Pinging Susan

Susan, do you have any insight into my VAP results? I seem to recall you
had researched that some.

NOT pantothenic acid, it MUST be PANTETHINE, usually 300 mg 3x per day.

Interesting that they are alternate forms of vitamin B5 yet they
have such different results. Doctor Atkins recommended B-5
for heart health - When my Dad had heart surgery at age 75 I
started taking 500 mg of B-5 and I thought it was a lot. Not a
lot compared to this 900 mg. I'll check which version I'm taking
but I don't think it matters as such for my use as a preventative
for heart health.

Dr. Atkins recommended and manufactured pantethine, 450 mg, the only
such product with that dosage and now it's gone.

600mg : http://www.netrition.com/now_pantethine.html

Too high.

At least with the 300 mg, you could get to the 900 per day recco.

Maybe you could take two caps one day, and one the next? Like, one
cap every 16 hours? Breakfast, supper, lunch the next day, etc?

Better than just not taking it at all.

Thanks Susan for the advice applied to using it as a
preventative for heart health. I checked and the type I
have been taking is pantothenic acid not pantethine.
I will get pantethine the next time I'm at a vitamin
specialty place and switch.
