We have a saying in Hungarian "one can look at the sun but not at her" meaning that you are so beautiful you shine brighter than the sun and that comes to my mind whenever I see you .
Tímea Tarjányi We have the same saying in Romanian 😊! And I agree, Renee is so beautiful, elegant, she is in a class of her own (I can only compare her with Lisa Eldridge, whom I also love)! And of course very intelligent and articulate, which is a rare occurrence on social media...
Omg. Your comment has given me goosebumps it's so beautiful and I'm so touched. I always love when you comment but this, I will always remember! Thank you, my love for giving me the feels, I can't even! 💗
A very no-nonsense, informative and measured approach to skincare! No random hype products or anything, which can be a little hard to find nowadays. Subbed!
You are one of the rare gems here in TH-cam. I love the scientific approach you do when you talk about skincare. You saved my skin so much Renée, you also saved me lots of money because of you I don't even have to visit my dermatologist. I will surely take these supplements. Thank you so much Renée, love ya!
I suffered from hormonal acne for years. Last year I was recommended to take a supplement called DIM . I stared taking it and New zits stopped appearing and my face was completely clear after one month. Love all the information you provide. I feel like I learn something new every time I watch your videos!
The Visionary my friend did it this way too. Her acne was worse than mine and now it’s flawless. If you see this, can you possibly give me an average meal plan for the day for yourself?
@@sittiemaimonahabuat4429 Oh hi, tbh I spoke too soon with that comment hahaha my acne came back not long after going off gluten. But I've been using acne.org's bp gel for like 3 months and I'm completely clear. Only thing that's ever worked and I've tried everything under the sun
I agree with all of those supplements, however I would also add a gelatin/collagen supplement. Or one can just consume bone broth. It gives you THE most amazing glow! :)
Tati's halo Hair Skin and Nails vitamin has been so amazing for my skin and it's hydration, supplness. No breakouts. Im glowing! One of many things that is different about this vitamin is the inclusion of ceramides. Skin changing!
As a Med student, we were advised by our professors to not prescribe zinc for more than three month. It is absorbed with the same carrier that also transports iron or copper. That means while taking zinc supplements, you might get deficient in iron or other micronutrients that use the same carrier in your intestine because the carriers are "blocked" by zinc. An exception here is obviously if a patient has an actual deficiency in zinc.
MsJB93 I've had a Zinc deficiency for over a year. I've tried many different types of zinc but my blood results don't change. It's so frustrating !!!!!!!!
I suffered from acne too every time . Took tons of supplements just like you mentioned and it does helped to control my acne but then again it will pops up. We all have different skin types and how our body reacts to supplements , observe and listen to your body. For me I cleared my skin by : 1. Exercise : more on cardio ( the best detox is when you sweat ) 2. Avoiding nuts ( if you have allergies from it ) 3. Limit dairy products 4. Avoiding sugary and processed foods 5. Excessive salt intake 6. Supplements - zinc , probiotics 7. Good skin care ( know ur skin type)
This was so informative and easy to understand. I was especially happy to hear about vitamin d3 and omega 3 VS 6. I have all over full body inflammation and this make things make more sense to me. I love watching your videos.
Hi Renée, I just want to thank you for sharing this information. I have had hormonal acne on my chin for years and what worried me more than the cosmetic factor of dealing with breakouts was the fact that my body was trying to tell me something was wrong and I didn't know how to help it. No topical product made any lasting difference, and neither did spironolactone. But for the past month or so I have avoided most dairy and taken a hair/nails supplement, zinc, omega 3, and vitamin B, and my skin improved almost immediately! I used to get a giant, angry zit at least once per week and I've had a total of two zits in the past month, both of which faded back into my skin as you have described happening to you. I also look forward to drinking matcha daily (what a delicious and nourishing way to treat acne!). I'm truly so thankful that I found your channel and that you have shared your personal journey towards skin health so openly. Obviously everyone's root cause of acne varies but I think mine was very similar to yours and now you've actually changed my life. My whole body just feels happier. Thank you thank you!!
Thank you for sharing and just ordered the B complex you use. I take Dr Ohhira probiotic the professional formula any thoughts on this one? Also Vit C with zinc gluc, Omega 3 Purepharma, Dlux Vit D Better for you, Magnesium xxx
Lara Nee are you thinkin to add supplement such as Zinc, Vit C and Vit D/ Vit B can reduce acne and improve skin health? Or any other recommend? And whats dosage? Am starting to adding some supplement daily but not sure yet which one its best. Need some thoughts and advice
I’ve suffered hormonal acne for many years did a lot of research, started taking Glutathione as my supplement, have more vegetables and avoid sugar, dairy etc.... it works!!!
Iyenemi Whyte no. I’ve never used it because I’ve seen doctors saying negative things about it. Glutathione is a brightening/whitening agent and that’s why dermatologists prescribe it for their patients who have acne scars and severe hyperpigmentation. There’s a % that’s safe and that’s why it’s only a doctor prescribed thing. Buying it over the counter, is very dangerous therefore I wouldn’t recommend it. As for the one you’ve just bought, go see a doctor and let them tell you whether it’s safe or not. Better safe than sorry
I take 50 mg a day with 1200 mg of fish oil. Also apply aloe vera gel and my acne is not even 5% as bad as it used to be. I would feel uncomfortable even taking my shirt off but now its not even an issue
Hi Renee, please let us know when to take them, because i think that is very important, especially with Probiotics, when do you think its best? I hear mixed things on morning/night with/without food. Please help! Thanks so much for this video, i feel that this is one of the most helpful videos you've made so far:)
Guys she said in her description that she does drink them everyday only in different times. Some needed to be taken on an empty stomach and some after eating
It depends on your supplement and the directions. Some may require an empty stomach while others require food. Yes, I take these daily. I take the zinc in phases when I feel my immunity needs a boost.
I currently take a women’s multivitamin, zinc, vitamin c, evening primrose oil, probiotics, and milk thistle which i hear is great for removing toxins that lead to acne☺️ I have also read that chlorella and spirulina are great as well
You’re absolutely right. I personally take zinc, probiotics in food (i.e. kimchi, sauerkraut, pickled olives), D3+ K2, b-complex, vegan omega 3, and glutathione and my skin is FLAWLESS!
