for all that was interested by the post a little bit back with the study done on Pantothenic Acid (B5) and its effects on acne. I've decided to give it a try, I'm taking 6grms a day for about a week, then dropping to 4grms a day. I'll keep everyone posted on my progress.     | ||

I got some too. But that seems like an awful lot. 500mg is 5000% percent of the RDA. 6grams is 60000% of the RDA. I know the RDA doesn't mean shit, but can that much of a vitamin be good for you? My doc told me too much vitamin A can be toxic, can't this be toxic too in high doses? | ||

there have been studies where people were given 20gms a day for two months with no toxicity problems or side effects, so taking 5gms a day is no problem at all. | ||

Do you have any experience using this E2? Is 5gr what you would do? | ||

If you dont work at GNC and buy them there they are 11.99 or 100 or 17.99 or 200. If you work there they are free.lol that is what you get paying MOFOs $5.75 per hour. ------------------ | ||

yeah 6grms a day is alot for any vitamin, however the study that was posted a few days ago stated that the doses that were administered to patients ranged from something around 5grms to 20grms, which is a shit load. I'm taking 6grms a day just to 'load', then going to take 4grms/day. I want to clear my acne before I start my cycle, which should be in about 2-3 weeks. By the way, I'm taking 40,000 IUs Vit A also with the Pantothenic acid. Maybe it will be a kick ass combo. | ||

To answer your question about B5 being toxic: don't worry about it. All B vitamins are water soluble which mean you will just piss out what the body doesn't use or uptake. Your doc was right when he said vitamin A is toxic in high dosages b/c it's fat soluble, like vitamin E. Therefore these vitamins get stored in fat cells and can cause some major health risks if takien in high dosages for an extended period of time. | ||

Dont worry about the pantothenic acid, delt is right, it is a b vit which is water soluable and you wizz out what you cant use. on the other hand vit A that comes from fish oils can be toxic because it is stored in you liver and fatty tissue, but vit A from a beta carrotine or a carritiniod complex is water soluable to a certain extent, the worst that will happen with mega doses is you will turn a cool shade of orange, kind of like old dyoderm. >>>>BURN<<<< | ||

you guys are right about water soluble vitamins being fairly safe because you body can remove excess and that fat soluble is what needs to handled more carefully. Basically non-polar compounds can be toxic to the human body because they build up and cannot readily be removed by water. Waters structure makes it a polar compound and will attach to compounds that are polar also, therefore being able to break apart and remove if needed. |
