Vitamin B5 Reviews

Within a week of swallowing 2 1000mg tablets daily, my skin was not as oily, my pores were smaller and best of all, my pimples shrank! It's been 6 months, and my face is perfectly clear!

If you are having acne problems, try taking pantothenic acid. You might have a deficiency. Take the about 2000 - 5000 mg of the vitamin daily for about 1-2 months and cut down to 500mg daily. If you are concerned about the effects, please see a physician about it.

By the way, only "mega-dosing" on fat-soluble vitamins can harm you. Vitamin B5 is a water-soluble vitamin so your body will use what is needed and flush out the rest in your urine, making the vitamin virtually non-toxic.

David Johnson, I disagree with you. Yes, with certain vitamins it can be dangerous to overdose. Obviously, before you take a medication or "natural supplement," you need to do some research on it. You need to learn what levels are safe to take, how long you can safely take it, and whether you need to take other vitamins with it to avoid causing an imbalance of other vitamins. Also, if taking other drugs you need to make sure it won't produce a dangerous interaction. Now, as for treating medical problems such as acne or dandruff, with vitamins, I'm all for it. Vitamin deficiencies can cause many problems in your body. Unfortunately, doctors don't bother treating people for vitamin deficiencies. All they know how to do is mask your symptoms with drugs. Obviously this is in the doctors best interest -- if you treat the actual problem and prevent the occurrence of other problems through a healthy diet and supplementing with vitamins, you'll be healthy and won't need to GO TO THE DOCTOR OR TAKE DRUGS. The doctor and the pharmaceutical companies care more about money than your well-being. So, next time you have a skin problem, look up vitamin deficiency signs and symptoms because it probably is due to an imbalanced diet.

The best thing I have ever tried. I have had consistant breakouts ever for the past 10 years and this stopped them completely. My acne was moderate but I took 300mg every time I used the bathroom and using a salicylic wash to clean out dead skin from my pores along with the cetaphil moisturizer and I noticed a difference within a week. I wouldn't recommend the high dosages that are prescribed in that paper. 500mg-1g should be enough for most people. The key is to take small amounts everytime you use the bathroom so that it is constantly in your system. If you take a huge amount once per day your body will expel most of it without absorbing it.

Well, it's really cheap at GNC and i think it seems to do pretty well for me. I take two 250mg tablets (cuz i didn't noticed the 500mg right next to it) and my skin definetly feels better. I think the benefit of this vitamin, is that you can miss a wash or two and you won't notice that big of a difference in the amount of acne that grows. However, lately i've been twitching a lot....hmm...could it be the vitamins? nah...

This was my acne cure. But I need 5 grams a day for it to work.

I take 1g/day and it has completely cured me. 1 bottle, which lasts 100 days, only costs $12 at GNC.
