Freedom, do you split up your GLA intake throughout the day or take all of the pills at once? Also, do you take them with a fatty beverage and meal?

Ok got another scar today..Fuck...Althou shallow as hell thou, going to buy the borage oil now! I have found this borage oil with 220mg of gla per capsule, but do I need more? If I eat two of these pi...

Do any of you who are scarring feel completely "dried out"? My mouth, lips, eyes, and skin all have felt terribly dry for a few months now no matter how much water I drink, and I wonder if the drynes...

yeah i checked the bottle closely and out of the 1000mgs, its only 100mgs of the GLA. the other 700mgs is something known as linoleic acid. i have no clue if the second has any health benefits. also c...

so in theory taking calcium and evening primrose tablets whilst avoiding fish oil and high levels of vitamin A after accutane will stop the possibility of spontaneous scarring. out of curosity you say...

GLA is an omega 6 essential fatty acid that is found in borage and evening primrose oils, among others. freedom's theory is that Accutane somehow disturbs the omega 3 to 6 ratio in your body, which c...

Ok. It is not the beard color. It is definnetly high doses of vitamin A. Yesterday I ate a meal with carrots and brocolli and today I got a new scar!(I realized what I just ate after)..Stupid..Ok here...

I'm also on a million vitamins + supplements aswell because I figure they can only help.. even though nothing really has. .. Be careful with taking so many supplements! I went crazy with supplements...

OK, so I re-read Freedom's posts, and after going over my log from when I started scarring, I've concluded that I may have inadvertently caused myself a GLA and calcium deficiency, which can, if Freed...

Define "cheap." I spend about $25-30 a week eating all organic and hypoallergenic foods: turkey, salmon, kale, collards, zucchini, broccoli, carrots, quinoa, buckwheat, brown rice, kiwis, berries and...

@ Freedom: That's good to know! Everyone reacts differently to things, but it's definitely a good idea to try GLA by itself first, then add lecithin in after a few months if the results are unsatisf...

For anyone looking to try to supplement GLA, some people in the Nutrition forum had more success when taking GLA with a soy lecithin supplement and a fatty meal or drink like milk. Their theory is th...

My dad had severe acne and has some fairly deep pock marks left over 25 years later to prove it, though I never noticed them until I started scarring. My brother has typical teenage mild/moderate acn...

I just wanted to add something. Several days ago I mentioned on one of the threads about omega-6 and omega-3 competing in the body.   You guys seem to be very concerned about the ratio of omega-6...

Another piece of info-I too have taken accutane in the past.   And I get odd hives and rashes from fish oil and 03 sources.   Perhaps accutane disrupts the 06 conversion to GLA more permanen...

I do not have AMVC scarring but I've been following this thread to try to determine why my existing acne scars so badly now even though the acne itself is less severe than it was when I didn't scar. ...

Anyone? This stuff seems like it would help with scars that appear better in the morning due to the minor facial swelling that occurs overnight as it has a "plumping" effect, but I'd like some input ...

I am wondering if using a hyaluronic serum or supplement can help to minimize mild pitted scarring, as it is supposed to instantly firm and plump the skin. Also, I read that fetuses don't scar becaus...

@QuirkyPixy-- are u taking hemp oil capsules? im considering taking that after i finish the borage oil. glad to hear it's clearing up ur skin No, I take a tablespoon of Nutiva hemp seed oil with my ...

are u suppose to put lecithin in the refrigerator too????? You probably don't need to refrigerate Lecithin capsules, but the granules need to be refrigerated. It wouldn't hurt to refrigerate them ei...

I'm too lazy to read the whole thread so I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, but have any of you niacin junkies tried supplementing with L-Glutamine?   From WHFoods.com:     ...

Ah, OK. I have one, then. Gotta quit the no-wash regimen though because I am getting new indented scars scary-fast now, yipes. This sucks.

Very nice. My skin is getting better day by day. I still get the occasional zit, but my skin deals with it so much better on it's own than when I was applying BP. I'd still like to figure out a goo...

But oh well, I know most people don't give a shit about things as superficial and uncontrollable as acne. You just have to try and have an extra good personality to make up for it, which might be a b...
