5 Best Supplements For Clear Skin
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 09. 2017
- My skin has become far less reactive the last few years due to some changes I've made to my skincare routine and my diet. Taking vitamins and minerals to supplement my diet where I've been deficient has helped lower inflammation and hormonal response noticeably. For a long time now, I've been seeking more holistic treatments rather than just treating symptoms or damage control. When my skin is reacting, it's symptomatic of imbalance in my health. This video highlights the 5 supplements I believe have helped not just my physical well-being but have had a big impact on the inflammation in my skin. I will also explain why I avoid popular supplements like Evening Primrose Oil. Again, we are all built differently and this is what has helped me. All these supplements were recommended to me by a Dr. I suggest you get the approval of a medical professional before taking any supplement. Enjoy, my skinthusiast family!
Oh and I do take these vitamins daily but at different times as some require an empty stomach while others are better taken with food.

We have a saying in Hungarian "one can look at the sun but not at her" meaning that you are so beautiful you shine brighter than the sun and that comes to my mind whenever I see you .
Tímea Tarjányi We have the same saying in Romanian 😊! And I agree, Renee is so beautiful, elegant, she is in a class of her own (I can only compare her with Lisa Eldridge, whom I also love)! And of course very intelligent and articulate, which is a rare occurrence on social media...
Tímea Tarjányi What a beautiful saying!
Omg. Your comment has given me goosebumps it's so beautiful and I'm so touched. I always love when you comment but this, I will always remember! Thank you, my love for giving me the feels, I can't even! 💗
You are just too kind to me! Thank you for just putting me in the same sentence as the exquisite Lisa.
I agree. There is so much fake and self-serving on youtube. Renee is refreshing!
You are one of the rare gems here in CZcams. I love the scientific approach you do when you talk about skincare. You saved my skin so much Renée, you also saved me lots of money because of you I don't even have to visit my dermatologist. I will surely take these supplements. Thank you so much Renée, love ya!
Thank you Kookie! 😁
I should be the one to thank you😊
Tati's halo Hair Skin and Nails vitamin has been so amazing for my skin and it's hydration, supplness. No breakouts. Im glowing! One of many things that is different about this vitamin is the inclusion of ceramides. Skin changing!
A very no-nonsense, informative and measured approach to skincare! No random hype products or anything, which can be a little hard to find nowadays. Subbed!
Thank you Caitlin!
Hi Renée, I just want to thank you for sharing this information. I have had hormonal acne on my chin for years and what worried me more than the cosmetic factor of dealing with breakouts was the fact that my body was trying to tell me something was wrong and I didn't know how to help it. No topical product made any lasting difference, and neither did spironolactone. But for the past month or so I have avoided most dairy and taken a hair/nails supplement, zinc, omega 3, and vitamin B, and my skin improved almost immediately! I used to get a giant, angry zit at least once per week and I've had a total of two zits in the past month, both of which faded back into my skin as you have described happening to you. I also look forward to drinking matcha daily (what a delicious and nourishing way to treat acne!). I'm truly so thankful that I found your channel and that you have shared your personal journey towards skin health so openly. Obviously everyone's root cause of acne varies but I think mine was very similar to yours and now you've actually changed my life. My whole body just feels happier. Thank you thank you!!
I never comment on CZcams videos, but I feel like I have to thank you for your videos. They are so easy to understand and very comprehensive. Before buying anything for my skin I always look for your videos beforehand. Please continue!
I really love this Renée! These are the exact supplements my family are taking to support overall health! For us, it's not only great for the skin but also for gut health to help IBS, new allergies and fatigue symptoms. I'm so happy that you are sharing this and more people can be aware how they can support not only their skin but also their overall health!
I remember when Renee's channel had just about 70K subscribers, and now it's over 200K! Congrats, Renee, you truly deserve it!
Had acne all my life. Tried everything under the sun...topically and internally. REMOVE GLUTEN. Acne gone.
