Here's a good read for you in the event you have to "face" this dilema (get it??? "face".............LOL):

Coenzyme A is also responsible for other important aspects of the body including sex hormone synthesis. When there is a lack of coenzyme A, the body is forced to choose between using the available coenzyme A for sex hormone synthesis or for metabolizing fats (the breakdown of fats). Hormone synthesis is given the priority (without it sex organs do not develop) and as result, the body has trouble breaking down all of the necessary fats.

Thanks. I tried to give you karma but I have to spread it around a bit more first.

I see an inconsistency in the above paragraph. If the deficiency in coenzyme A is caused by the body "choosing" to make sex hormones rather than fat metabolism, someone injecting gobs of exogenous test should not have a deficiency. The body isn't synthesizing any sex hormones at a significant rate in this case due to HPTA suppression so the body shouldn't be forced to "choose". Yet, people on high dose test still have a problem with acne.

I think this entire article may be geared toward selling a vitamin B5 supplement. Still a good read though.

I just started using it and I love it. I have only been on for 3 or 4 days and my remaining zits are now gone and my skin feels good. of course puritans pride screwed up and sent me 6 bottles of 200mg of b5 instead of 3 bottles of 400. so now I am taking like 15 pills of b5 a day. sucks but oh well it works well.

It's also important to have the nutrients available that assist in the absorption of B5, the allocation of coenzyme A, and the breakdown of carbohydrates.

does anyone know what helps in the absorption of vitamin b

This is one of the only products from BAC I dot like. I had my wife on 10 grams of the stuff and there was no affect. The Puritan product has been amazing.

I use multiple BAC products, but for some reason, this one doesnt work as well!

Really? That sucks, I don't get it--it should be the same freakin' chemical right? But damn, even if you take 20 grams a day insn't it still cheaper?

I'm going to say this for the last time.

B5 works in VERY, VERY few individuals. And you have to take massive dosages(10g+)

And even then, your acne might get worse.

The best bet is Guggulsterones at 180mg/day. Syntrax's Guggulbolic is what I use. You can use any LEGITIMATE 10% extract, extracted for E-Z Guggulsterones.

Guggulsterones beat out tetracycline in acne-fighting by 66% to 63% in acne reduction. Thats how good they are.

Blows B5 completely out of the water.