Good to know. I started taking supplements a few months ago ( the ones you mentioned and more ) and I do notice a difference on my skin. My acne has almost completely disappeared. Hopefully in the near future I can finally see my skin back to its healthy self.
I take Magnesium + Zinc for a good boost to my immune system and I just find that it really works for me, helps with energy levels and stress. Also, I used to take Biotin for hair (stopped now, but want to go back to it) and some Fountain Molecules from deciem! I'm currently loving the Geek Molecule and I quite enjoyed the Beauty Molecule, but seen more results from the Geek one. Thank you for the video! You look great, as always!
This was wonderful. With the exception of vitamin B, I take all of those as well as evening primrose oil (as suggested by my dermatologist) and Magnesium - which helps not only with skin concerns but also preventatively against depressive symptoms due to pms or predisposal. High impact exercise also leads me to take Glucosamine & Chondroitine for joint care. I used to also take dr. Brandt’s green tea concentrate before it was discontinued. I really really miss it, as I am sensitive to caffeine and that product was decaffeineted and highly concentrated, meaning you would get a much larger dose of green tea than you could possibly drink in a day. If you can recommend an alternative I would be grateful! 🙏
Hi Renee, you are so elegant and beautiful here! My condolences on what happened with your dad. I'm sure he's proud of you for the kind of person you've grown into. Stay strong! Also, I want to thank you for creating this great channel. I have been getting so many compliments about my skin and it was all hard earned work and research and your channel was the only one I can rely on for solid advice. Thank you so much renee. I dont now you personally but from your channel I can tell that you are an amazing person and so generous for sharing what you know. I dont feel the need to consult a Derma because i have learned to "listen" to mys skin and your advice from your channel is top on my very short list. Take care always renee. You have a big fan base here in the philippines!
Everything that you mentioned aside from probiotics are supplements needed for the liver to properly function ! What I’ve noticed anything that helps the liver usually clears my acne ! Dirty liver equals acne
Your skin looks AMAZING, it just looks more beautiful in every video!! I recommend your channel to everyone I know. So they can educate themselves about their skin and skincare. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!🦋
Best thing is yo feed your gut bacteria with fruit/ veggie in the form Of smoothies really feeds gut bacteria ☺ Evening primrose oil works better for mood.
I really love this Renée! These are the exact supplements my family are taking to support overall health! For us, it's not only great for the skin but also for gut health to help IBS, new allergies and fatigue symptoms. I'm so happy that you are sharing this and more people can be aware how they can support not only their skin but also their overall health!
After seeing several youtubers recommend zinc to help with acne, I began taking that Bluebonnet 50mg zinc supplement. Eventually after taking it every day for a couple of weeks, I began feeling sicker and sicker. I could not get thru the day without multiple naps. I finally became concerned when I began vomiting due to extreme nausea a few times a day maybe once or twice a week At first I thought it was from not taking with food but it happened WITH food as well! Long story short (too late), 50mg is a pretty high dose of zinc. It was too much for me apparently and I've been fine ever since stopping. Just throwing that out there, because it took me months and a lot of torment to figure out what was happening. Definitely be cautious with these things. 😉
Casey W. 50 mg is what skindoctors prescribe When you have extremely bad acne but and here comes a Big but mine said that many people cant tolerate more than 15 to 25 so she recommended starting out high and then going lower and divide it up in two doses lunch and dinner and take it with food always plus also do it in cures ie 3 months stop give it 2-3 months start again . So unfortunatly much more complicated than you might Think and as you’ve noticed to much and not divided and you Will get as sick as a dog
I have been doing some research on B 12 viatmins and I found out that It causes acne in some people with acne prone skin to break out more. Can you do a video more on B 12 viatmins please .
Beyza Aydın silica is one of the vitamins your skin is made from...the older we get the less our skin absorbs this vitamin ...as a result we get wrinkles cause the collagen is not being fed .....I think its the combination of things why u broke out..... An often times that silica in the product is synthetic...... So work from the inside out .....look at the blood that's what carries oxygen to the skin ...if the liver is not doing a good job of cleaning because of the toxic buildup. the blood will carry all the waste round an around the body an it will often times show in the skin......so look into herbs to clean the blood.. What worked for me was burdock an dandelion capsules also red clover work in combination to clear all my acne...horsetail tea will strengthen the skin ...u can go online an research all of these items..... Also I use Castor oil to cleanse no harsh soap feed your skin with natural ingredients
Angelique Skerritt Thank you for enlightening me! It maybe not the silica itself but the combination I don't know but most of the sunscreen broke me out😏 I'm drinking spearmint and green tea and sometimes lavender and camomile😍 Thanks for the recommendation. Definitely try these 😍
Hi Rene. Thank you for this information-packed video. I am struggling with hormonal acne on my chin since early twenties ( I am in my early 30s now). After going to numerous dermatologists and trying numerous pills and creams I am ready for a different, more holistic approach. I have been so disappointed with all the "professionals" in the field thus far. I live in NYC as well, and was wondering if you would share contacts for your Dr of Integrative and functional medicine.
Renée, I have never previously commented on a TH-cam video, however, after having subscribed & watched your channel for a few months I, too, just had to let you know how grateful I am to have found you! Your elegance, wonderful personable demeanour, and knowledge of science based skincare is breath of fresh air! Please always continue to do what you do ❤️
Aw Sarah, this means so much to me! Thank you for commenting, as someone who isn't a 'commenter' myself, I can really appreciate the gesture. Thank you for the love girl!
I think Zinc also (and this is so crudely simplified) helps regulate one's insulin, which is also a sex hormone that directly interacts/moderates other sex hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and androgens :) that's the summarized tid-bit I got from a doctor who explained it way more eloquently than I can.
I take Vitamin D, B-complex, fish oil, turmeric, chlorophyll, and probiotics and my acne/redness hasn't changed at all. I eat a relatively clean and balanced diet with limited dairy and meat, I sleep 7 hours a night, and exercise daily, yet I STILL have pervasive skin problems. Not sure what to do anymore.
