B-5

[allaboutmiami]

so all this talk about vitamin B-5 has me wondering

why has my doc or derm never recommended it to me, why is it never mentioned in health tips in magazines
and why, why cant i buy it in Wal-Mart, in the section where they have 10000 vitamin products there, or at drug stores

if this product huge potential, why is it not readily available\

and why have i never heard of it before untill i came to this site

im not bashing, im just asking

First of all I wouldn't bet on Wal-Mart being the optimal place to find my specialty vitamins. Just recently I was out of town and needed some, so I went to a Vitamin Shoppe where they had 5 different kinds at 500mg.

I read about it over on EF, not here so this is definately not the only board where you'll find users.

One reason why your Derm. hasn't recommended it is because they can't profit from an OTC that does just as well as some of the prescription meds they advise you to use. That's coming from someone who has used Accutane while under doc. supervision and all the topical creams available. A quick Google search will return many unbiased opinions where B5 was a Godsend.

Might be because of the rather high dosages that are required for it to work.

Thread about vitamin B-5 and where to buy it cheap, although the information is now rather old: http://www.steroidology.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68664#post1054005

Also cheap out caladin's post in that thread which has a link which provides more information on B5 for acne.