The Visionary my friend did it this way too. Her acne was worse than mine and now it’s flawless. If you see this, can you possibly give me an average meal plan for the day for yourself?
Maybe that’s because you’re gluten intolerant
Same for me but with dairy instead!
@@Paramount884 UPDATE PLS
@@sittiemaimonahabuat4429 Oh hi, tbh I spoke too soon with that comment hahaha my acne came back not long after going off gluten. But I've been using acne.org's bp gel for like 3 months and I'm completely clear. Only thing that's ever worked and I've tried everything under the sun
Words just can't describe how thankful I am to have found you and your channel! 😍❤
Miki xo i agree
Thank you for finding me!
I suffered from hormonal acne for years. Last year I was recommended to take a supplement called DIM . I stared taking it and New zits stopped appearing and my face was completely clear after one month. Love all the information you provide. I feel like I learn something new every time I watch your videos!
Nawras Sattar|قناة نونو مداأصدك 😅 .. نورس .. شلونج ❤
Hi! Can u tell me where u bought the DIM please
Nawras Sattar|قناة نونو DIM?
I tried DIM and had no improvement 😕. Different things for different people, unfortunately I haven’t found mine yet.
Same.
This was so informative and easy to understand. I was especially happy to hear about vitamin d3 and omega 3 VS 6. I have all over full body inflammation and this make things make more sense to me. I love watching your videos.
Renée, I have never previously commented on a CZcams video, however, after having subscribed & watched your channel for a few months I, too, just had to let you know how grateful I am to have found you!
Your elegance, wonderful personable demeanour, and knowledge of science based skincare is breath of fresh air! Please always continue to do what you do ❤️
Aw Sarah, this means so much to me! Thank you for commenting, as someone who isn't a 'commenter' myself, I can really appreciate the gesture. Thank you for the love girl!
Gothamista I’m so happy to see your reply! You are most welcome and you’re such a sweetheart 💕
I just love the way you talk - every sentence you say just seems to be clear and perfect and intelligent somehow... and your voice is great
Thank you Maddie!
Literally taking notes while this woman is talking. I'm 32 years old, doesnt use sun screen, sleep and nutrition deprived . In Philippines, even middle class working women are not properly educated in skin and overall health care. Will need to change my overall diet and life style. Subscribed!
Hi Renee, you are so elegant and beautiful here! My condolences on what happened with your dad. I'm sure he's proud of you for the kind of person you've grown into. Stay strong!
Also, I want to thank you for creating this great channel. I have been getting so many compliments about my skin and it was all hard earned work and research and your channel was the only one I can rely on for solid advice. Thank you so much renee. I dont now you personally but from your channel I can tell that you are an amazing person and so generous for sharing what you know. I dont feel the need to consult a Derma because i have learned to "listen" to mys skin and your advice from your channel is top on my very short list.
Take care always renee. You have a big fan base here in the philippines!
As a Med student, we were advised by our professors to not prescribe zinc for more than three month. It is absorbed with the same carrier that also transports iron or copper. That means while taking zinc supplements, you might get deficient in iron or other micronutrients that use the same carrier in your intestine because the carriers are "blocked" by zinc. An exception here is obviously if a patient has an actual deficiency in zinc.
MsJB93 that is so interesting. What about magnesium for non deficient people, taken for bruxism?
Thank you for this information!
Thanks for the information
MsJB93 I've had a Zinc deficiency for over a year. I've tried many different types of zinc but my blood results don't change. It's so frustrating !!!!!!!!
I wish you could elaborate more on this comment about zinc. Sounds like it's not something people should be taking all the time.
Renee I must say u r very soft spoken and ur videos are very educational and informative.
yes Vit D & calcium helps regulate sebum too. Also people with dry often lack in vit A
Very comprehensive video. Great job!
