Zinc supplements help acne?? WHAT?!

I was reading a book about a month and a half ago about a lady who said she loved zinc and said it helped her acne. I googled it and to see if it was true. It was!

My parents are health food store junkies, so it was not hard for me to get zinc. Once they got a bottle of it for me I started taking it every day after supper. You have to take it with food or you might get nauseous - and I don't mean just a slice of bacon. I mean a good helping.

Now I didn't have a face full of zits when I started taking the supplements. I just had a couple problem areas, namely my chin and hairline, but that was about it. It seriously helps! I was a little skeptical about it at first but after about a month I was amazed - still am! Like, all of my pimples are gone except for when one or two pop up occasionally. But that isn't very often!

Zinc works because it helps balance hormones in the body. When there is an imbalance you produce excessive oils and sebum.

Not convinced? It also:
  • Regenerates new cells, making your face look cleaner and brighter
  • Increases fertility
  • Heals wounds (this goes along with eliminating pimples, like getting rid of acne scars)
  • Decreases severity and duration of a cold (zinc also comes in lozenge form)
  • Helps you lose weight faster
  • Improves vision
  • Ensures correct development and growth of the fetus during pregnancy
  • Strengthens and boosts immune system
So it's like killing two birds with one stone! Awesome!

This is where you can get the same zinc that I got, but I also heard you can buy it at Wal-Mart. It's not too costly either.