Kait Gardner , it could be that your acne could be fungal based rather than hormonal. Or it could be aggravated by a damaged moisture barrier or an ingredient in your skin care that you react poorly to. I hope these ideas help you
Keep up with the healthy practices but you must make sure your skin is strong enough to resist bacteria. So be gentle, don't over exfoliate, over-cleanse or go over board with drying topical treatments. Have patience love, skin takes time to heal.
Renee are you sure you can't eat pizza ever day and take these supplements to balance it all out?😅😅😅. Wouldn't that be a dream! Wonderful video, Wow so informative and precise. Thank u.
I've recently got on to Vitamin A for acne. I was on accutane and had a good run of being relatively acne free for about 5 months after the course of accutane was complete. Now I am trying solgar vitamin A for a similar effect. I don't know if it'll work, been two weeks and I've had some hormonal breakouts already.
hi renee! i think this is my favorite video of yours that you have ever posted. i liked that you thoroughly did your research on the supplements instead of just taking them for their claims :)
Hey.. i just wanted to ask that i hv been taking B Complex for about a week and i saw another video about it , There are many comments on it that B vitamins can cause really bad acne although I didn’t notice anything on my face other than the old acne..So i wanted to ask is that true? Should i stop taking it?Please let me know
As a hormonal acne sufferer, this couldn't come at the perfect time. I am loving your videos Renee. Its very informative and well reaearched. Keep up the good work!! :)
So helpful! I've been taking the Garden Of Life Once Daily 30 Billion probiotic for a bit over a month and was thinking about adding an omega 3 supplement as well, still looking into that! Could you do a separate video on clogged pores and closed comedones? I suffer from them pretty extremely after waxing my face months and months ago but they won't seem to go away since😩
me too . wanna try...please let me know what product would be your choice. ..for me it must be vegan typ. ..hope I will be able to find ( india but not indian) I would be the perfect example. .guess not easy to find someone more dehydrated than me ;) looking forward to hear from you ♡
As always your videos are so informative, timely and draw attention to a "wholistic" approach to beautiful skin and health. I've taken supplements my whole life and I work in natural health and ingredients are my thing etc. I will mention one thing, Zinc is great but it depletes copper (good for skin) so you want to look for zinc supplements that contain copper. They are available. I also like BCAA's (yes, for sports guys but so much good stuff) and I am a huge fan of L Glutamine. Agree on the EPO, you breakout....for a while. Then it should stabilize. But its really tricky. Borage oil is great for skin as is Sea Buckthorn. Probiotics are good and I live in Canada so I take a brand called Bio K (rice version, not dairy) and it's fermented 50 billion. Just make sure to take your Vit D with fats (fat soluble) and Vitamin B & C can be taken anytime (water soluble.) I love love Mega Foods and I take the Balanced B. Because it's Food State, its so easy to digest and can be taken on an empty stomach. I think food state vitamins are pretty great overall to be honest. Sorry for the long note ladies....
Rena Dempsey hi! Not real sure about the 'copper'. Bcs i want to start consume zinc (picolinate) 20mg a day to reduce my breakout, is that ok or shud i adding other supplement to balance it?
Is the dermatologist the best source to find what you’re deficient in, or who would you recommend? Great video, I appreciate all the information! I’ve enjoyed your channel!
you can get your blood checked at a doctor and they could see if your deficient in something though i heard it's expensive in some parts of the world to get those tests
I’m 54 y/o my everyday vitamins is avocado, i shake, i eat it 2 small size of avocado 2x a week with my lacto free milk, and my skin starts to glow.,thats what I notice😊❤️
I was deficient in zinc (just below the lower end of the range) due to years of being a vegetarian (I quit due to leaky gut and loads of deficiencies I developed on this diet). But at first I did not make the connection to my late acne in the chin area that I aquired after quitting birth control. I literally got new spots every day for many years and almost every blemish cream or kind of specific skincare made my skin break out additionally. The only serum and moisturizer that didn‘t clog my pores was from an UK based natural brand that has an acne blemish prone skin care line. I ordered it half across europe. My late acne was still there. Then I finally found the endurance to take zinc on a daily basis mainly to improve impaired immune function because of the zinc deficiency. After 60 days of 50mg zinc gluconate daily I started to notice a difference in skin texture and less break outs. I got a blood test too and was a little bit above the lower range. It takes very long to cure a zinc deficiency. Now after 4 month I have almost no blemishes on the chin anymore, it‘s like a miracle to me. On some days I almost forgot to apply make up since my skin looked so even. I have to say I tried true retinol from cod liver oil too for a month several month ago (high dose) but it did not help with acne. D3 high dose also did nothing for my acne but for other ailments. Get a blood test for D3 and zinc before you start any of it and get blood work done later on to make sure to reach and maintain normal levels. Retinol deficiency (vitamin a) also can induce acne but do not use beta carotene (lots of people can not convert it to retinol) or sythetic retinol (poisonous) if you are deficient (there is a blood test too). Forget about all the synthetic and harmful creams dermatologist describe you need to dig deeper and find out what nutrients the body is missing or what hormone inbalances there are. Btw I healed my leaky gut by a high animal products diet (carnivore mostly) that reduced my inflammation in the body greatly. Also contributed to getting my rosacea under control.
I have PCOS and suffer from hormonal acne. I visited a gynecologist and asked if there was anything I could do to help regulate my cycles after they were messed up by the pill (and of course my acne had came back). He suggested I take a supplement called Inofert, which contains inositol (a vitamin B) and folic acid. He said it would help regulate my cycles and also work great on my hormonal acne. I also read online it really helped other people like me. Well, that didn't go as planned! Although it worked wonders on my cycle, from the third day of taking it I started breaking out on my forehead (which I never did before, I mostly break out on my cheeks and chin). After taking them for about 2 months, my skin was so bad I could not believe it. It kinda looked like cystic acne because it was inflamed and would hurt so much!! My skin was at its worst (plus it was summer and the sun and heat did not help at all). I cried every day. When I stoped taking it, my skin slowly came back to normal, but with lots of hyperpigmentation left. So you should always consider that just because something helps some people, it may not work for you as well
Look into Organic Olivia's Parapro supplement. I've had severe hormonal acne for years and have even been on Accutane and that's the only thing that helped me along with taking a probiotics and lysine like she suggests. She's on TH-cam
Ella Schroth i was super curious about her supplements! I got weirded out and felt like it was a little pseudo sciencie and it's kind of expensive so got scared away. Also wasn't sure if it would really help a mere mortal like me since my diet isn't amazing and I don't really exercise. How long did it take for you to start seeing results?