A timely video, thanks again Renee
I suffered from acne too every time . Took tons of supplements just like you mentioned and it does helped to control my acne but then again it will pops up. We all have different skin types and how our body reacts to supplements , observe and listen to your body. For me I cleared my skin by :
1. Exercise : more on cardio ( the best detox is when you sweat )
2. Avoiding nuts ( if you have allergies from it )
3. Limit dairy products
4. Avoiding sugary and processed foods
5. Excessive salt intake
6. Supplements - zinc , probiotics
7. Good skin care ( know ur skin type)
Thank you Renee, incredibly clear, concise and educational as always. You are awesome!!
I'm so glad I found you! I've watched so many of your videos now and feel so informed. You are a light! Thank you Thank you you thank you!
Thank you Silvia!
Your skin looks AMAZING, it just looks more beautiful in every video!! I recommend your channel to everyone I know. So they can educate themselves about their skin and skincare. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!🦋
You are a sweetheart!
I do the same! I'm a skincare junkie so I'm always on other skincare channels spreading the word about/recommending Renee's channel😍
Have been taking Omega 3 and Vitamin B6 every single day, thanks for the enlightenment about D and Zinc! Didn't know Zinc is so cool :)
Love your videos. You’re very informative and knowledgeable. I truly appreciate that.
Here immediately as always. You are awesome. I take omega 3 and evening primrose but will do more research on the primrose. I had terrible hormonal acne but lost weight, changed my diet, and added supplements and even though I am still oily, I have not seen as much as a pimple in five years. I am a 55 year old very fair black woman who skin is completely clear, even toned and I don’t have a fine line or wrinkle on my face. Genectics and ethnicity are big players but my skin routine is serious and consistent and I see a dermatologist 2x yearly without fail. Good skin takes a commitment but the things need to do, especially in your day to day lifestyle are just good overall. I love your videos and your approach to beauty. I never miss a video!!
Warrior Protocol what brand of omega3 and EPO that you consume? I've consume omega3 3in1 from nature's health for metabolism and just realized it containt EPO 400mg and a bit scared abs the effect.
hi renee! i think this is my favorite video of yours that you have ever posted. i liked that you thoroughly did your research on the supplements instead of just taking them for their claims :)
Thank you Tiffany! Science can make lots of claims but if they don't work and break me out, then it's no good
I love how informative your videos are and you are so beautiful 💕
I had the same experience with eve primrose oil. Thabk you for sharing. So many of us learn through YEARS and decades if trial and error and then every new stage seems to bring another challenge. Hugs from MN!
I'm here to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the information you provided in this video. I related to your story and I was just getting off the pill when I watched this. I tried stopping the pill once and I had awful hormonal imbalance and breakouts like I never had in my life. Ended up going back to the pill. One day I decided to stop no matter the consequences, I watched this video and after some additional research, bought all the 5 supplements you indicated. I swear my skin changed completely in 2 days. The breakouts that were starting to appear in my jawline and chin disappeared. I still have an oily face but is much more controlled and is probably something natural for my genetics that the pill was holding back. Still, I don't have the red, inflamed breakouts I was afraid of. I have glowy, healthy skin. Thank you!!!
You're skin glows and looks hydrated!
As a hormonal acne sufferer, this couldn't come at the perfect time. I am loving your videos Renee. Its very informative and well reaearched. Keep up the good work!! :)
Thank you Julie!
Wise, confident, and beautiful inside and out- you are an inspiration for all women. Thank you for this informative video & I'm glad I found your channel.
I'm so thankful your channel exist, you have no idea!
Thank you!!! You made me understand so much
Thanks for your Information✌ you look so flawless and I love how you speak👏
nobody ever told you that you look like Gabriel union, you have beautiful skin, thank you for all your videos
I take cordyceps and reishi supplements, and ginseng! But I'm definitely adding ALL of these thanks Renee, you are my absolute favorite person to watch. I tell everyone about you (everyone I'm talking skincare with).
I always love how informative you are!
Thank you Mary!
Yay! I was just putting supplements in my cart and your video helped me refine my choices! Thank you Renee 😬
This is an amazing video. You are awesome as always, Renee!
