I heard the iodine level is too high.

[greentea101]

I am happy you post this, because I was going to buy some centrum too.......But I thing centrum sould be ok.. I use to take gnc ultime and those gnc r so strong.... centrum is very light in term of stuff they put in it, even my derm told me to take fish oil and multivitamin......... buy the normal centrum, because theres many type.. & centrum is pretty cheap and they r known brand......

i would look for a vitamin without the iodine. high levels can cause acne.

I used to take it, no complaints, but as already suggested the iodine level looks excessive. But more importantly, the amount of vitamins/minerals beneficial for acne are in doses too small to make a difference.

If I were you, I'd decide what you need and buy separate bottles of each. For acne, I'm taking the following daily:

Omega-3 - 1034mg
Zinc - 25mg
Vitamin C - 1000mg
Vitamin A - 860μg (2500IU)

Do that, munch on a few carrots, and you should be sweet.

I think the amount of zinc I take is probably on the low side too, does anyone think I should be taking more to see any benefit, or is 25mg okay? I eat some red meat 3-4 meals a week so I don't get heaps from my diet at the moment.

[countdown2failure]

Yeah, 100% of your daily iodine... that means any/everything that you eat during the day that has iodine in it is pushing you farther and farther over 100%

I wouldn't take it. But that's just me. It may not effect your acne at all, maybe try it and find out?

Maybe search some threads for a better multi-vitamin that doesn't have iodine in it; I'm sure someone has found one, maybe they will post it here.

I don't take a multi-vitamin at all. I (like many other people here) just take several different individual supplements over the course of the day.

Good luck and best wishes.

I have seen immediate (adverse) effect on my acne after taking centrum A to zinc.
I was clear as I started taking zinc. no new zits.

After taking a single tab of centrum, I found a new zit forming on the side of my face. It happened within 12-14 hrs of taking this supplement.

I did nt realize, it was the tablet. The next day too I took a tablet, and another zit.

I am not taking it again.