I take magnesium at night to help me sleep, and it seems to be working. My sleep will never be perfect (and I'm perimenopausal which makes it even worse!) but it's certainly much better after 6 weeks of magnesium.
hye can i take 1000 mg omega 3 fish oil each day while im consuming vit c + zinc 1000 mg at the same time ? ohh also before breakfast , can i take pre & probiotics ? please reply me
Maam, im taking evening primrose everyday, is there any problem that im taking this , im a male im taking this because im sufferring of hormonal acne. Im taking omega 6. I need an advice maam, but somehow my acne gets better right now rather than before that i was not taking it.
Hi My dear Renne, one of your oldest quiet subscriber, have been watching you and so happy to see you with two hundred thousand over subscribers which you truly deserve and much more, you are simply the best n beautiful too; Thank you for sharing your supplements as always a great video, Bee 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍
this is so interesting! I actually didn't know that vitamin deficiency could cause acne! This might be why I always have 2x more acne during school semester than during holidays like christmas and summer. I tend to not eat very healthy and very balanced meal during school (like I don't remember the last time I ate a fruit) so maybe these supplements could help me ( i know I also have to change my habits of eating no so good food too )
Ive taken vit d3 and zinc picolinate and it helped a lot with my hormonal acne. Ive noticed that my acne was not as inflamed as they were before and they really helped in drying them up faster. Now I'll look for the b complex and probiotic capsules because my regular intake of chia seeds cover my omega 3 consumption. Thanks for the recommendation Renee!! 😊
Kate G. Whats dossge you consume from Vit D and Zinc? Iam planning to take any supplement to help my acne and skin health. Consider to Vit B, Vit D, Vit C or Zinc. Which one you thinks it best?
Raiza Nisa H Hi! Right now Im taking 500mg of vit c, 30 mg of zinc picolinate and 400 IU of vit d3 im still on the look out for the b complex and probiotics. I just think one vitamin isnt enough to solve the problem. Also take a look at your diet, Ive noticed that cutting out sugar/ refined carbs helped tremendously. Hope this helps 😊
Kate G. Zinc picolinate its more better than gluconate aite? Not really know more about the probiotic in form of pill. Yes i cut dairy sugar gluten bein half vegan but nothing much so i thought i need more to balance my 'inside' (but not accutane or any others drug) am consider to take all your vitamin that u alreay consume. Is it VitD3 affected to ur acne?
Raiza Nisa H I cant say which one is the best because Ive started taking them all at the same time and Ive noticed a big difference from when I wasnt taking vitamins and the result after I took them.. plus i read that the picolinated form of zinc is better absorbed by the body than the gluconate one.
Kate G. Hi! May i know what brand from ur supplement? Been thinking to grab it from puritan pride/ nature's health. And are you taking those supplement at the same time? After meal at the morning?
Like she said in the beginning, I would talk to your doctor before adding certain supplements to your diet. While some excess of certain vitamins and minerals are flushed out of your body each day, certain ones (ex. Vitamin D) are stored. So I would figure out what the best options for YOU are. You may be able to, but it could mean your doctor would want you to take a certain multivitamin along with other supplements, since some multivitamins have more of (or added) a specific vitamin or mineral in them. I hope this helps!
Sarah Stroud yeh! Defs see your doctor. Things like omega 3 is anti inflammatory which is good for fighting acne but since it's anti inflammatory it can impair wound healing or worsen certain conditions. That's why vitamins should be tailored according to your health status! Also, some of these multivitamins might not have adequate amounts of certain vitamins. You could be lacking in iron and may need a high dose of iron tablets, etc :)!
Hey Sarah, I agree with these brilliant women here. I am personally not a believer of multi vitamins. I find supplementing where I'm deficient far more effective. Drs can generally tell you where you're deficient from blood tests and the integrative ones can tell you what might help from symptoms.
Multi vitamins are generally junk and you may be taking nutrients you don't need thereby causing further imbalance. Target your deficiencies 'gently' i.e. don't take massive doses unless indicated for a serious condition. Also where possible eat your nutrients in food.
I have had really bad Atopic Dermatitis since I was a child. Recent 8 years I have had occasional flare-ups that were gone after max 4 days. This time I was suffering a lot for over a month and a half with constant redness, itchiness, flakiness, patchy rashes and cracked skin around cracked corners of the mouth..I have not had as bad skin in over 8 years! I had dermatitis around my face and on my hands. I tried many creams prescripted by dermatologists but as soon as it started to get a bit better it got worse the next day. I was keeping a diet - diary and gluten free. But nothing really helped. I stopped using pescripted creams and started trying different home remedies. I can finally say that my skin cleared up and what worked the best for me is taking MSM and B-complex. I still cannot believe how magically it worked after using it just over 2 weeks. I have not had such beautiful skin in years! What I also do is drink a mix of table spoon (using plastic or wooden one) full of honey and a tea spoon of turmeric in warm water before eating in the morning; drink green tea (I order mine from China); do face massage and face yoga on daily basis and stress as less as possible. Taking magnesium is also very good to take in stress period but for me working out and be active helps me so so much. When it comes to creams I do tend to change it after a month or two (when the climate changes) but right now I use pure Vaseline and in the evening I also put a few drops of rosehip oil in it. It leaves my skin super soft. I know this video is more for acne treatment but anyone with atopic dermatitis this is what works the best for me :)
Also, I'm a bit confused. If you are taking probiotics that thrive in the gut, wouldn't they just keep replicating by themselves? Why is it needed to continuously take the probiotic supplements? (I'm actually asking, not trying to be confrontational in case that doesn't come across well.)