Im so glad you mentioned a disclaimer about these. People should proceed with caution. I kept trying out probiotics in my protein powder and realized my body just doesnt like probiotics, i get really sick and have crazy gut pains from them. However my body loves fish oil and my doctor has recommended me take Vitamin D. So everyone is different. Please consult a doctor and listen to your body before blindly taking all of these :))
Pickled vegetables and kombucha are also a good source of pro biotics. Generally fermented stuff is healthy and should be part of a diet.
does kevita kombucha count? (flavored kombucha)
yes it does! i can only drink the flavoured kind otherwise it's just too sour.
I love kimchi and sauerkraut!
Gothamista Omg you answered me thank you! :) I like kimchi too❤️
alice333 definitely gonna take on this advice... Never been fascinated by pickled foods.. 😂
I’ve suffered hormonal acne for many years did a lot of research, started taking Glutathione as my supplement, have more vegetables and avoid sugar, dairy etc.... it works!!!
Collagen also
me too
Glutathione is very dangerous whether ingested internally or applied topically
@@itsjustme3913 why is that seen alot of reviews about the benefits. Have you had any negative experience? Just bought the liposmal gluthathione
Iyenemi Whyte no. I’ve never used it because I’ve seen doctors saying negative things about it. Glutathione is a brightening/whitening agent and that’s why dermatologists prescribe it for their patients who have acne scars and severe hyperpigmentation. There’s a % that’s safe and that’s why it’s only a doctor prescribed thing.
Buying it over the counter, is very dangerous therefore I wouldn’t recommend it. As for the one you’ve just bought, go see a doctor and let them tell you whether it’s safe or not. Better safe than sorry
Thank you for sharing this. Love the way you speak.
You are a great model for 5 Best Supplements For Clear Skin. Very good point on finding the root cause. Thanks, cheers and have a wonderful week ahead.
I did not know that about probiotics! Thanks for the informative info :D
Turmeric supplements and they have definitely reduced my acne significantly ! Can't wait to try the Zinc and balanced b complex
Sourkraut for the win! Thank you for an amazing video
I am trying the mens version of the probiogen probiotic, thank you for giving the explanation of the "look-fors" and how even though there is a lower count of bacteria, the survival rate is much higher. I actually understand!
I take Magnesium + Zinc for a good boost to my immune system and I just find that it really works for me, helps with energy levels and stress. Also, I used to take Biotin for hair (stopped now, but want to go back to it) and some Fountain Molecules from deciem! I'm currently loving the Geek Molecule and I quite enjoyed the Beauty Molecule, but seen more results from the Geek one.
Thank you for the video! You look great, as always!
You’re absolutely right. I personally take zinc, probiotics in food (i.e. kimchi, sauerkraut, pickled olives), D3+ K2, b-complex, vegan omega 3, and glutathione and my skin is FLAWLESS!
But kimchi is spicy is that okay ? And u buy kimchi at supermarket or you do it yourself?
Good to know. I started taking supplements a few months ago ( the ones you mentioned and more ) and I do notice a difference on my skin. My acne has almost completely disappeared. Hopefully in the near future I can finally see my skin back to its healthy self.
Just found your channel. Coincidentally I started taking probiotics and I can already tell a difference in my skin, which was an added bonus. Binge watching your channel this weekend!
I was just taking all of these (minus the Omega 3) because I had a cold and I needed to boost my immune system. My skin started to look better, but then I stopped taking the vitamins when I got over my cold. Now my skin is back to its normal acne-riddled self. Oh well, at least it all makes sense now. Thank you for such an informative video! I’m going to go take some vitamins now.
Thank you for always sharing your knowledge about how to take care of our skin, you really helped me a lot. God bless you always! ❤️
I am a in my mid 50's and I still grow acne....
Thank you so much for all these informations.
I think l am gonna love mirrors again.... :)
Hello there! Thank you so much for this information. I know some of them but you clarified very well . 🤗😊
This video was so helpful and inspiring
Love it
More videos like these that could help me better my skin and hair
Great video! I take most of those supplements too and in addition to these I take pycnogenol and tumeric.
