HI, there. I wonder if you've ever heard about Dr. James F. Balch? He is a physician, a surgeon, a certified nutritional consultant and a leading authority on integrative medicine and nutritional healing. Dr Balch has written several books and co-authored two best-selling books that address a broad range of health concerns and their nutritional prescriptions.
Here is the list of supplements he recommends in his books that might be essential or very important for supporting the treatment and recovering of Acne:
Essential Fatty Acids (flaxseed oil): to supply essential gamma-linolenic acid. Needed to keep the skin smooth and soft, repair tissues, and dissolve fatty deposits that block pores. Also aids in healing.
Potassium (99 mg daily): Deficiency has been associated with acne.
Vitamin A (5000 IU daily to 25,000IU): to strengthen the protective epithelial (skin) tissue.
Vitamin B Complex (100mg of each): important for healthy skin tone.
Vitamin C with bioflavonoids (1000 mg 3 times daily): promotes immune function and reduces inflammation.
Vitamin E (400IU): an antioxidant that enhances healing and tissue repair.
Zinc: aids in healing of tissue and helps to prevent scarring.
Garlic: destroys bacteria and enhances immune function.
Unless otherwise specified, the dosages recommended here are for adults. There is also customized formula includeing those nutrients above that can be taken in a bottle(Google Natural Treatment for Acne with Vitamins Supplements!)
