Pantothenic acid, also called vitamin B5, is a water-soluble vitamin required to sustain life. Pantothenic acid is needed to form coenzyme-A (CoA), and is critical in the metabolism and synthesis of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Chemically it is the amide between D-pantoate and beta-alanine. Its name is derived from the Greek pantothen (παντόθεν) meaning "from everywhere" and small quantities of pantothenic acid are found in nearly every food, with high amounts in whole grain cereals, legumes, eggs, meat, and royal jelly. It is commonly found as its alcohol analog, the provitamin panthenol, and as calcium pantothenate.

Pantothenic Acid has labored first-rate for my zits. You should take 10 grams a day, which is 20 drugs for me also. I realize it looks as if lots, however i attempted taking smaller doses and it failed to do anything for my zits. I advise that you are taking only 2 grams a day for the first week and spot the way it impacts your acne. Then gradually up the dosage each and every week. You should take the pills after a meal so you do not get diarrhea. Ensure you don't take the entire drugs without delay. You will have to take them throughout the day like after breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Pantothenic Acid is water-soluble, so it's unattainable to overdose on it. Hope this helps you together with your acne =)
