Zinc Acne
September 2, 2010
One of the best natural treatments considered by many a dermatologist as therapeutic is treatment of the acne with zinc. Zinc is a mineral that is very important for our well being. Zinc is said to be found in more than a couple of hundred enzymes that are very important to the well being of the cells in the body. Zinc is considered as an important substance for the treatment of acne because it can interact with the DNA in the cell nuclei. Zinc plays an instrumental role in our bodies' growth and development and is essential in sex and reproduction.
Zinc deficiency can cause a lot of growth problems, and it play a critical role in the proper functioning of the immune system. Zinc has some antioxidant property as well as a powerful anti-inflammatory property. In the recent past, several studies have shown that patients who were given zinc supplement had marked improvement of acne. Zinc also helps in preventing acne as well as heal recurrent breakouts. Zinc plays a major role in regulating the hormonal imbalances that result in the acne.
It is a fact that zinc does help acne sufferers. The actual mechanism of how zinc actually helps has not yet been unraveled, but some studies have shown that lack of zinc has been known to cause an increase in the production of male hormones. There have been several genuine cases of patients being 'cured' of longstanding acne with a low fat diet coupled with zinc gluconate supplements. In a controlled study, zinc was shown to have reduced the acne by approximately 60% in most of the acne sufferers. If you like to take zinc the natural way then you can find zinc in generous amounts in brewers yeast, Brazil nuts and pumpkin seeds.
The dosage of zinc might vary from doctor to doctor as some physicians recommend up to 100 milligrams of zinc supplements a day for the treatment of acne, but in some cases this might result in nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. Pregnant women and nursing mothers should exercise precaution while taking zinc and should not take zinc in doses higher than 15 milligrams per day. As always, it is recommended that you consult your personal physician if you are pregnant or nursing before undertaking any dietary supplement or starting any exercise program.
As always, acne arises only when there are impurities in our blood, even if you take creams, lotions, antibiotics etc, they would not have as much impact like cleaning the toxic substances from the blood. By taking healthy food along with zinc supplements one can reduce the problem of acne by a large percentage. Maintain a healthy life style, avoiding oily food, wash your face regularly and taking lots and lots of water can help reduce the pain and discomfiture of the acne, which is one of the most common skin disorders prevailing today. If you like to be free from acne, then eat healthy and be free from acne.