I agree with all of those supplements, however I would also add a gelatin/collagen supplement. Or one can just consume bone broth. It gives you THE most amazing glow! :)
bone broth is everything!!
But how much collagen dosage per day is recommended?
@@sabbykohli im responding from my experience. i take vitamin c, which has collagen in it. my vit c dosage is 300mg
@@sabbykohli what i heard you cant take it more than 1000mg and above
I heard you get that from meat though? Or is it different than the pill
Thank God I found you...genuine is just
Rene lots of love ❤️❤️❤️❤️ so blessed that I found your channel ! For hormonal Acne I also take L- Lysine as a supplement ( on top of the vitamin B, probiotic, and zinc that you are taking) ! Not many talks about it around but it actually has help me a lot ! Ohhhh and a tablespoon of gelatine powder on daily basis.... honestly I think it had the most amazing effect on my skin elasticity. I put it in my Matcha tea in the morning since it’s tasteless and odourless .
This was wonderful. With the exception of vitamin B, I take all of those as well as evening primrose oil (as suggested by my dermatologist) and Magnesium - which helps not only with skin concerns but also preventatively against depressive symptoms due to pms or predisposal. High impact exercise also leads me to take Glucosamine & Chondroitine for joint care. I used to also take dr. Brandt’s green tea concentrate before it was discontinued. I really really miss it, as I am sensitive to caffeine and that product was decaffeineted and highly concentrated, meaning you would get a much larger dose of green tea than you could possibly drink in a day. If you can recommend an alternative I would be grateful! 🙏
I love your content! New subbie :)
Thank you so much for this great tutorial!!!
Wonderful! Informative and enlightening video. Thanks for sharing!
Are those dimples omg. How cute
D 3 bcomplex fish oil collagen [
I currently take a women’s multivitamin, zinc, vitamin c, evening primrose oil, probiotics, and milk thistle which i hear is great for removing toxins that lead to acne☺️ I have also read that chlorella and spirulina are great as well
glowingmyway and was it effective for you?
How does she look younger in every video! Awesome video as always!Thank you very much! Life style change and proper "diet" are life changing, food is medicine. Thank you very much for your wealth of knowledge and for sharing it with us🌺You da bomb💎
Haha you are soo sweet!
Would love a more updated version if there’s any other vitamins you now use / work better!
I think Zinc also (and this is so crudely simplified) helps regulate one's insulin, which is also a sex hormone that directly interacts/moderates other sex hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and androgens :) that's the summarized tid-bit I got from a doctor who explained it way more eloquently than I can.
Hi thank you so much for this video :) how can I know if am lacking Zinc, other vitamins,probiotics and Omega3? What test should I do?
Thanks again
I've been taking the Bluebonnet Zinc supplement everyday since you posted this video and I think it has made a difference! I developed acne a few years ago due to the Paragard IUD. I had it in for two years and all of a sudden I had terrible acne along my jawline. I eventually figured out it developed because the copper in the IUD was overriding my zinc levels and had it removed. After I had it removed, two weeks later all my acne was gone, but I was left with scars. It's been two years since I've had it removed and slowly but surely with diligent skincare, it's almost gone. All I have left is some pigmentation, but I think the zinc has really helped with all this so I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! :)
Wow this was very helpful thank you so much for such detailed information!
i took zinc when i was 19 years old and it helped a TON, seriously try it out. it's also inexpensive
How many mg a day? :)
Kylie Smith how much and for how long please
Kylie Smith whats brand your zinc supplement you consume? And whats dosage?
I take 50 mg a day with 1200 mg of fish oil. Also apply aloe vera gel and my acne is not even 5% as bad as it used to be. I would feel uncomfortable even taking my shirt off but now its not even an issue
Hi My dear Renne, one of your oldest quiet subscriber, have been watching you and so happy to see you with two hundred thousand over subscribers which you truly deserve and much more, you are simply the best n beautiful too; Thank you for sharing your supplements as always a great video, Bee 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍
Hey Bee! Thank you for always being so supportive and lovely!
