Am I Doing Too Much? (Little Shed Panic)

magic - Did you take it on an empty stomach? I ask because some people seem to have this reaction when consuming brewers yeast on an empty stomach.

The way to remedy it is to just take a bit of food before taking the brewers yeast, and/or start out with a small dose then build up from there. Starting with a small dose and building up from there would probably minimise any herxheimer reaction as well.

yes, i have this vice of taking everything on an empty stomach and never following the labels... same thing with vitamins from the B-family: instant nausea.

In that case you use more information related to topic so it will be helpful for all.

Fred, and others if u can assist....

Which parts of ur regime do u think reduce sebum, and oil from being excreted in the scalp, or from being not even created in the first place, other than diet.

vit A? and .....

i want to reduce mine.

thanx.

Really Vitamin A, and only vitamin A for the most part. Take 30000 to 50000 IU in the beginning, then reduce the dosage.

Vitamin B5: I take only one pill now (reduced from half since yesterday): 500 mg a day, I don't think it will do anything for sebum as acne sufferers take up to 10g! But I trust my B5, I've never shed either under it, but I was afraid it hindered my regrowth, I don't think it's the case.

B5 is sufficient at 1 g a day, if you combine it with 1 g of cysteine (http://elqalatawy.hubpages.com/hub/Try-The-New-Acne-Cure---Experimented-For-Years).

Quote from the above site:
"Administration of Cysteine is the only means by which we can reduce the dose of Pantothenic acid. I have recommended the combination of Pantothenic acid + Cysteine for many acne patients for more than 10 years with great results in curing acne.
Taking 0.5-1 grams of Cysteine per day reduces your intake of Pantothenic acid to only 1-1.5 grams per day (they will be combined)."
