Can I just coenzyme a to get rid of acne?? Since it's because we are lack of coenzyme a which makes us oil skin?? Would that help?

Thanks for all the information. I have started on Vitamin B5, yesterday was my third day today I will be starting day 4. So far symptoms I've had, I get so hungry, and I have been getting so sleepy. I'll take naps and I'll wake up feeling sleepier than before. Anyone had this symptom as well? Maybe I just need to start taking Vitamin b-complex.

B5 makes you sleepy? That's odd, seeing as it is a B-vitamin. Maybe that's to do with something else?

DECENT PRICE: I just got mine yesterday, I jumped right into the 500 mg. It was at GNC for only(gnc brand called pantothenic acid) 14.99 for 100 pills that is a 50 day supply. Note: Inside a lot of rite aides are GNC shops, so it is easier to find.
QUESTION: does taking it at night keep you awake? I found it listed in my energy drink and it also says it is for energy metabolism so I was just checking: I have sleep issues..

Just started this regime. Using my common sense, It is possible that it could be a slight placebo. However, I was on about 2G of B5 for a few weeks and my skin looked good. 3 days after stopping it, my skin broke out badly.

With most of our skin conditions its so hard to link success with results. In other words, how do you now know that it is just a coincidence that your skin sometimes is better on B5.

Remember to use L carnitine.

I think 10G of B5 is a little to much for anyone.

Im hoping to take between 5-8 with some L carnitine and Biotin.




Has anyone actually asked there GP about this?

There are thousands of posts online about B5, but no references from everyday doctors.

Hi! my dermatologist actually prescribes b5 to her patients. i've never tried it though but im thinking of trying it under my derma's supervision before jumping into accutane. will update.

Wow it sounds like A LOT of pills to take...

Roughly how long did it take for this to work for people?

Has anyone had good results with this, been able to stop taking B5 and still have clear skin???
