So today I went into GNC to re-stock on Fish Oil. The GNC sales person introduced me to this new product. Its supposed to help with skin and dryness. As an ex isotrentin user this appeals to me.

It states that it contains hyaluronic acid and lutein. I know what hyaluronic acid is, but I've never heard of lutein. Despite already purchasing it I'm wondering if this is safe to take? I've started on Tazorac, so I'm not sure.

Any help would be awesome !

• 1400 mg of fish oil in each serving, providing 900 mg total OMEGA-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA to promote skin, heart, joint, brain and eye health*
• Helps support skin hydration and elasticity with lutein and hyaluronic acid*
• Supports the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response*

GNC Triple Strength Fish Oil 1400 plus Skin Support combines a total of 900 mg of the heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA with lutein and hyaluronic acid, important nutrients shown to support healthy skin.* Each softgel capsule is enteric coated which allows the softgel to break down and absorb in the small intestine. This controls or reduces fishy furps.

A landmark study involving over 11,000 participants has confirmed the major benefits of fish oil on cardiovascular health. The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil are necessary for heart health.* They help support normal, healthy cholesterol levels and are necessary in the maintenance of normal blood pressure.* EPA is important for circulatory system health and also acts as a precursor to hormone – like substances that control vital bodily functions responsible for the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response. DHA provides support for health triglyceride levels.*

Lutein helps support skin hydration and provides important antioxidant support for healthy skin.* Antioxidants protect against harmful free radicals that can destroy healthy cells and promote the cell aging process.* Hyaluronic acid is an important structural component of body tissues and helps maintain the elastic integrity of skin.*

GNC Triple Strength Fish Oil 1400 plus Skin Support has been purified and manufactured for freshness. Five separate purification processes are used until each batch of fish oil in our products is found to be free of detectable levels of mercury, cadmium, lead and PCBs. We use only the best quality ingredients derived from wild, deep ocean fish.

I'm sure it should be fine, I've heard wonderful things about those GNC Triple Strength Fish Oil vitamins. Always wanted to buy them but never got around to it. Let me know how it goes.

I've been taking the Triple Strength during my course and have never had an issue. I just didn't know whether or not the added "skin support" was okay.
