Let me begin by highlighting the importance of zinc in our body. Zinc is essential for the production of more than 100 enzymes in our body, and is needed for the absorption of Vitamin A. Zinc also helps to enhance our body’s immune system, by helping in our body’s growth development and aiding in skin healing process. Not only that, zinc helps by balancing your body’s hormones level, doing so will prevent excessive sebum production. Read more on hormonal imbalance.
With so much benefits zinc gives us to counter against acne, it is no wonder why this mineral has always been comapred in terms of effectiveness with tetracycline(an antibiotic use for acne treatment).
Why people experience mixed results for zinc?
Most of us don’t really absorb all the zinc we consumed, why is it so? Copper and iron will hinder the absorption of zinc in your body. Therefore you should consume more zinc if you do have a diet that has large concentration of copper and iron. Scientist recommend that you should consume no more than 100mg of zinc per day. Consuming too much zinc will cause toxicity effect and can harm your body.
You can check your body’s copper toxicity easily by doing a blood or muscle test.
You should also take in more zinc if your diet includes high amount of copper
to balance your zinc absorption.
How you can you increase your zinc intake? Food that provides zinc includes oysters, red meat, nuts, cereals, mushrooms, egg
yolks and sunflower seeds. The problem with zinc is that it is found in soil where vegetables grow. If the soil is poor with zinc, so does the vegetables. With so much processed food in today’s diet, it is hard to find plentiful of zinc in people’s diet. Depending on your daily meals for zinc might not enough, thus it would be advisable for you to take zinc supplement if you want to meet up to daily zinc requirement.
There are basically two types of supplement available for zinc, zinc gluconate and zinc monomethionine, the latter also known as Opti-zinc. I would strongly encourage you to only buy Opti-zinc if you do consider purchasing any zinc supplements because research and statistical results has shown that Opti-zinc works best for acne treatment and body’s absorption as compared to other zinc supplement. It is important to take zinc with food if not it will cause nauseas or vomit.
My opinion I would rate zinc as the top 3 acne supplement for you to choose. The effect of hormonal balance will greatly help in your acne treatment. Since zinc doesn’t have any serious effects, and with its powerful health boaster effects, you should seriously consider it. Once again, remember not to take copper with zinc together.
