Acne.org Products
Hey guys and gals,
I notice so many supplements and vitamins being thrown around here and there to help with acne, and I always want to learn more. Problem is, there are so many websites out there that just want to sell you these things without providing clinical evidence or side effects.
I don't remember how I found it, but examine.comis a great free resource that I want to share with this community because I think knowledge is power. According to their own description:
"Examine.com is an independent encyclopedia on supplementation and nutrition.We are not affiliated in any way with any supplement company,and we have a team of health professionals analyzing the full body of research."
Just to be clear and hopefully not get in trouble with the moderators here, this has been a really great resource for me and this isn't some paid endorsement. I just think the idea is pretty awesome and allows the public to have information previously hidden behind pay walls for scientific studies.
I was wondering if anyone else has found good resources for this kind of thing and wants to share?
I agree about knowledge is power! Some people just read posts like "vitamin D cured my acne" and such and go out and by 20 different supplements expecting them to work! 
Acne is multi-factorial so one must consider this before buying products that will have a specific effect on their skin.
i agree. i've definitely been there.. anxiously browsing the forums grasping for supplements without actually knowing how they are interacting with my body/endocrine system. i wish the people making posts claiming a supplement has solved their acne would give us a more informed breakdown of how and why. everyone needs to research the root cause of their acne as opposed to hastily bandaiding the symptoms!
I got my university account on Pubmed, too many biology/chemistry/anatomy textbooks, and 3 years worth of notes!
Have a massive amount of scholarly journals and scientific studies scattered throughout my SSD/HDD.
You can get lucky every now and then by lurking through popular unviersity websites' and occasionally end up in there online lecture database for classes. I've even downloaded a few virtual textbooks that weren't too advance for me.
I should scan them in on a computer and put them up for download on my Dropbox or something if anyone would actually be interested in the little scribbles.
@BaxterMcDoobinson I would definitely check that out if you made a dropbox file of it. Pubmed is AWESOME. Lots of great info still available without a pay wall
