Also, it's not possible to take too many vitamins/herbs/supplements. Your body uses what it needs and flushes out the rest.

I've been takin vits on and off for half my life it seems, and I never know if they have any effect on my acne. My current supplement regimen is:

1. Nature's Aid cold pressed flaxseed oil (1000mg 3x daily with food) since 2 weeks
2. supermaket brand vitamin c (chewable, 1000mg, with food) since 3 months
3. [bsupermarket brand ]vitamin e[/b] (400 i.u, with food) since 1 month
4. supermarket brand vitamin b complex (comprised of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, b6, folic acid, b12, panothenic acid) since 3 months, but am planning to phase it out because I think the vit b6 and b12 may be causing me to break out (not sure!)
5. Pukka aloe vera juice (25ml daily)

considering:
1. vit d3 (liquid) because I spend most of the day inside
2. zinc picolinate (25mg, I'm cautious about starting at a higher dosage than that)
3. another form of vit b's (as yet do not know which but I'm concerned about b5 as it is linked to hair loss)
4. evening primrose capsules to regulate my imbalanced hormones (I have PCOS and cannot take oral contraceptives)

I used to take a lot, but I've narrowed it down to this:

Multivitamin
Stress-b complex (vitamin c, b vitamins, zinc, copper)
Fish Oil (only 1g a day)
Probiotics (occasionally)

I might start taking vitamin D because I'm not getting as much sun as usual. I used to take D/Calcium supplements, but I want to get higher doses of D without supplementing calcium (which doesn't have as many health benefits as I used to think).
