How well does B5 work? What percentage of people does it work for?

In Dr. Lit-Hung Leung's clinical study, the results were over 90%. However, this was in a controlled group where patients followed instructions carefully and were under close supervision of a physician.We believe 80% to 85% is more realistic, which is about the same percentage as Accutane's (isotretinion) effectiveness. The most common reason for failure is not taking enough, not giving it enough time, and not sticking to a consistent amount on a daily basis.

How long will B5 take to work? Will I be able to see results by the end of my first bottle?

As with Accutane (isotretinion), B5 is not something that works over night. By the end of the first bottle, most people will start to see signs by their reduction in skin oil. That is not always the case however, especially for those who decide not to take the full 20 capsules per day. The body has to be jarred into producing additional coenzyme A. It generally takes up to 3 months to see B5's full effects. Because of this, we do not offer a money back guarantee after the first bottle. We recommend giving it at least three bottles for B5 to work. We offer a 100% money back guarantee for all three bottles plus an additional $50 bonus, if by that time it hasn't worked.

Does B5 work for both adults and teenagers?

Yes, Evolution-X B5 is effective for both adults and teenagers. You might be surprised, but the majority of people who use Evolution-X B5 Supplements are adults.

Why do you ask that everyone who orders B5 to report their results?

To help us gain support for clinical studies on B5 and to show that it is truly an effective treatment for acne. This is what must take place before B5 can become accepted by the mainstream medical industry. Our goal is to collect results from as many people as we can (note: personal information is never released to others). We want the results to be completely open and honest, which is something extremely rare for acne websites on the Internet. As incentive to report back to us, we offer $10 back in credit towards anything on the website for each of the two surveys completed. They each take only a minute to complete.

How much B5 do I need to take?

If you have never taken B5 before:

• For the first three days take 5 capsules, twice a day, for a total of ten capsules per day.

• After the first three days, take 5 capsules 4 times a day, for a total of twenty capsules per day (You only have to take this much initially).

• Continue taking 20 capsules a day for the first three months or until your acne is clear (three months is generally the time it takes to see the fullest extent of B5's benefits).

• Remember to take all of your capsules as consistently as possible. Write it down or keep track if you have to. Remember, clear skin is just around the corner.

• Once your acne has cleared up, slowly start reducing the number of capsules taken per day. 4 to 15 per day is generally enough depending on the extent of your acne. If you notice the return of pimples and oily skin, it means you went under your optimal daily amount. Return to the amount prior to your last reduction.

• Keep in mind that B5's effects are delayed roughly 2 weeks after consumption. If you have just started B5, it may take longer, as the body must first be jarred into producing additional coenzyme A.

Although it takes time to see the full benefits of B5, it also takes time for it
to fade on a lower amount. Sometimes people don't realize this until two or
three weeks after they've gone below their optimal daily amounts.

Doesn't 20 capsules a day seem like a lot to be taking?

This is the most common question that we get. The capsules are very easy to swallow. Keep in mind it's only temporary, it's 100% safe, and it's extremely effective. The purpose of the 20 capsules per day is to force the body into producing more coenzyme A. It has to be initially jarred. After greater coenzyme A production has started, the number of capsules taken per day can be reduced to a maintenance dose of between 4-15 capsules per day.

Back to Top

Why don't you offer 750mg or 1000mg capsules?

We used to think offering larger capsules would be better, because it would allow for less capsules to be swallowed per day (ours currently have 510mgs of B5). We soon realized that having capsules in that size was not the way to go, because they were just too difficult to swallow. Believe us when we say you do not want capsules in that size.

The problem with larger capsules (especially when a person is taking more than one at a time) is their tendency to get stuck in a person's pallet (the throat). They don't get stuck in the typical sense of a person choking. However, it has the potential to be uncomfortable, painful, and even dangerous. This is especially true if you're eating when a capsule's stuck in your pallet. This never happens with our capsules.

Why hasn't the medical community begun to realize the great benefits of B5 already?

•Vitamin B5 is an all natural treatment.

•There is no incentive to spend the vast resources of getting B5 approved as a drug, when it is not patentable.

There are established protocols about how to show if a treatment is effective through clinical studies. Clinical studies are very expensive, and in order to compensate for these costs the FDA grants patent rights and other benefits to companies doing drug research. There are restrictions about what qualifies as patentable. Drugs are not naturally occurring substances, but are man made, synthesized through chemical reactions in laboratories.

Natural treatments on the other hand, are composed of substances that are naturally occurring. By their very nature, they are not patentable. Companies are not granted any form of compensation for doing clinical studies on natural treatments. What is the end result? More on the medical community and B5

What are the side effects of taking B5?

•A lightening of the stool is the main side effect.
•Mild diarrhea happens in some cases but is not very common.
•Severe diarrhea is very unusual. Please stop taking B5 however, if you get severe diarrhea.

Generally within the first three months, the body will adjust
to the high B5 intake levels and stool thickness will return to normal.

 


Our preliminary data indicates the following during the first month of Evolution-X B5 use:

Did Users Experience a Lightening of the Stool?

 

 

 

•Mild stomach irritation happens occasionally. Take B5 in lower amounts and at greater frequencies if this happens. Try to take it with food. If it persists reduce the amount of B5 taken per day. Again, the body tends to adjust to this, and the stomach irritation fades over time.

Our preliminary data indicates the following during the first month of Evolution-X B5 use:

Did Users Experience Stomach Irritation?

