I take high doses of pantothenic acid (B5). You should take the d-calcium pantotnenate form. This comes in powder form or as tables which can be timed release. The other common form (pantothenic acid) can give me the runs if I take too much.

B5 helps your adrenals to make cortisol. I think it may help with blood sugar. It is called the anti-stress vitamin.

I had a blood sugar problem before I started taking higher doses of B5; I don't have one now. It is known for helping to digest fats, protein and carbs.

I also take another form. Jarrow is the only source I know of for pantethine.

Its also know for helping with co-enzyme A which is about energy.

It is considered useful for acne, but like the other poster said so are other things like zinc.

I don't take inositol but have heard it helps with OCD issues. I've never heard of that form. I wish I could help you with that but I think I just learned of a new form of inositol.

You should consult with your doctor about these nutrients.
