Vitamins are needed for your body to function as God decrees. Lacking in certain vitamins such as vitamin A (vitamin A itself, not it’s derivatives) has found to be causes of acne. Remember that excess vitamins will become toxic in your body. (well, except vitamin C which will be passed out as expensive urine) Since vitamins in our body work synergistically, taking too much in any particular one will cause deficiency for another.
Thus, it is important to balance your vitamins intake in your body. Out of all the vitamins, vitamin A is the perhaps the most popular one since accutane (the most powerful medication for acne ever invented) is a derivative of it.
Vitamin A Studies have shown that most severe acne patients are deficient in vitamin A. Vitamin A works by rejuvenating tissue renewal on our skin. This means that they help to remove dead skin cells on pores. Dead skin cells on pores can easily clog pores and thus, block sebum from releasing, and finally acne is formed. Vitamin A also help to reduce sebum production, that is why Accutane shuts off the sebum production which totally closes any chances of acne forming. Do not take more than 10,000 IU of vitamin A daily, too much is toxic to your body. Good sources of vitamin A are cod liver oil, grass fed butter and vegetables.
Vitamin B Vitamin B is essential to maintain body functions and similarly to maintain clear skin tone. As with all vitamins, excess only becomes toxic, and excess doesn’t help your body any matter, it is just wasting the vitamin. Vitamin B complex should be taken because if you take a huge dosage on just one kind of Vitamin B, you could be lacking in the others types of Vitamin B.
Vitamin C Vitamin C, the most well known vitamin to everyone. It is an antioxidant which reduces free radicals from the body. Free radicals is something that cause skin damage any other skin problems like wrinkles, acne etc. Vitamin C also cleanses your body by detoxifying toxins and by this, helps to cut some slack to the liver to let it focus its attention on regulating hormone levels. When the hormonal levels are more stable, sebum production is also more normal and not flooding the face.
The amount of vitamin C taken a day sould be 500mg or 1000mg. At least 500mg a day is recommended.
Vitamin E Most of you will know vitamin E for its relation to the skin and that it can treat scars. Some people do have success of reducing their scars with vitamin E but some didn’t too. In fact, there is no rock solid medical prove to state that vitamin E reduces scars.
The good thing about vitamin E is that it is an anti-oxidant which reduces free radicals just like vitamin C, supports cardiovascular health, improves blood circulation (important), and general condition of skin. A recommended daily intake for vitamin E is 30IU.
