Zinc Reviews

It was recommended to me to take a probiotic on an empty stomach in the morning, a b-complex with breakfast, and zinc on an empty stomach at night before bed, and after about a week or two my skin started to look better than it had even when I was on Proactive, Differin, and all of the different antibiotics, and topical creams that dermatologists have given me for the past seven years (I feel like I've tried everything expensive that they offered). It's a very simple routine that doesn't interfere with anything else in my life, and there is a wonderful improvement in my skin.

I tried zinc 150 mg in the am and 150 in the pm and it worked very well for a few days, and I've tried this twice, but it seems like after a few days the acne just comes back and zinc has no effect. It works great at first though, any ideas about that?

Love zinc, after trying so many remedies, who knew something found in the local drug store could reep such benefits! I have been on zinc for about 3 months off and on now. When I first started, my skin cleared dramatically. I had a bit of nausea though, until I started taking it with a full meal. I take 50mg daily with Estroven, it seems to absorb better with the Estroven for some reason. Sorry guys, estroven should be taken by females only but some other forms of isoflavins may be available to you guys. Well, the bad thing is, my skin is completely clear anymore. I still get few breakouts but I would say my skin is 85% better now with zinc than without it but you have to stay on it and be consistant. I wish my skin would have stayed 100% clear from when I started. But I must say, Zinc has cleared my skin more than anything else out there and also it does not interact with any other meds you may need to take! Zinc does rule!!!!!!!

I've been trying to convince my friends of Zinc's helpfullness for years. Not only is it good for skin, but it boosts immune system too. I have not had a serious cold for 2yrs. You are seeing more & more cold remedies at stores with zinc as active ingr.

I have to be honest. For me it didn't seem to do anything I was taking them in Germany so maybe it's the brand, but porbably just zinc didn't work for me.

Dude, zinc freaking rules my life. Ever since I started taking 50mg of zinc once a day, my face has never been clearer! I loveeee zinc. It really cleared up my face a LOT. But, if you're going to use zinc, ONLY TAKE IT AFTER YOU'VE EATEN A FULL MEAL! If you take it on an empty stomach, you'll throw up..so just a warning. But I wish all of you luckkk!


holler.

I found that initially zinc really seemed to make a huge improvement to my acne and I was really excited about this. However at the moment my skin isn't looking so good. I'd read that zinc deficiency is common in people with eczema and acne and is often deficient in teenagers. I've been taking 50mg a day. i could perhaps do with increasing this amount to get the results I saw initially. Another side effect was that my nails actually grew and didn't flake any more.

Zinc is amazing for acne! Must remember not to take it on its own though. Zinc is best absorbed by the body if it is combined with something else other wise the body doesnt seem to take any notice of it!!

A friend recommended I try this after nothing was working, and I'm hooked! It took a few weeks before I really starting seeing results, but my skin is so clear right now.

Just started using GNC Zinc(Zinc Gluconate) 50. Bought it from a local health store in Karachi. I believe my back acne is clearing up and so do i blv that my blemishes have started to heal faster even since ive started taking it. Though I do not blv it alone will cure acne. I apply Pure Tea Tree and Lavender oil and on top of it Nelsons Acne Gels. By far the best stuff ive used for my skin. But it will atleast take a month for results to show.
