Acne Program – Step 10: Vitamin and Mineral Supplements You Should Be Taking

Vitamins

Below is a list of vitamins and minerals that will help you treat an acne problem.

* A 25-250mg B6, packed in a B vitamin complex

* A daily dose of 500 – 1000 mg of B5 pantothenic acid

* A quantity of 50,000 IU of water soluble Vitamin A taken before meals (consult your doctor for approval)

* A buffer of 1000mg of Vitamin C, three time a day

* 400IU of Vitamin E 400 IU to be taken before meals twice a day

A cautionary note about Vitamin A: You should never take more than 50,000 units a day. Anything above 50,000 can be dangerous and might lead to side-effects. If you start to feel unpleasant symptoms scale your dose down to 25,000 units.

Minerals
Below is a list of the important minerals that you will need to take to rid yourself of acne.

* A complex of Calcium Hydroxyapatite in tablet form after each meal.

*200 – 500 ugm or micrograms of Chromium per day

* Mineral electrolytes

* 25 – 60 mg of Zinc gluconate per day (It is important to make sure that zinc makes part of your daily nutrient intake in your diet). Zinc reduces the hormone dihyrdrotestosterone (DHT) which is often a problem to acne prone skins when produced in excess. You should not exceed 100 mg without seeking medical advice.

A cautionary note: Once you have reached success with your acne treatment you can stop taking these supplements and return to your normal daily mineral supplement program. You do not want to offset your own body’s natural balance of vitamins and minerals as any chemical imbalances that result from continual use of high dosages might be toxic and detrimental to your overall health.

Other Supplements
In addition to the minerals and vitamins you should be taking to treat acne, there are at least seven other supplements that will help you get the most of your acne treatment regimen. Oxygen Element plus, Systemic and Digestive Enzymes, Electrolyte Minerals, Flax Seed Oil, Lecithin and a combination Lemon and Chlorophyll are supplements that can rid you of your acne they also have a positive effect on your immune system.

Oxygen Elements Plus (the only nutrient this article discusses)
Oxygen is essential for keeping your skin free of impurities and acne causing bacteria. You get about 10-20% more oxygen from a product such as Oxygen Elements Plus going into your blood. This is where you can get Oxygen Plus. The “Plus” means that there are minerals and other nutrients added to the product to boost its efficacy.

For your body to function as it should, you need a steady supply of oxygen which might not be present sufficiently in the air that your breath. Any increase in oxygen levels in your blood increases the overall health of your body and hence, your skin.

How much oxygen your body actually has going to the cells it needs to get to depends on things like the levels of acids in your body, waste products that aren’t related to food ingested and pathogens. These three things thrive on the oxygen that is needed elsewhere by your body. The more you have of these the less oxygen you have to deal with your body’s needs and to ensure an acne free face. It is important therefore to keep your body free of toxins as much as you can.
