Great Treatment for Hormonal Cystic Acne
I've been taking these for years to control my hormonal cystic acne. Dosing is by weight I believe. Some people need it 3X's a day, but I get by with 2X's a day. Many people complain that it will cure acne but must've maintained. That says to be it doesn't cure it, but it treats it. I'd rather take this than use a Vitamin A cream that only somewhat treats it and then causes thinning of the dermis. I've recommended this to several people who've also found relief from cystic acne. Do your research if you're interested in learning more.

Love!
I’ve been taking these off & on for about 4 years now. I started taking them in my mid-twenties when I was experiencing very bad breakouts and adult acne & it was the only thing that cleared my face up despite everything else I had tried - and it worked in a matter of DAYS. I still take it whenever I’m stressed and my skin is suffering. Highly recommend!

Great Product ever
I don't know how to give this product a complement . But it is amazing. Really ridicules. I have been struggling into acne since I was 13-14 and I'm now almost 20. Last 2 years, my face was really really bad. It was acne all over my face and red. However, after I started taking this product about 6-10 pills a day. After 1 bottle, my face had clear up. I don't even need to use a lot of make up to cover up my acne and scar now. I don't even have any more acne. Scar also start fading away. I plan to continue taking it for 3 months to have a great result.

Big thumb up for this product. So amazing. I have been recommended to more than 10 other people. I hope it will also work out for them like it did to me.

Works very well on acne
I'm in my late teens and have had moderate acne since I was 12, and even before. Evidently, this problem was caused by my overactive oil glands (darn genetics!) creating buildup and causing inflammation. I read about B5 online and decided to give it a shot since topical treatments were doing absolutely nothing for me except making my face a flakey mess. Having nothing to lose, I ordered NOW Foods brand Pantothenic Acid. It helped, but the effect was somewhat temporary. I ran out and decided to buy the Vitamin Shoppe brand B5. There was a huge difference in the effectiveness and my skin almost entirely stopped producing oil. I have continued with a 5g dose daily for about a month now and my skin is glowing! The acne scars are still fading, but other than that, I'm free from breakouts! The only time I have broken out is when I forgot to take my vitamins to school. Don't miss a whole day of doses like I did and your skin will heal up very nicely.

Works for acne
I was on Accutane for a year, it worked great for my acne only product that really got rid of acne, but once I got off of it, acne came back in 3 months. I read about b-5, I took 20 pills a day. 10 in the morning 10 at night. Got acne under control, oily skin was gone, but I had diarrhea every day for about 2 yrs....!!!!
(its 13 yrs later and I still have acne), Im beyond frustrated with dermatologists,but I went back to a dermatologist and they put me on Tazorac its like Accutane but topical. And Its $$$$$$. After 3 months I noticed it actually worked, but I still have oily skin so I have to spend $$ on B-5 again. Really wish I have nice skin and prefect pores. sick and Tired of spending $$$ on Acne solutions that just get it under control!

Best Answer:  Acne with Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5)
Having Severe Acne Really is No Fun

.More:AcneChest AcneSmaller PoresCured.tweet1PrintFlagClose
Post a commentFrom the age of 14 onwards, I was plagued with terrible acne. By the time I was 35, after 20 years of suffering, I still had severe breakouts on my face, arms, back and chest. I had spent thousands of dollars on visits to the dermatologist, numerous acne creams - both over the counter and prescription - and antibiotics and other medications. All to no avail. My skin was still awful, it was embarrassing to wear short sleeved shirts or clothes that showed my neck and chest, and forget about swimming. In a million years, I would never have gone out in public in a swim suit as my skin was so ugly.
Then one day, about 7 years ago, I was browsing around the internet and decided to do a search for 'Acne Treatments'. I read the usual stuff about antibiotics, Accutane, herbal remedies and various over the counter ointments and creams. "Been there, done that, tried that, doesn't work", I thought. I clicked to the next page and my eyes fell upon an article on a study that had been done in Singapore with a group of people of Chinese descent who had acne.

The participants were aged from 10 to 30 years old. The study talked about how Dr. Lit-Hung Leung (the doctor responsible for the study) had given the participants 10 grams of Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) every day in 4 divided doses. They were also given a cream to use which contained 20% Pantothenic Acid. Within a few weeks, almost every participant in the study had reduced their acne significantly or cured it altogether. They also noticed an enormous difference in oil production (sebum) on their skin and markedly smaller pores.

After reading the article, I looked on line and discovered that Pantothenic Acid is a water-soluble vitamin. What this means is that you can take just about as much as you want without any overdose problems as, whatever your body doesn't need, is simply eliminated in your urine. Obviously, from everything I read online, there was no danger in trying the large doses of the vitamin. So, I tried it.

I went to the drugstore and bought a huge bottle of Pantothenic Acid and took my first dose. I started off by taking 10 grams (twenty 500mg pills) every day. Within 3 days of beginning the treatment, I began to notice my pores were smaller. The amount of oil my skin was producing was also less. As you could normally run a small car off the amount of oil my skin produced daily, this in itself was a huge development. Then, within the week, new acne stopped appearing all over my body and old acne began to heal.

One month later, I had completely clear skin. Clear skin on my face, my chest, my arms and my back. After over 20 years of severe acne, you can only imagine how this made me feel. For the first time, I could wear sleeveless blouses, low necks and swimsuits!

I have since continued to take the Pantothenic Acid. After about 6 months of staying with the 10grams a day amount, I gradually decreased it down to 4 grams (8 500mg pills) and that's what I continue to take daily as a maintenance dose to maintain my clear skin. I do notice if I forget to take the pills for a few days, my skin begins to erupt again. Going right back to taking the pills gets rid of the acne quickly though.

A quick tip - I order my Pantothenic Acid tablets from several websites as I have found it's much cheaper to buy from these sources than from a drug store, especially if you buy several bottles at one time as they often then give free shipping.

Anyone use this for lowering cholesterol?

Best Answer:  No. But with vitamin b6 it will boost your immune system. Helps to avoid viral infections.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is homocysteine?

    Homocysteine is an amino acid that interacts with B vitamins and converts to methionine (a protein-building amino acid and antioxidant) and cysteine (an amino acid that supports liver health). Over time, homocysteine can accumulate in the bloodstream, potentially impacting cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and more.

    What does “bioavailable” mean?

    When something is bioavailable, it means that it’s more readily absorbed and used by the body.
