Acne Supplements and Organic Acne Curing Herbs




Acne is an ongoing problem through out America. While many have said there is no connection between diet and Acne, many have seen results by supplementing their daily diet with certain Herbs and Supplements. Below are a list of the best Acne Supplements that Elysium Organics and NatuCLEAR have experienced with great results. 

ACNE SUPPLEMENTS

Essential Fatty Acids:
Essential fatty acids are necessary for optimal health. However, the human body cannot produce the Omega-3 fatty acid which plays an important role in reducing the effects of acne. Thankfully, we can get Omega-3 from the foods we eat. If by chance, the smell and taste of fish and other Omega-3 products bother you, you can always rely on supplements.
• Cod Liver Oil (contains Vitamin A & D)
• Omega-3 Supplement

Vitamins & Minerals:
The following vitamins and minerals have been proven to reduce inflammation & skin oiliness, and repairing damaged tissue.
Remember when taking a multivitamin to check the product label to assure you’re receiving the recommended dosage of the following vitamins and minerals. Also, research, research, research when supplementing as some vitamins and minerals in high dosages can become toxic, so it’s vital to not exceed the recommended dosage:
• Vitamin-A:
10,000-15,000 IU DAILY (NOT BETA-CAROTENE). VITAMIN-A HELPS REDUCE SEBUM  (OIL ) PRODUCTION AND IS IMPORTANT IN MAINTAINING HEALTHY SKIN.
• Vitamin-B:
TAKE A B-COMPLEX SUPPLEMENT DAILY. B VITAMINS MAINTAIN HEALTHY SKIN AND MUSCLE TONE, PROMOTE CELL GROWTH, AND ENHANCE IMMUNE AND NERVOUS SYSTEM FUNCTION.
• Vitamin-C:

• Vitamin-D:

• Vitamin-E:
400 IU DAILY. VITAMIN-E BOOSTS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CERTAIN ENZYMES NEEDED FOR HEALTHY SKIN AND ENHANCES THE ABSORPTION OF VITAMIN-A & SELENIUM.
• Zinc:

400 MCG DAILY. CHROMIUM AIDS IN GLUCOSE TOLERANCE WHICH IS ESPECIALLY BENEFICIAL FOR THOSE WITH SUGAR-INDUCED ACNE.
• Selenium:

Herbs:
Elysium Organics and NatuCLEAR are advocates for the use of herbs. We love being organic and natural, since out bodies are made of the same earth . Back in the day, various herbs have been used for their restorative or medicinal properties throughout. 
• Neem:
TAKE 2 NEEM LEAF CAPSULES DAILY. NEEM (AZADIRACHTA INDICA) IS VALUED IN AYURVEDIC MEDICINE FOR ITS VARIED HEALING PROPERTIES DUE TO ITS ANTI-BACTERIAL, ANTI-FUNGAL, AND ANTI-VIRAL CAPABILITIES.

Probiotic Digestive Support:
Probiotics are live microorganisms that are beneficial to our health by improving our intestinal microbial balance. These microorganisms are known to aid in reducing inflammation, and provide immune support by inhibiting pathogens and toxin producing bacteria. The following are sources of Probiotics:
• Acidophilus Supplements
• Coconut Kefir:
A FERMENTED DRINK MADE FROM COCONUT MILK OR YOUNG COCONUT WATER THAT HAS ADDITIONAL MICROORGANISMS THAT MAY BE ABLE TO COLONIZE THE INTESTINES AND BENEFIT HEALTH FURTHER BY PROTECTING THE INTESTINE AGAINST DISEASE-CAUSING BACTERIA.