Because sometimes you have 'bad bacteria' in your gut which can reduce the amount of good bacteria and flush them out so you have to repeatedly take good bacteria in order to fight them. Also the junk food or any unhealthy foods will lower the effectiveness of good bacteria so clean diet is necessary. Hope this helps :)
I think it's good to start with supplements, but then keep it healthy with fermented food and sometimes enzymes pills (if you overeat or something). It's not only about bad bacterias, it's also about the power of all those digestion processes, which gets slower as you age.
This is a great question, and like Andela said, it's about maintenance. So many things affect the balance of bacterial flora in our guts, things like stress, the food we eat, the chlorine in our drinking water etc. basically our modern day lives support the growth and maintenance of bad bacteria. So we need to replenish the good ones everyday.

I suffered from hormonal acne for years. Last year I was recommended to take a supplement called DIM . I stared taking it and New zits stopped appearing and my face was completely clear after one month. Love all the information you provide.

I tried DIM and had no improvement 😕. Different things for different people, unfortunately I haven’t found mine yet.

The Visionary my friend did it this way too. Her acne was worse than mine and now it’s flawless. If you see this, can you possibly give me an average meal plan for the day for yourself?

Pickled vegetables and kombucha are also a good source of pro biotics. Generally fermented stuff is healthy and should be part of a diet.
does kevita kombucha count? (flavored kombucha)
yes it does! i can only drink the flavoured kind otherwise it's just too sour.
I love kimchi and sauerkraut!
Gothamista Omg you answered me thank you! :) I like kimchi too❤️
alice333 definitely gonna take on this advice... Never been fascinated by pickled foods.. 😂

@@sabbykohli what i heard you cant take it more than 1000mg and above
I heard you get that from meat though? Or is it different than the pill
Words just can't describe how thankful I am to have found you and your channel! 😍❤
Miki xo i agree
Thank you for finding me!
Too much zinc can deplete your selenium storage and cause copper deficiency
Tati's halo Hair Skin and Nails vitamin has been so amazing for my skin and it's hydration, supplness. No breakouts. Im glowing! One of many things that is different about this vitamin is the inclusion of ceramides. Skin changing!
I LOLed at "and for once, we're not talking about sunscreen." 😂
As a Med student, we were advised by our professors to not prescribe zinc for more than three month. It is absorbed with the same carrier that also transports iron or copper. That means while taking zinc supplements, you might get deficient in iron or other micronutrients that use the same carrier in your intestine because the carriers are "blocked" by zinc. An exception here is obviously if a patient has an actual deficiency in zinc.
MsJB93 that is so interesting. What about magnesium for non deficient people, taken for bruxism?
Thank you for this information!
Thanks for the information
MsJB93 I've had a Zinc deficiency for over a year. I've tried many different types of zinc but my blood results don't change. It's so frustrating !!!!!!!!
I wish you could elaborate more on this comment about zinc. Sounds like it's not something people should be taking all the time.
I suffered from acne too every time . Took tons of supplements just like you mentioned and it does helped to control my acne but then again it will pops up. We all have different skin types and how our body reacts to supplements , observe and listen to your body. For me I cleared my skin by :
1. Exercise : more on cardio ( the best detox is when you sweat )
2. Avoiding nuts ( if you have allergies from it )
3. Limit dairy products
4. Avoiding sugary and processed foods
5. Excessive salt intake
6. Supplements - zinc , probiotics
7. Good skin care ( know ur skin type)
This was so informative and easy to understand. I was especially happy to hear about vitamin d3 and omega 3 VS 6. I have all over full body inflammation and this make things make more sense to me. I love watching your videos.
Please update - its 2017 - now its 2019 . Thanks in anticipation
Hi Renée, I just want to thank you for sharing this information. I have had hormonal acne on my chin for years and what worried me more than the cosmetic factor of dealing with breakouts was the fact that my body was trying to tell me something was wrong and I didn't know how to help it. No topical product made any lasting difference, and neither did spironolactone. But for the past month or so I have avoided most dairy and taken a hair/nails supplement, zinc, omega 3, and vitamin B, and my skin improved almost immediately! I used to get a giant, angry zit at least once per week and I've had a total of two zits in the past month, both of which faded back into my skin as you have described happening to you. I also look forward to drinking matcha daily (what a delicious and nourishing way to treat acne!). I'm truly so thankful that I found your channel and that you have shared your personal journey towards skin health so openly. Obviously everyone's root cause of acne varies but I think mine was very similar to yours and now you've actually changed my life. My whole body just feels happier. Thank you thank you!!
Thank you for sharing and just ordered the B complex you use. I take Dr Ohhira probiotic the professional formula any thoughts on this one? Also Vit C with zinc gluc, Omega 3 Purepharma, Dlux Vit D Better for you, Magnesium xxx
Lara Nee are you thinkin to add supplement such as Zinc, Vit C and Vit D/ Vit B can reduce acne and improve skin health? Or any other recommend? And whats dosage? Am starting to adding some supplement daily but not sure yet which one its best. Need some thoughts and advice
I’ve suffered hormonal acne for many years did a lot of research, started taking Glutathione as my supplement, have more vegetables and avoid sugar, dairy etc.... it works!!!
Collagen also
me too
Glutathione is very dangerous whether ingested internally or applied topically
@@itsjustme3913 why is that seen alot of reviews about the benefits. Have you had any negative experience? Just bought the liposmal gluthathione
Iyenemi Whyte no. I’ve never used it because I’ve seen doctors saying negative things about it. Glutathione is a brightening/whitening agent and that’s why dermatologists prescribe it for their patients who have acne scars and severe hyperpigmentation. There’s a % that’s safe and that’s why it’s only a doctor prescribed thing.
Buying it over the counter, is very dangerous therefore I wouldn’t recommend it. As for the one you’ve just bought, go see a doctor and let them tell you whether it’s safe or not. Better safe than sorry
i took zinc when i was 19 years old and it helped a TON, seriously try it out. it's also inexpensive
How many mg a day? :)
Kylie Smith how much and for how long please
Kylie Smith whats brand your zinc supplement you consume? And whats dosage?