I love your top! Where is it from!? It showcases your nice skin so perfectly.
Yaayyeeee I LOVE HUM!! I love that you use them!
Please update - its 2017 - now its 2019 . Thanks in anticipation
I LOLed at "and for once, we're not talking about sunscreen." 😂
This was so informative, you break everything down so well I can keep up with all the ingredients you're talking about. Could you talk about witch hazel? So many rave about it, but I'm skeptical about all the benefits. Thank you!
Great video and suggestions. Thanks for sharing
Hi Rene. Thank you for this information-packed video. I am struggling with hormonal acne on my chin since early twenties ( I am in my early 30s now). After going to numerous dermatologists and trying numerous pills and creams I am ready for a different, more holistic approach. I have been so disappointed with all the "professionals" in the field thus far. I live in NYC as well, and was wondering if you would share contacts for your Dr of Integrative and functional medicine.
Best thing is yo feed your gut bacteria with fruit/ veggie in the form Of smoothies really feeds gut bacteria ☺
Evening primrose oil works better for mood.
Evening primrose oil has helped my acne and also helped make my formerly irregular monthly cycle regular 😌
I have a lot of freckles/sun spots on my arms (due to many years of sun exposure). Can you do a video on how to get rid of that? I love your videos. They are so informative.
Thank you for making this video.
When do you take them though? All together at once?
I use vitamin c, glutathione, milk thistle & evening prime rose oil
And I bet you rarely get sick right? N-acetylcysteine is amazing! (Glutathione)
I'd love to see a "what I eat in a day " video !
I went to a holistic practitioner too for help with my hormonal acne and period :)
I was set to take vitamin E that helped a lot with boosting progesterone, however with time, I've felt that it has lost its effect somewhat when it comes to keeping down skin-inflammation. I also supplement daily with flax/chia/hemp seeds. ALA is really good for hormonal health, and there's a misconception that it's somewhat difficult for the body to convert to DHA and EPA, but in fact, women have a much better conversion rate than men (because men don't need it as much as women) and there's really no problem as long as you get your daily requirement or above of ALA's in (and don't have any digestive issues). But everyone's got different lifestyles, and sometimes when I travel I find it hard to get my daily requirement of omega 3/ALA and been contemplating getting an algae-based supplement.
I've recently started taking Evening Primrose oil for the GLA, and though it's omega 6, because I'm getting so much omega 3 in anyways I haven't noticed any adverse effect. Actually, it's working quite the same as vitamin E did when I first started taking it, and I'm only taking like 500mg! :D
I've been also taking L-opti zinc with copper (important that your zinc supplement has copper as these rival each other!) based on my doctors recommendations. But to tell you the truth, it did almost nothing for my skin o.O My skin has actually been better since I finished the bottle :| I don't know if it's the brand I was taking? I do try to fill up with lots of zinc foods, so maybe I was getting too much? Either way, I'll keep testing.
I also was recommended a b-complex. When I took it everyday I got a build up and experienced severe anxiety which took a few weeks to calm down after I stopped taking them. Now I only take them occasionally without any side effects. But overall, haven't noticed much with my hormones or skin. I do get plenty of B6 through diet, the only b-vitamin that sometimes faulter is B3 and of course B12 as I'm vegan. And of course I take vitamin D, it's the most prominant thing that has had any effect on my hormones when I stopped taking it. Probiotics I go back and forth on, ever since I fixed my gut issues, probiotics don't seem to have any effect on my well being whatsoever. Okay, this was long ^^ I'll stop now! Thanks for another informative video! xx
Will you pleeease do a review onThe Beauty Chef powders??
