I started out taking a multi-vit, a b50 complex, zinc, and biotin but now I don't take any of those. Honestly my results have been better without them though it could be a coincidence because of the t...

Well, as a result of an e-mail I sent to them, Roche have contacted me and are interested in what I've got to say as they've left me an answerphone message asking me to call them back. I'll be calling...

i just wanted to throw a little wrench in ur theory. isn't it possible that taking the biotin threw off another bvitamin that is needed? One of the things I tried during B5 megadosing was taking ...

I still remain convinced that Accutane and B5 both work by causing a Biotin or Biotinidase deficiency and as such shrink the sebaceous glands so they stop producing sebum. I'm noticing more and more s...

I'm still at a loss as to how Accutane can cause heat intolerance and sweating in certain individuals. It's kind of a relief to know that other people are experiencing a similar issue, although at the...

hey craigy what are biotin rich foods that I should avoid while on tane?? Taking Accutane should ensure that ingesting foods that contain Biotin doesn't have any impact on sebum production as Accu...

I came off B5 and my intolerance to heat and sweating got better, although not 100% as I always felt a lot warmer than the people around me. Unfortunately my oily skin started coming back so I've had ...

Accutane has appeared on various news websites recently regarding new research that in mice it appeared to trigger a depression type state, although this study hadn't been conducted in humans so it is...

B5 itself isn't toxic because it's water soluble so as long as you're getting enough water the excess will be flushed out when the body doesn't need it anymore so there's nothing really to worry about...

I've always suffered with being quite hot when people around me are cool and as a result I sweat a lot. I've found that both B5 and Accutane have increased that side effect for me so lowering Biotin o...

The thing is all three work in slightly different ways as far as I can tell from the research I've done so far, but ultimately have the same action: Accutane causes a Biotinidase deficiency which mea...

doesnt raw eggwhite (the avidine in it) also inhibit biotin? Raw egg white is another one of the things that can inhibit Biotin as the Avidin contained within it binds to the Biotin making it biol...

I'm still trying to research this Biotin theory further. I used to take B5 which worked really well in stopping oil production, however I suffered with a side effect of heat intolerance and sweating. ...

A mixture of responses there. I'm still suffering with the sweating quite badly at the moment. The two triggers seem to be environmental temperature and any kind of exertion. When I get the two combin...

All we need now is a willing subject to consume vast quantities of raw egg whites whilst taking no biotin supp to see if it helps and how many are needed . I found a Google Groups post from a body...

Why don't you focus your intension onto the root cause of your acne? Not just getting rid of it. The root cause of my acne is oily skin caused by overactive sebaceous glands due to their sensitivi...

This still hasn't disappeared. I used to get it with B5 too so I was hoping I wouldn't have the same problem on Accutane but it seems I have!

When I first started on B5 megadosing at 10g a day it took around a month to see a reduction in oil and a further month before I was completely clear. I started noticing hair loss around 6 - 8 months ...

I'm not sure how accutane (vit a) has any relation to biotin though, so could all be just coincidence in my case, but its something maybe for people to try if they are taking biotin supps. If you ...

Craigy, I'm very fascinated by your findings, and it seems like you're on to something. My question is, what was the amount of Biotin you took a day, and for how many days did you take it, before you ...

If it was that simple accutane/B5 would not be needed. Do you know that some people with dry skin also suffer acne? Your analysis is flawed. I do appreciate that some people with acne have dry...

One of the big reasons I switched from B5 megadosing to Accutane was B5 was giving me terrible sweats and I'm finding a similar thing with Accutane. I always feel warm even when it's cool, I can't han...

hey craigy how long was it before you saw really good results on B5??? How come people who take the B-complex still have success with B5 then? I think I would be too afraid to stop the B-complex b...

I've still been doing internet research and I think there's more than just a connection with my theory that inhibiting Biotin or Biotinidase (which prevents Biotin from being used) is the action behin...

I used to megadose B5 to control my acne and oily skin. I was on it off and on for around 4 years and found it to be very good, so good in fact that I'd go as far as to call it a cure as it completely...