I take 50 mg a day with 1200 mg of fish oil. Also apply aloe vera gel and my acne is not even 5% as bad as it used to be. I would feel uncomfortable even taking my shirt off but now its not even an issue
hi Renee, it is so helpful. but are you taking this five at the same time? or could you recommend the order for these supplements
Hi Renee, please let us know when to take them, because i think that is very important, especially with Probiotics, when do you think its best? I hear mixed things on morning/night with/without food. Please help! Thanks so much for this video, i feel that this is one of the most helpful videos you've made so far:)
I’m also curious about this
Guys she said in her description that she does drink them everyday only in different times. Some needed to be taken on an empty stomach and some after eating
It depends on your supplement and the directions. Some may require an empty stomach while others require food. Yes, I take these daily. I take the zinc in phases when I feel my immunity needs a boost.
Gothamista so you dont consume your zinc everyday? But to others is yes?
I currently take a women’s multivitamin, zinc, vitamin c, evening primrose oil, probiotics, and milk thistle which i hear is great for removing toxins that lead to acne☺️ I have also read that chlorella and spirulina are great as well
glowingmyway and was it effective for you?
Have been taking Omega 3 and Vitamin B6 every single day, thanks for the enlightenment about D and Zinc! Didn't know Zinc is so cool :)
Nutritional Yeast is you best source for your B Complex Vitamins - One tablespoon of nutritional yeast contains 180% of the RDI for B vitamins.
how to use this yeast plz tell me
Brekhna Yousaf dont bother. Nutritional yeast and also mess up your gut biome. Especially if you have candida
I love how informative your videos are and you are so beautiful 💕
for me Saw massive results after omega 3
that and mulitvitamins
oh i love taking some extra magnesium to help lower stress levels and keep stress acne away
Magnesium is a miracle ! It relaxes me so much!
I remember when Renee's channel had just about 70K subscribers, and now it's over 200K! Congrats, Renee, you truly deserve it!
You’re absolutely right. I personally take zinc, probiotics in food (i.e. kimchi, sauerkraut, pickled olives), D3+ K2, b-complex, vegan omega 3, and glutathione and my skin is FLAWLESS!
But kimchi is spicy is that okay ? And u buy kimchi at supermarket or you do it yourself?
Good to know. I started taking supplements a few months ago ( the ones you mentioned and more ) and I do notice a difference on my skin. My acne has almost completely disappeared. Hopefully in the near future I can finally see my skin back to its healthy self.
So basically all these?
Zinc, Probiotic, B6 or b-complex, Omega 3, D3
I use vitamin c, glutathione, milk thistle & evening prime rose oil
And I bet you rarely get sick right? N-acetylcysteine is amazing! (Glutathione)
Hi thank you so much for this video :) how can I know if am lacking Zinc, other vitamins,probiotics and Omega3? What test should I do?
Thanks again
I take Magnesium + Zinc for a good boost to my immune system and I just find that it really works for me, helps with energy levels and stress. Also, I used to take Biotin for hair (stopped now, but want to go back to it) and some Fountain Molecules from deciem! I'm currently loving the Geek Molecule and I quite enjoyed the Beauty Molecule, but seen more results from the Geek one.
Thank you for the video! You look great, as always!
This was wonderful. With the exception of vitamin B, I take all of those as well as evening primrose oil (as suggested by my dermatologist) and Magnesium - which helps not only with skin concerns but also preventatively against depressive symptoms due to pms or predisposal. High impact exercise also leads me to take Glucosamine & Chondroitine for joint care. I used to also take dr. Brandt’s green tea concentrate before it was discontinued. I really really miss it, as I am sensitive to caffeine and that product was decaffeineted and highly concentrated, meaning you would get a much larger dose of green tea than you could possibly drink in a day. If you can recommend an alternative I would be grateful! 🙏
Hi Renee, you are so elegant and beautiful here! My condolences on what happened with your dad. I'm sure he's proud of you for the kind of person you've grown into. Stay strong!
Also, I want to thank you for creating this great channel. I have been getting so many compliments about my skin and it was all hard earned work and research and your channel was the only one I can rely on for solid advice. Thank you so much renee. I dont now you personally but from your channel I can tell that you are an amazing person and so generous for sharing what you know. I dont feel the need to consult a Derma because i have learned to "listen" to mys skin and your advice from your channel is top on my very short list.
Take care always renee. You have a big fan base here in the philippines!
Thanks for your Information✌ you look so flawless and I love how you speak👏
I always love how informative you are!
Thank you Mary!
When do you take them though? All together at once?
Everything that you mentioned aside from probiotics are supplements needed for the liver to properly function ! What I’ve noticed anything that helps the liver usually clears my acne ! Dirty liver equals acne
Your skin looks AMAZING, it just looks more beautiful in every video!! I recommend your channel to everyone I know. So they can educate themselves about their skin and skincare. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!🦋
You are a sweetheart!
I do the same! I'm a skincare junkie so I'm always on other skincare channels spreading the word about/recommending Renee's channel😍
Best thing is yo feed your gut bacteria with fruit/ veggie in the form Of smoothies really feeds gut bacteria ☺
Evening primrose oil works better for mood.
Evening primrose oil has helped my acne and also helped make my formerly irregular monthly cycle regular 😌
Can you make a video of cleansers (both steps) that you recommend for each skin type
Devin Mera
I really love this Renée! These are the exact supplements my family are taking to support overall health! For us, it's not only great for the skin but also for gut health to help IBS, new allergies and fatigue symptoms. I'm so happy that you are sharing this and more people can be aware how they can support not only their skin but also their overall health!
You're skin glows and looks hydrated!
