Vitamin B5

I have high colesteral and been on Zocor for years, after starting the b5 1000mg a day treatment for a month I was very pleased with the results then one day I woke up and could not walk !! My leg joints were so inflamed that I was hospitalized for 5 days . Not till I told them I was taking the B5 did they find the cause. The B5 makes the Zorcor 10 times more powerful then without it. Luck for me it was a simple fix. But they told me long term affects of using both would over tax my liver as well. My colesteral level went form 230 before taking the B5 to 90 in 30 days. B5 and colesteral lowering meds dont mix.. Take it from me !! I stoped the B5 and my joint inflamation went away in a week. I was told that B5 makes the side effects of this durg and others 5 times worse. Good for one thing --Bad for another.

Will post back in 5 days when the bottle is empty and let you all know.

It works but don't expect it to cure everything. Do research on your own about the health problems that might arise. good luck!

cleared me up on 3 grams a day now im the coolest girl in rooks heath college

After reading message boards, product sites, medical research papers, and any other amount of research I could find I decided to start a daily dose of Vitamin B-50 (I chose it because it has 500% the daily value dose of Pantothenic Acid or Vitamin B5--or 50mg). This vitamin has been said that it aids the healing of acne and prevention of it coming back. I bought my B-50 at a well-known retail store in the pharmacy/vitamin section, and paid about $5 USD. I also take 1 dose of Zinc, 50mg (333% daily value), which I purchased for about $4 USD. Zinc aids in the immune system, fighting and preventing infection, which I have found is my acne problem, "infected pores". I take one pill of each. I've taken these vitamins for 1.5 months now, and my acne has cleared 95%. Using Zinc and B-50 my face is 95% better with little oil. I only break out a tiny bit during the week preceding my monthy cycle. I use a gentle cleanser and put 2.5% benz'l perox on my face nightly+for spot t

I have been taking 10 grms per day (5 gr. 4x daily)and I have noticed a drastic decrease in the oil production on my face. All existing zits and other types of bumps started drying up and there is only the dry skin which should dry off and be gone soon. I have been taking it for 5 days now and I hope it continues to decrease the oil on my face. I have had oily skin since I was 16 and after taking accutane about 5 times with no long lasting results, I was just depressed and hopeless. I started reading about vitamin b5 and so far I see improvment. I will do anything not to have to wash my face 10 times a day and not to be feeling greasy all the time. I bought vitamin b5 at GNC. 500mg pills and I take right now 20 pills a day.

Why waste your money. It doesn't work. Have your doctor perscribe Bactrim or Minocycline. These are the only things that have worked for me.

I was on a dosage of vilantae at 10g per day for five weeks. I have only mild acne but oily skin. At first product was great skin oil reduced and acne subsided to almost completely clear at around 3 weeks in. At the start of the 4th week started to notice hair was easily falling out when washing, but considered that maybe I was looking to closely, at the end of the 4th week, hair was brittle and dry and shedding at an alarming rate, at that point I quit, but another 3 weeks on I have almost a complete bald patch on the right hand-side next to my ear. I feel ripped and vain for buying into this, as my acne was so mild. BEWARE OF B5.

this stuff saved me.

Although it is cheap it has done almost nothing for me except stomach growling every couple of hours, gas, loose stools for the past two months i have been on 6-10mg per day. If i were you i would try zinc it has made my oily skin less oily especially around noon when it is an oil slick.
