Supplements for Acne Treatment

Good quality multivitamins and minerals have been very helpful in the reduction, controlling and treatment of acne. Here is a selection of the major vitamins, minerals and natural herbs and their role in controlling and treating acne and acne outbreaks.

  • Vitamin A - It has been proved that a lack of vitamin A in your diet can cause whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and boils. However it is important to build your vitamin A intake gradually since a large consumption of vitamin A can have undesirable effects on your acne.

  • Vitamin B - The B vitamins are known for their ability to counteract the effects of high stress levels. Since acne and stress are somewhat interlinked, a consumption of vitamin B is highly recommended for effective acne treatment.

  • Vitamin C - Vitamin C is not only good for strengthening the immune system but also for fighting infection. This makes it vital in combating an acne infection.

  • Vitamin D - This vitamin can be obtained by moderate exposure to sunlight. This does not mean spending hours in the sun with the hope of reducing and treating acne. Prolonged exposure to sunlight damages the skin and causes early wrinkling.

  • Vitamin E - Vitamin E is considered an antioxidant that helps to maintain a healthy immune system and indirectly helps to prevent acne outbreaks.

  • Chasteberry - (Vitex agnus-castus) are the ripe berries of the chaste tree which is a shrub that is indigenous to European countries. This herb is used to treat hormonal imbalances which could be causing the acne.

  • Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) - This is a form of sulphur combined with an antioxidant mineral which can be absorbed by the body and has beneficial effects on the skin.

  • Milk Thistle - This component is vital in the protection and improvement of the liver making it more efficient. This efficiency in elimination and detoxification helps to lesson the burden on the skin. This helps to reduce the chances of further acne outbreaks.

  • Zinc - Zinc is a widely used mineral that improves the immune system and reduces inflammations. Both these qualities are important to treat existing acne outbreaks and prevent future ones.
