What happened to all the posts?? If I recall there were several post in the ladies section as well as others about Pantothenic Acid (Vit B5). Curious as to how things have been going for those of you who have been trying it out?!? I currently have been using accutane to solve the pesky prob, but its known to be a little rough on the ole liver for some. Thinkin about using Pantothenic acid as another option/alternative. Wanted to know how everyone is doing with it? Thanks, Shanahan    | ||

I took 5g/day for 3 weeks and didn't notice much results. I'm probably going to keep taking it for another 3 weeks and see if it starts working or not. ------------------  | ||

I used with great results Betadine (polivinilpirrollidone-iodio/10%iodio...I don't know the name for your Country/State).It's like a "soap"you have to use each time you shower,every day,if you can!It's great,trust me! | ||

Im with B-funk on this one. I have been taking 5grams/day for the past 2 weeks and have seen no improvement on my acne. Im also taking Doxycycline 100mg per day, and using Neutrogena acne wash on my back and shoulders. I dont understand, because i was taking a little more AAS on my last cycle, and didnt break out at all until after the cycle was up and i started using clomid. Now, its week 3 of my current one, and acne is all over me. I dont know what to do, but go to the dermo next week and get something stronger. ------------------ EMAIL: [email protected] | ||

Hardcore4Evr You're acne is coming from the clomid. This very common and it goes away when you stop. Just a note.. Doxycycline inhibits protein systhesis. There are no antibiotics worse for a body builder than anything in the cycline family and Doxy is one of the strongest. ------------------ | ||

A while back..I think it was Lobo that posted the documented study on pantothenic acid. I have found a copy on the web site (www.coenzyme-a.com/acne_vulgaris) most of its there. I think they mentioned 10gm a day and then tapering down to a maintence dose of 5gm. In some cases almost as much as 15 to 20 gms. I dunno I orderd a bunch, Twin lab 500mg 200 for 11 bucks. I'll probably go with 8gm then down to 4, thats a bunch O pills! I need the potent injectable form!!! hehe! Well even if it helps with the oily skin during the last part of my cycles...well worth it! I'll give it a shot! Shanahan | ||

The most concentrated form I've found so far are 1g capsules from http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/panto.html I thought that they were going to be huge pills, but they're not. They really help cut down the number of pills/day. ------------------ | ||

I used 5g's for about a week, saw a little improvement, then bumped up to 10g a day for about 1 1/2 weeks, my post cycle acne is totally gone now. |
