Multivitamins are one of the most popular supplements purchased by the
general public. Vitamins are one of the first supplements acne sufferers tend to
buy. This is because they are widely available, and we all often assume that any
small sickness may be due to vitamin deficiency.
So what's the verdict on multivitamins and acne? Are they a required
supplement?
In my opinion, vitamins are one of the least useful supplements for acne
and can actually be not helpful for an acne sufferer. (Great, right? Saves
you some money!)
Let's talk about the first part. Multivitamins are not very helpful
because they aren't really fixing anything an acne sufferer is struggling
with. That is, the nutritional deficiencies of an acne sufferer have much
more to do with inadequate or incorrect fat consumption as well as the
consumption of bad foods such as refined sugars and other toxins added to
manufactured or prepared food.
Acne sufferers tend to not have much vitamin deficiency (Except for one,
see below).
The other problem is multivitamins are basically unnatural. Eating
vitamins outside of the foods they are found in is simply an unnatural thing
to do. The unfortunate thing is that the body often sees these vitamins as
toxic or useless to the body. Their actual absorption and utilization by the
body is certainly very low. The body was designed to extract vitamins from
the foods it eats, not to have processed vitamins in huge quantities enter
the body directly from a pill.
In general I would not really recommend taking them. They are really a
waste of money that could be put towards extremely high quality products
such as cod
liver oil or
supergreens
(excellent sources of real vitamins).
I also don't like that by taking a multivitamin you don't really know
which vitamin your body needs, which one it is having a reaction to, etc.
In addition, I don't like recommending people to obtain a shelf full of
supplements. This method just never works. And I think the multivitamin is
one of the useless ones. It also can make people think they are doing
something to help their skin when in reality a multivitamin isn't going to
do anything to help you get clear skin.
The one exception that I mentioned above is Zinc. Zinc has been found to
be low in nearly all acne sufferers. I recommend purchasing a Zinc only
supplement and taking 30-50mg a day with food. Getting a quality brand from
a company like Nature's Way is very important. You can see the whole article
