Just rec'd my huge bottle of pantothenic acid today...enough to last 30 days using 5mg a day. I made sure to get a brand with no additives (yeast, corn, wheat, sugar, salt, soy, gluten, artificial colors etc). I'll keep you all posted on how this goes for me... Question though...other ingredients are listed as gelatin (the capsules) and magnesium stearate. I've seen this name before and don't know what it is?? ------------------ [This message has been edited by skydancer (edited August 29, 2000).]     | ||

In my everyday vitamins, I have 75mg of Vit-B....I find it works for me...but, even the week before my period, nothing can save me from acne..... | ||

Started taking the B5 last week Thursday after reading the post. No new pimples, the old ones drying out. Hope this stuff works. Couldn't find it in gel or cream form to apply directly to the skin. Does anyone know where to get it? ------------------ | ||

If I recall the average dose stated in that report for pantothenic acid was in a rage of 10 to 20 grams a day! So thats in the meduim range of about 30/500(mg)tabs a day!! Holy Chit Man! Vitamin Shoppe has a price of around 19 bucks fer 300/500mg caps...thats about 5 days if you follow the study! Yikes!Hmmmm...I'll keep searchin fer that potent injectible form!(kidding);-) | ||

I've been taking 10 pills a day...split up into 5 doses with meals. So far I have noticed LESS OIL both on face and back!! So I am encouraged. No sides at all in stomach, bm's etc. I drink tons of water too so I'm sure that helps. I'll keep you posted. ------------------ | ||

Okay - its been 12 days and while my skin is not perfect, I just got my M cycle (early no less) and my skin is by far less broken out than it usually is this time of the month. Where normally I would be pretty severly broken out, I've only had a few smaller pimples. Still noticing less oil production as well. In fact in some areas getting too dry and needing to use a light lotion. Back and chest area is totally clear. I'll keep you posted...have a great week! ------------------ | ||

also, I saw 1000mg a shot of Vit B, they were time released too,,,but, I would think that much would make you flush....I dunno..... in reference to my body before and it's odd how only the few ubly zits bug me...my body isn't hideous or anything close to it......it's just zits really REALLY bug me.... OK, so, my boobs aren't as perky as they used to be.....hehe | ||

Hey all - still seeing improvements in skin. My cheeks are smooth for the first time in a long time. I just got back from vacation too (read crap food) and managed to keep the skin in pretty good shape. I'm pretty pleased overall. I'm wondering if a bigger dose might not give me more dramatic results. But for now I'm going to stick with the 5g/day. A liquid form of this stuff would be really nice...I'm popping pills all day long! sheesh! My skin is noticably improved though so I'm pretty happy! ------------------ | ||