After seeing several youtubers recommend zinc to help with acne, I began taking that Bluebonnet 50mg zinc supplement. Eventually after taking it every day for a couple of weeks, I began feeling sicker and sicker. I could not get thru the day without multiple naps. I finally became concerned when I began vomiting due to extreme nausea a few times a day maybe once or twice a week At first I thought it was from not taking with food but it happened WITH food as well! Long story short (too late), 50mg is a pretty high dose of zinc. It was too much for me apparently and I've been fine ever since stopping. Just throwing that out there, because it took me months and a lot of torment to figure out what was happening. Definitely be cautious with these things. 😉
Casey W. 50 mg is what skindoctors prescribe When you have extremely bad acne but and here comes a Big but mine said that many people cant tolerate more than 15 to 25 so she recommended starting out high and then going lower and divide it up in two doses lunch and dinner and take it with food always plus also do it in cures ie 3 months stop give it 2-3 months start again . So unfortunatly much more complicated than you might Think and as you’ve noticed to much and not divided and you Will get as sick as a dog
Was it Zinc depot or regular?
...But was your skin clear?
@@jaritamccully3797 the important question haha
Too much zinc, about 40 or more mgs everyday, will lower copper and make you'll feel sick. We need some copper.
For melasma please suggest?
Great video! I take most of those supplements too and in addition to these I take pycnogenol and tumeric.
I'd like to hear your thoughts about collagen pills
I have been doing some research on B 12 viatmins and I found out that It causes acne in some people with acne prone skin to break out more. Can you do a video more on B 12 viatmins please .
B12 definitely made me break out ..bad!
Turmeric supplements and they have definitely reduced my acne significantly ! Can't wait to try the Zinc and balanced b complex
Silica is also awesome for the skin....
Horsetail tea does wonders
Angelique Skerritt yes and Baobab tea too...
Angelique Skerritt Isn't silica pore clogging? I'm literally running from a product everytime I see Dimethicone,Silicone,Silica etc. Am I wrong?
Beyza Aydın silica is one of the vitamins your skin is made from...the older we get the less our skin absorbs this vitamin ...as a result we get wrinkles cause the collagen is not being fed .....I think its the combination of things why u broke out..... An often times that silica in the product is synthetic...... So work from the inside out .....look at the blood that's what carries oxygen to the skin ...if the liver is not doing a good job of cleaning because of the toxic buildup. the blood will carry all the waste round an around the body an it will often times show in the skin......so look into herbs to clean the blood.. What worked for me was burdock an dandelion capsules also red clover work in combination to clear all my acne...horsetail tea will strengthen the skin ...u can go online an research all of these items..... Also I use Castor oil to cleanse no harsh soap feed your skin with natural ingredients
Angelique Skerritt Thank you for enlightening me! It maybe not the silica itself but the combination I don't know but most of the sunscreen broke me out😏 I'm drinking spearmint and green tea and sometimes lavender and camomile😍 Thanks for the recommendation. Definitely try these 😍
Hi Rene. Thank you for this information-packed video. I am struggling with hormonal acne on my chin since early twenties ( I am in my early 30s now). After going to numerous dermatologists and trying numerous pills and creams I am ready for a different, more holistic approach. I have been so disappointed with all the "professionals" in the field thus far. I live in NYC as well, and was wondering if you would share contacts for your Dr of Integrative and functional medicine.
Renée, I have never previously commented on a TH-cam video, however, after having subscribed & watched your channel for a few months I, too, just had to let you know how grateful I am to have found you!
Your elegance, wonderful personable demeanour, and knowledge of science based skincare is breath of fresh air! Please always continue to do what you do ❤️
Aw Sarah, this means so much to me! Thank you for commenting, as someone who isn't a 'commenter' myself, I can really appreciate the gesture. Thank you for the love girl!
Gothamista I’m so happy to see your reply! You are most welcome and you’re such a sweetheart 💕
Hi Renee.. if would be great if you could share your latest supplements intake for 2020.. cheers! 🥰
I did not know that about probiotics! Thanks for the informative info :D
I think Zinc also (and this is so crudely simplified) helps regulate one's insulin, which is also a sex hormone that directly interacts/moderates other sex hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and androgens :) that's the summarized tid-bit I got from a doctor who explained it way more eloquently than I can.
I'm taking Omega 3, Vitamin C, Milk Thistle, and Turmeric
Wonderful! I used to take milk thistle too, amazing antioxidant!
Which supplement brand is more helpful and natural for taking daily
what is milk thistle?
Thank you" I take vitamin B complex, zinc, c, D3 liquid iodine, b5 probiotics 30- billion
I take Vitamin D, B-complex, fish oil, turmeric, chlorophyll, and probiotics and my acne/redness hasn't changed at all. I eat a relatively clean and balanced diet with limited dairy and meat, I sleep 7 hours a night, and exercise daily, yet I STILL have pervasive skin problems. Not sure what to do anymore.
Kait Gardner , it could be that your acne could be fungal based rather than hormonal. Or it could be aggravated by a damaged moisture barrier or an ingredient in your skin care that you react poorly to. I hope these ideas help you
Keep up with the healthy practices but you must make sure your skin is strong enough to resist bacteria. So be gentle, don't over exfoliate, over-cleanse or go over board with drying topical treatments. Have patience love, skin takes time to heal.
Thanks! I might be using AHAs and BHAs too frequently. Does using a Clarisonic twice a day count as over exfoliating?
Thanks, I'm certainly going to investigate it
Yes, try not using a clarisonic and chill with the acids. Perhaps limit to a few times a week and see how it goes after some time.
B12 helps the body to absorb iron
Renee are you sure you can't eat pizza ever day and take these supplements to balance it all out?😅😅😅. Wouldn't that be a dream! Wonderful video, Wow so informative and precise. Thank u.
Jennifer Lee just and dont gain weight too that would be a dream come true for me!!
I've recently got on to Vitamin A for acne. I was on accutane and had a good run of being relatively acne free for about 5 months after the course of accutane was complete. Now I am trying solgar vitamin A for a similar effect. I don't know if it'll work, been two weeks and I've had some hormonal breakouts already.
hi renee! i think this is my favorite video of yours that you have ever posted. i liked that you thoroughly did your research on the supplements instead of just taking them for their claims :)
Thank you Tiffany! Science can make lots of claims but if they don't work and break me out, then it's no good
Vitamin A and E as well as D3 and remove sugar from the diet as well as most processed carbs although I do ok with white rice.
