Hi, I've been on 10g B5 (from Holland & Barrat) for 3 weeks and so far I've
seen no improvement in acne or oiliness, if anything it's got worse. How
long should I expect to wait to see improvements?

If it works for you, it would probably show within 5-7 days.
Obvious reduction in oil, and tighter pores.
Did you space out the daily dosage? Don't take all 10g at one go.

I'm taking the Holland & Barrett 8-hour time-release, 5g in morning, 5g in
evening, so it should be evening dissolving in my body.

Try another brand? Can you recommend a good brand or 'type' that I can get
*in the UK*?

Thanks.

I took Swiss Formula's timed release and found it inferior. I found a B5
website and
it concurred with my inclination that time-released tablets are not as
effective. I then
switched to Swiss Formula 1g tablets which were so hard to swallow. So
finally I bought
NOW brand B5 powder. Stir a teaspoonful of it in water and you get a good
dose.
Drink twice and you might be amazed by its effects. I took it for about 2
months and
have sinced stopped since March. But I have not had any more active acne and
my
face is 85% clear. Apparently the B5 megadosage kick-starts the body to do
what it
ought to have done on its own. Some people take maintenance doses of 1g/day
but
I am completely off it. Ok, maybe a 2g drink once every fortnightly when I
feel like it.

I do realise that Acidophilus and/or Lecithin helps a lot. Those 10 billion
tiny bugs per
capsule are working very well for me, and they are cheap. So is lecithin.

Check out the site - it's not mine, I just find it informative.

If you have NOW in the UK, give it a try and let us know how you feel.

PS: Alternatively does anyone have experience of the Life Extension B5
powder, as I get a discount with them?

try a non time-release one

try 2g at breakfast, 2g at lunch, 2g at dinner, 2g before bed, then take the
remaining two grams between these doses

I bought from Vitaglo when I used B5. The powder stuff is like one fourth
the price of the capsules (I used to get capsules from GNC). Both worked
effectively, although the powder is a little less convinient to take but you
eventually get used to it and the taste as well.

Well, it's online....so I'm sure you can have it shipped to the UK.

I realise that but the point is shipping normally costs 3 times as much as
the product and then I pay customs import tax on top, so... looking for one
in the UK - anyone?

Thanks.
