Hey guys!

So i've been reading REALLY great reviews about taking Zinc supplements to clear up skin, but it seems like some people see amazing results while others see none at all! Im wondering if the form of Zinc taken (gluconate, Opti-zinc (Zinc Monomethionine) or chelated Zinc) has anything to do with how effective it is?? If you've taken Zinc and it's worked for you, can you please share which form of Zinc you've taken?? I think this would maybe help clear up the mystery a little bit for those of us who are still struggling! Thanks so much!

Opti Zinc is the best absorbed zinc you can buy. I had an unbelievable start to zinc. I had horrible acne, I started taking 60mg of Opti, and within 4 days I was 95% clear, I'm not even kidding you.

Of course, the acne began to come back, but not as fierce, and I truly believe zinc is an essential supplement for most people with acne. I haven't stopped taking it since a year ago when I started.

It usually reduces the lifespan of a pimple, the redness, and potentially the amount of breakouts you get. The best benefit from it is how well it helps your immune system, which is one of the main reasons I still take it.

I'm not saying you're gonna have an incredible clearing like I did, but most people do report positive effects.
