Q.What is Vitamin B5?
A.Vitamin B5 is also known as Pantothenic Acid. An organic compound, part of the vitamin B complex, essential in animal metabolism. Found in all living cells and tissues, in animals it occurs in the combined form called coenzyme A, which promotes many reactions necessary for growth and well-being. Since it is synthesized by bacteria normally in the human intestine, deficiency leading to disease does not occur. B5 is sometimes referred to as Panthenol or Calcium Pantothenate. It has been shown to help metabolize fats as well as break down sebum.

Q.What are the benefits of taking pantothenic acid?
A.It’s involved in energy production as it plays a role in the Krebs cycle. Vitamin B5 is also involved in the creation of adrenal hormones and red blood cells. Once consumed, your body converts vitamin B5 into coenzyme A, a catalyst. This is crucial to the body in the production of energy.
Vitamin B5 works together with other B Vitamins in the ATP making process. This is important because ATP accelerates the cells in the body providing energy for you to operate your body on daily. Studies have shown that pantothenic acid can help your body maintain cholesterol levels and healthy levels of triglyceride.

Q.Do I need a prescription in order to buy B5?
A.No, this is a nutritional supplement that can be purchased over the counter.

Q.How soon will it work?
A.Everyone is different and some will take longer to respond. However, it has worked for over 90% of everyone that has tried it. Skin usually becomes less oily within 3 days to 2 weeks. Acne starts diminishing within 60 days. Mild to medium acne sufferers may have clear skin within 60 days while severe acne sufferers may need to wait at least 6 months for clear skin. So, worst case scenario while on B5 alone, you may need to wait up to 6 months for flawless skin although a high percentage see desired results much sooner.