As always your videos are so informative, timely and draw attention to a "wholistic" approach to beautiful skin and health. I've taken supplements my whole life and I work in natural health and ingredients are my thing etc. I will mention one thing, Zinc is great but it depletes copper (good for skin) so you want to look for zinc supplements that contain copper. They are available. I also like BCAA's (yes, for sports guys but so much good stuff) and I am a huge fan of L Glutamine. Agree on the EPO, you breakout....for a while. Then it should stabilize. But its really tricky. Borage oil is great for skin as is Sea Buckthorn. Probiotics are good and I live in Canada so I take a brand called Bio K (rice version, not dairy) and it's fermented 50 billion. Just make sure to take your Vit D with fats (fat soluble) and Vitamin B & C can be taken anytime (water soluble.) I love love Mega Foods and I take the Balanced B. Because it's Food State, its so easy to digest and can be taken on an empty stomach. I think food state vitamins are pretty great overall to be honest. Sorry for the long note ladies....
This was extremely helpful. Thank you so much!
Rena! Thank you for all this wonderful and super helpful information! I love it, you're the best!
Rena Dempsey hi! Not real sure about the 'copper'. Bcs i want to start consume zinc (picolinate) 20mg a day to reduce my breakout, is that ok or shud i adding other supplement to balance it?
Extremely helpful!
You give so beautiful tips for people i m very happy for that thank You🙏🏼
After seeing several youtubers recommend zinc to help with acne, I began taking that Bluebonnet 50mg zinc supplement. Eventually after taking it every day for a couple of weeks, I began feeling sicker and sicker. I could not get thru the day without multiple naps. I finally became concerned when I began vomiting due to extreme nausea a few times a day maybe once or twice a week At first I thought it was from not taking with food but it happened WITH food as well! Long story short (too late), 50mg is a pretty high dose of zinc. It was too much for me apparently and I've been fine ever since stopping. Just throwing that out there, because it took me months and a lot of torment to figure out what was happening. Definitely be cautious with these things. 😉
Casey W. 50 mg is what skindoctors prescribe When you have extremely bad acne but and here comes a Big but mine said that many people cant tolerate more than 15 to 25 so she recommended starting out high and then going lower and divide it up in two doses lunch and dinner and take it with food always plus also do it in cures ie 3 months stop give it 2-3 months start again . So unfortunatly much more complicated than you might Think and as you’ve noticed to much and not divided and you Will get as sick as a dog
Was it Zinc depot or regular?
...But was your skin clear?
@@jaritamccully3797 the important question haha
Too much zinc, about 40 or more mgs everyday, will lower copper and make you'll feel sick. We need some copper.
I have PCOS and suffer from hormonal acne. I visited a gynecologist and asked if there was anything I could do to help regulate my cycles after they were messed up by the pill (and of course my acne had came back). He suggested I take a supplement called Inofert, which contains inositol (a vitamin B) and folic acid. He said it would help regulate my cycles and also work great on my hormonal acne. I also read online it really helped other people like me. Well, that didn't go as planned! Although it worked wonders on my cycle, from the third day of taking it I started breaking out on my forehead (which I never did before, I mostly break out on my cheeks and chin). After taking them for about 2 months, my skin was so bad I could not believe it. It kinda looked like cystic acne because it was inflamed and would hurt so much!! My skin was at its worst (plus it was summer and the sun and heat did not help at all). I cried every day. When I stoped taking it, my skin slowly came back to normal, but with lots of hyperpigmentation left. So you should always consider that just because something helps some people, it may not work for you as well
Look into Organic Olivia's Parapro supplement. I've had severe hormonal acne for years and have even been on Accutane and that's the only thing that helped me along with taking a probiotics and lysine like she suggests. She's on CZcams
Lena Chatz I heard B vitamins in general break people out. Idk why though
Thank you for the information everyone!
Ella Schroth i was super curious about her supplements! I got weirded out and felt like it was a little pseudo sciencie and it's kind of expensive so got scared away. Also wasn't sure if it would really help a mere mortal like me since my diet isn't amazing and I don't really exercise. How long did it take for you to start seeing results?
Laura Shible this is great! I will give this a try, I hope everything goes well for you :)
Very helpful, thank you so much. Nice video.
I have been searching for a great probiotic, thank you so much for your research and recommendation 😊💛
