Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I went to the pharmacy today to try and get some B-5 cause I can't fing it anywhere. The parmacist told me that B-5 was Biotin. He gave me a bottle that comes 3000mcgs per pill. I told him that I was going to take a gram a day and he said that I would destroy my kidneys. He said to take only 6000mcgs a day for a month and then 3000mcgs after that. What is going on? Do you guys know what you are talking about or is he a dumbass? I told him it was to help w/ acne and he said that it can help for that. BamBam

I guess he isnt very well read on his vitamins!
B5- Pantothenic acid- I think it is great for acne, especially AS induced acne. It is the one thing that had cleared my skin up after breaking out bad from AS and has kept my skin almost 100% clear ( I dont use AS anymore though) I am using it right now at about 2-2.5grms per day.

You can get it in most places that sell lots of vitamins. The typical drugstore only has maybe a 30% chance of having it. A place that is more specifically a health food or supplement place will have it. I bought some today made by Twinlab. Just wanted to get on the stuff but I'm going to start looking for a good deal to get it really cheap.
Chances are it won't even say B-5 on it, it will just say Pantothenic Acid but it will be shelved with the rest of the B vitamins. I got it at Whole Foods in Los Angeles and there was at least 5 different makers of it on the shelf including Country Life, so it's not a rare supp or anything.
