I took 5grms day for only about a week and a half because it cleared up so nice. Went down to 1-2grms a day cause I'm taking fina. Maybe back down on your dose just a little. | ||

It's working for me blklotus. I'm using 5 grams a day. My skin feels great! I have naturally oilly skin and man it feels good to have normal skin. My acne is clearing up and I don't seem to be getting anymore pimples or anything. Maybe up your dose to 8-10 grams. I've heard of people using higher doses like that. I think they were using 10 grams in that study. Also, I think I'm going to try a vit b5 cream to go with the pills. I'm thinking about breaking open some of my b5 caps and mixing them in with one of my wifes face creams. She has like 20 different brands! I'll just use one of the ones she spent $50 on and used ONCE and will NEVER use again FOR SOME STUPID REASON LIKE SHE DOESN'T LIKE THE WAY IT SMELLS OR....[deep breath] Ahh, that feels better. Sorry I got off on a rant. You know how it is. | ||

It worked great for me at 3 grams a day. It did not dry my skin. Another good way to get rid of acne is tea tree oil, I had a few areas that would not go away put the tea tree oil on everyday for about 4 days and it was gone. Just thought I would let you know. | ||

No, Bull. You just take 5-10 grams of pantothenic acid (vitamin b5) in divided doses throughout the day. I take 4 500mg caps twice a day and 2 caps once. 5 grams. Works great. Good luck lotus. You might not even need 5 grams. Scar Face sayed he used 3 (That user name is just too perfect for this thread), but blklotus probably needs to use more. I'd start at 5 grams and see how it goes. | ||

is it possible that too little of a dose can have the reverse effect. i bought 250mg caps and im only taking like 4 a day and it seems like my face is breaking out more, anyone?.. | ||

Deisel I dont think a low dose should create the opposite. I started at 5grms (I think that should be the starting point for anyone giving it a try and from there assessing how they have been progressing), and after a week or so I dropped it to 1-2grms/day. I'm even taking fina right now and with the small dose my face seems to be under control. | ||

I just bought some 500mg tabs today. Start my cycle up in a week, so ill start taking them then. I dont have acne now, and i definitely dont want it, but when you are cycling Sust/Enanthate/Prop/Dbol/EQ, there might be some problems with it if i dont have something like B-5 in me. Lets hope it works. | ||

I picked up ten bottles of Thompson 500MG, I have using it for 2 days at 5grams a day. I just take all ten pills before going to bed. My skin actully does look better. I was getting alot of little fuckin zit because of the post cycle combined with the hot, Humid weather. They seem to have been clearing up??!! This brand is uncoated tabs. They taste shitty!!! Plus they are huge. I got them for 2.50 a bottle from healthcentralrx. I had coupons for 20 off 40!! Has anyone been on this shit for a long time. What damage may occur??? Liver? Kidney? Maybe ulcers??? How long should someone do this for?? And finall can I take these will cycling?? I have a week to go before I blast the receptors!!! | ||

aky, I couldn't find anywhere that had the 1000mg pills, so I got the 500mg. It is a little bit of a pain in the ass, but it's well worth it. And, I don't see why you couldn't take more than 1 gram at a time. I take two grams at a time, and dahmer takes all his 5 grams at once. Just try it and see how it works for you. | ||

What's the difference?? This isn't d-bol!!! It's b-5!!! Take them all at once. It does give me heartburn. I hope I am not just seeing shit. It really seems to be working!!! How come dermatologist don't suggest this??? My doc gave me Avelex and benemyacin. Two days with b-5 and I look better??!! | ||

Because this is a water soluable vitamin it will clear out of your system in a few hours.Therefore,take divided doses hours apart to have some in you for most of 24 hrs. instead of 3-4hrs.after huge dose. | ||

I'm searching and searching for more scientific studies on this stuff in high doses, not much out there now. If it works...it's almost too good to be true. I'm sure it causes cancer and death just like everything else...lol DJ |
