Vitamin B5 for Acne -- Powder VS. Pills
 
EzineArticles.com Basic AuthorVitamin B5 has become well known as the ultimate acne treatment -- particularly Vitamin B5 in powder form -- as acne sufferers across the globe are experiencing amazing results. If you are considering Vitamin B5 as an acne treatment, you’ll be faced with two options; powder or pills.

Powder has the advantage of being more easily absorbed by the body, meaning the Vitamin B5 you take will be that much more potent. Also, Vitamin B5 powder may be easier to take for people who dislike swallowing large amount of pills, and therefore, it almost always costs less. The main disadvantage of powder is the taste. However, new Vitamin B5 products entering the market have combated this problem by adding natural flavoring and sweetener, and has managed to made it quite delicious (believe me, unflavored Vitamin B5 powder is WAY worse than ground up Panadol!!).

The most common solution to the hard-to-swallow taste factor is is to take standard Vitamin B5 supplements in the form of capsules or tablets. The usual pill size is 500mg, meaning you would have to take 20 pills per day in order to get 10 grams (the average recommended dose to treat acne).

For best results, pills should be taken at four intervals per day (or ideally even more frequently), since your body can only absorb so much at once. This solution works, but is certainly an inconvenient one for people who don't like to frequently take pills. Also, it can get expensive quickly. Another potential problem is simply the limitations of standard pills, in that your body can only absorb a fraction of the contents.

Currently, only SkinB5 is offering a flavored Vitamin B5 powder as acne treatment.

The key to vitamin B5 for acne, is intake frequency! If you use it once a day, rather than three times a day, I can guarantee you will not experience the desired results. Please remember the following: Powder- 3 times daily, Pills- 4 times daily, if you follow these instructions you can say good bye to your acne.

You may have heard that Vitamin B5 is unsafe however that is completely untrue. Due to the effectiveness of Vitamin B5, skin care competitors have created false statements to mislead the consumer, to ensure there own non-vitamin B5 acne treatments continue to sell. Do not be fooled!
