Zinc and acne - what is the relationship?

April 26th, 2008 by admin

When I was younger, I enjoyed taking my children’s vitamins because they were shaped like cartoon characters and tasted fruity! As I grew older, I felt bombarded by all the different types of vitamins that were supposed to help my body in any number of ways. I certainly can’t take them all, so which ones are the MOST beneficial? If you suffer from acne, there is new research that shows a relationship between zinc and acne. Zinc is a mineral that occurs naturally in many different kinds of food. Some say that zinc, in perfect balance with its co-factors, can regulate hormone levels, therefore controlling oil production. Less oil, less acne!