Please note that these graphs are preliminary data from our anecdotal study. The actual study will not be published for some time.

• Sensitive teeth is an extremely rare side effect.

• Possible headaches during the initial detoxification (the 1st week or so of starting).
It is a rare effect. It is more common among women.

• Some people experience an increase in energy and sense of well being.

• Some people experience a decrease in energy and sense of well being.

• If you have any adverse effects from B5 Supplements,
please stop taking it immediately and consult a physician.

Do not take B5 Supplements if you are pregnant or breast feeding.

Is B5 completely safe?

Vitamin B5 is a water-soluble vitamin and is very safe to take in high quantities. It is impossible to overdose. Besides the minor side effects, no adverse reactions have ever been reported. Numerous studies have confirmed it's safety. We advise against taking it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding however.

Will B5 interfere with any other medications?

No. B5 is an all-natural treatment. It will not conflict with any other medications. Please talk to your physician if you have any doubts or if you think you've had adverse effects from B5.

What if I just have mild acne? Would 5-10 capsules a day be enough?

For some people with light acne 5-10 capsules a day is more than adequate. However, this isn't always the case. The B5 threshold must be taken into account.

 

B5's effects tend to be enhanced the most above the 10 capsule per day range. This is because the body must be forced into producing additional coenzyme A in order to be effective. The initial threshold must be reached if you will. This is why we recommend 20 capsules per day until your skin is clear. If you have light acne it will clear even more quickly, so you can subsequently reduce your daily amounts.

Back to Top

Is it possible to take more than 20 capsules per day for very severe acne?

We still recommend 20 capsules per day even for severe acne. There is a small category of people with acne severe enough that it could warrant them increasing their intakes above 20 capsules per day. However, do not take above 20 capsules a day without first consulting a physician.

In the study by Dr. Lit-Hung Leung there were patients who took more than the equivalent of 20 Evolution-X capsules per day and improved their results. This should only be done under the direct supervision of a physician.

Can I take Accutane (isotretinion) and B5 at the same time?

B5 will not interfere with Accutane (isotretinion), but it is not recommended to take them at the same time. They both prevent acne in similar ways and taking both at the same time isn't necessary.

Back to Top

Can I take B5 as I'm coming off of Accutane (isotretinion)?

Yes. However, if Accutane (isotretinion) has already cleared your skin it may be perfectly possible to remain acne free just by keeping good maintenance with applied products. Otherwise, start taking B5 two weeks before you stop taking Accutane (isotretinion).

How important are the added ingredients in your Evolution-X B5 formula?

The added ingredients are very important. The two most important ones are niacin and biotin. The niacin increases bloodflow to the epidermis and helps cleanse the skin of toxins. Skin flushing is a common result of this. This increased bloodflow also makes it easier for fatty acids to be re-circulated into the bloodstream, instead of being released on the skins surface.

Biotin helps in the absorption of the B5. It is also a key component in helping the body break down fatty acids as well as proteins.

Riboflavin and thiamin assist the body in digesting food and allow for higher B5 absorption rates. Manganese is important for carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism. There are various other components to our formula, and they're all very important.

In addition, the molecular structure of B vitamins are very similar. If a person takes large quantities of vitamin B5 by itself, it can create a deficiency in the other B vitamins. Normally, it is important to take a B vitamin complex along with the high quantities of B5. Our B5 Supplements have this built into the formula however, so there is no need to take an additional vitamin B complex.

Another important thing to consider is there are different grades of quality for vitamin B5. Vitamin discounters will often buy substandard vitamins in order to sell them at a discounted price. Lower vitamin potency will bring lower results. It is much better to take high quality B5, because it allows you to take less capsules per day and increases results. Evolution-X B5 Supplements are made with the highest quality ingredients available. Their potency cannot be matched.

Back to Top

Are there any physical characteristics that would increase a person's chance for success with B5?

To a small extent, yes. It depends on a person's acne to oily skin ratio. For example, some people may have extremely oily skin, yet only have light to moderate acne. These people have a slight advantage with Evolution-X B5. Other people may have less oil on their skin, yet still have an equal amount of acne. This could be from differences in skin texture, the immune system, and other things. However, acne is still not possible without excessive skin oil. Evolution-X B5 is largely effective for everyone, and this ratio is just a small thing to take into consideration.

Back to Top

I just started taking B5 and my acne has increased. Is this normal?

During the first week of starting B5, some people notice an increase in their acne. This is possibly a result of the B5 pushing pre-existing pimples to the surface of the skin. It is nothing to be alarmed about. Keep in mind, the positive effects of B5 generally take 2-3 weeks, sometimes longer before they occur.

Back to Top

How do I know if Evolution-X B5 is right for me?

Evolution-X B5 is something that falls in between traditional applied skin products (soaps, cleansers, toners, topical treatments) and Accutane (isotretinion). There are many people whose acne is not helped by applied products, yet it simply isn't bad enough to warrant the step up to Accutane (isotretinion).

If applied skin products have not worked for you, Evolution-X B5 is something you should seriously consider. If you have not tried the more powerful topical treatments (Retin-A Micro, Benzamycin) then those might be a good option as well.

Something else to consider is:

•Evolution-X B5 will significantly reduce the amount of time you have to spend manually cleansing your skin, which is a definite plus. It also reduces the amount of money you have to spend on applied products.

In the end it's up to you to make the judgment call. We've tried to make this website as informative as possible. Please do not hesitate in talking to your physician if you have any doubts about Evolution-X B5 or your other options.
