Q: B5 Pantonthenic Acid treatment

Hi all

I ordered B5 in powder form and it just arrived but now i am not sure what to do with it! I have taken the capsules before but it was too damn expensive so i gave up. I dont remember it being a miracle cure but it certainly helped and right now i am desperate. I need something to stop these painful breakouts that are constant. I remember that it made my pee green though...is that normal?

So onto my query.....
has anyone taken it in powdered form before and if so how?
Do i need to take more or less than with capsules?
Can i mix it with Juice or only water....how much liquid to each gram/part?

If anyone can help out i would be extremely grateful.

Thanks in advance

Jessica.

B5 is not always recommended for acne treatment. The green pee probably means you have too much B5 in your system. Have you tried medications for the acne? Have you seen the doctor? I would look online for the website of the company who produced your supplement and see if there are instructions for taking it there. I did find this information if it helps:

Powder: should be dissolved in a glass of water and then be swallowed. The dose if Powder is harder to measure, so it's recommended to use a weight balancer/scale. Some measure it with a teaspoon. Powder can easy be used as topical form (mixed with water and applied directly to skin as a cream)
