month.

[chiragchawla93]

I would like to thank you a lot for posting this thread man, was watching this thread since more then a month and decided to run this protocol to see if it can help my acne ( back and face) since my acne were going up due to use of some gainer.

I tried to find the products in local shops but it didn't worked out well so bought it from bodybuilding website but I didn't bought Pycnogenol as it was optional and the first two already cost me 2.5k ( inr ).

Info for others ( might help) : i have acne on back ( not severe) but if someone see he cant ignore it, they are visible a lot and recently started getting on my face too , almost at the each end of my forehead ( they are small but alot ).

I am taking the week 2 dosage since 11 days and i can say its working very good on me and i am very happy with its progress, on face i can say they are gone upto 60% or more and back is improving as well ( ance marks are there but they will go with time i guess as this course wont help me with marks) .

I really want to thank you austinite from my heart ( no homo).

one question to u austinite, i took mass gainer almost 2 year back without even joining gym and that's the reason for my backne, i want to ask you when i am done with 500 caps of b5 and 50caps of zinc ( I am taking 100 mg of zinc and 20caps of b5 daily)
should i continue using any of these in future with low dosage for precaution from acne or not?

Thanks again

[austinite]

^ most important is to continue inc at 30 to 50 mg daily.

[btrizzyb]

500 is half a gram. So 10 pills at 500 is 5 grams.

You Should get pills dosed higher or get powder.

My b5 powder finally arrived yesterday. I've taken it twice so far, I couldn't finish it either time, it has a HORRIBLE taste! The first time I tried it in water, the second time in Gatorade. Any other suggestions? The stuff is so nasty tasting I gag on it...

[austinite]

I use these, the mask the taste very well...

[btrizzyb]

That brand in particular, or just any drink mix like that?

[austinite]

I don't know. It's the only one I've used so I'm not sure how other brands would differ. I assume it's all the same. Just flavored powder packets. I've tried grape, lemon, etc... orange does the best job.

"Warning: For best results all other vitamins of B complex should be administered simultaneously. Prolonged ingestion of large doses of any one of the isolated B complex vitamins may result in high urinary losses of other B vitamins and lead to deficiency of these vitamins."

The thing about taking megadoses of anything, is that there is the danger of side effects ranging from minor to severe. Everywhere on this board that I've read about this B5 megadose therapy for acne, nobody mentions that it's important to take it with a B-complex vitamin. I remember hearing about the importance of taking ALL the B vitamins (B complex) for therapeutive benefits and the above statement supports that. However, some people on this board will even tell you NOT to take the B complex with the megadose of B5 -- why is that? Clearly, if you unbalance it, then you'll end up with more problems than you started.

I'm willing to take a B5 supplement, but not 10 or 20 a day, and I will take it would take it with a B-complex supplement as well. If that doesn't give me the results ya'll are taking about, then so be it. I'm not willing to risk my overall health because of it.

"Pantothenic acid (B5) : Supplements of pantothenic acid are used to support weak adrenal glands and to treat various symptoms of alergy. Pantothenic acid may help relieve constipation, promote healing of peptic ulcers, and overcome the intestinal paralysis that follows abdominal surgery. Creams containing pantothenic acid have been reported to help a wide range of skin conditions, including eczema.
RDA: est 4 - 7 Mg daily.
Therapy: 50 - 200 Mg."




BTW, I've done only a tiny amount of internet research and have already found this to be a bad idea. By taking too much of one B vitamin, you cause a deficiency in all the other B vitamins, which causes all sorts of side effects. Look up the problems associated with deficiencies in all the other B vitamins, and that's what you're looking at as side effects of taking megadoses of B5 by itself.

And if you don't care about your health and only your vanity: How about the idea of losing your hair or having it thin dramatically?

Oh yeah, and a 500mg tablet of B5 will give you 5000% of the recommended daily allowance. Just one is overkill. Can you imagine 20? That's 100,000% of the recommended daily allowance!!! That's just crazy.

Is this a joke? You've done a "tiny amount" of research and you post all this? You need to relax and check your facts. RDA is a joke and you can read plenty of studies with safe conclusory. Seriously, no need to spout off junk like this until you have more experience and knowledge with B vitamins. Next thing you will tell me that 10,000 mcg of B12 daily will hurt me.

Do some serious research before you post nonsense in threads, or better yet, start your own thread with warnings so I can debunk it.