Thank you!!! You made me understand so much
Hey.. i just wanted to ask that i hv been taking B Complex for about a week and i saw another video about it , There are many comments on it that B vitamins can cause really bad acne although I didn’t notice anything on my face other than the old acne..So i wanted to ask is that true? Should i stop taking it?Please let me know
As a hormonal acne sufferer, this couldn't come at the perfect time. I am loving your videos Renee. Its very informative and well reaearched. Keep up the good work!! :)
Thank you Julie!
Are these specifically for women or does it not matter?
Thank you for always sharing your knowledge about how to take care of our skin, you really helped me a lot. God bless you always! ❤️
My skin is dry and i have got pigmentation on face after pregnancy .. plzz suggest me supplements am 32ys
So helpful! I've been taking the Garden Of Life Once Daily 30 Billion probiotic for a bit over a month and was thinking about adding an omega 3 supplement as well, still looking into that! Could you do a separate video on clogged pores and closed comedones? I suffer from them pretty extremely after waxing my face months and months ago but they won't seem to go away since😩
yeah waxing is nuts on the pores.
Have you seen a difference in your skin since taking the probiotic?
i too suffer from closed comedones :( but try tree tea oil, it helps a bit!
How abt probiotics with digestive enzyme
What supplement would you recommend for rosacea and Sun spots?
For rosacea vitamin a, zinc, and probiotics for sun spots vitamin e vitamin b2 and probiotics hope was helpful
dear Rene. .what do you think about hyaluronic acid supplimens? works? got clear but unfortunately dry dehydrated skin. ..♡
Don't know but may start trying one soon to find out.
me too . wanna try...please let me know what product would be your choice. ..for me it must be vegan typ. ..hope I will be able to find ( india but not indian) I would be the perfect example. .guess not easy to find someone more dehydrated than me ;)
looking forward to hear from you ♡
Hi Maam! Do you take all these vitamins in one day?
As always your videos are so informative, timely and draw attention to a "wholistic" approach to beautiful skin and health. I've taken supplements my whole life and I work in natural health and ingredients are my thing etc. I will mention one thing, Zinc is great but it depletes copper (good for skin) so you want to look for zinc supplements that contain copper. They are available. I also like BCAA's (yes, for sports guys but so much good stuff) and I am a huge fan of L Glutamine. Agree on the EPO, you breakout....for a while. Then it should stabilize. But its really tricky. Borage oil is great for skin as is Sea Buckthorn. Probiotics are good and I live in Canada so I take a brand called Bio K (rice version, not dairy) and it's fermented 50 billion. Just make sure to take your Vit D with fats (fat soluble) and Vitamin B & C can be taken anytime (water soluble.) I love love Mega Foods and I take the Balanced B. Because it's Food State, its so easy to digest and can be taken on an empty stomach. I think food state vitamins are pretty great overall to be honest. Sorry for the long note ladies....
This was extremely helpful. Thank you so much!
Rena! Thank you for all this wonderful and super helpful information! I love it, you're the best!
Rena Dempsey hi! Not real sure about the 'copper'. Bcs i want to start consume zinc (picolinate) 20mg a day to reduce my breakout, is that ok or shud i adding other supplement to balance it?
You give so beautiful tips for people i m very happy for that thank You🙏🏼
Is the dermatologist the best source to find what you’re deficient in, or who would you recommend? Great video, I appreciate all the information! I’ve enjoyed your channel!
you can get your blood checked at a doctor and they could see if your deficient in something though i heard it's expensive in some parts of the world to get those tests
Annual physical bloodwork can indicate deficiencies too
I’m 54 y/o my everyday vitamins is avocado, i shake, i eat it 2 small size of avocado 2x a week with my lacto free milk, and my skin starts to glow.,thats what I notice😊❤️
Yes! I cannot have cow's milk unless it is hard, aged cheese.
I love your content! New subbie :)
Thanks for the very informative and helpful tips!!!👍👍👍☺️☺️☺️💝💗💙💛💜💚
Will you pleeease do a review onThe Beauty Chef powders??
I was deficient in zinc (just below the lower end of the range) due to years of being a vegetarian (I quit due to leaky gut and loads of deficiencies I developed on this diet). But at first I did not make the connection to my late acne in the chin area that I aquired after quitting birth control. I literally got new spots every day for many years and almost every blemish cream or kind of specific skincare made my skin break out additionally. The only serum and moisturizer that didn‘t clog my pores was from an UK based natural brand that has an acne blemish prone skin care line. I ordered it half across europe. My late acne was still there. Then I finally found the endurance to take zinc on a daily basis mainly to improve impaired immune function because of the zinc deficiency. After 60 days of 50mg zinc gluconate daily I started to notice a difference in skin texture and less break outs. I got a blood test too and was a little bit above the lower range. It takes very long to cure a zinc deficiency. Now after 4 month I have almost no blemishes on the chin anymore, it‘s like a miracle to me. On some days I almost forgot to apply make up since my skin looked so even. I have to say I tried true retinol from cod liver oil too for a month several month ago (high dose) but it did not help with acne. D3 high dose also did nothing for my acne but for other ailments. Get a blood test for D3 and zinc before you start any of it and get blood work done later on to make sure to reach and maintain normal levels. Retinol deficiency (vitamin a) also can induce acne but do not use beta carotene (lots of people can not convert it to retinol) or sythetic retinol (poisonous) if you are deficient (there is a blood test too). Forget about all the synthetic and harmful creams dermatologist describe you need to dig deeper and find out what nutrients the body is missing or what hormone inbalances there are. Btw I healed my leaky gut by a high animal products diet (carnivore mostly) that reduced my inflammation in the body greatly. Also contributed to getting my rosacea under control.
I have PCOS and suffer from hormonal acne. I visited a gynecologist and asked if there was anything I could do to help regulate my cycles after they were messed up by the pill (and of course my acne had came back). He suggested I take a supplement called Inofert, which contains inositol (a vitamin B) and folic acid. He said it would help regulate my cycles and also work great on my hormonal acne. I also read online it really helped other people like me. Well, that didn't go as planned! Although it worked wonders on my cycle, from the third day of taking it I started breaking out on my forehead (which I never did before, I mostly break out on my cheeks and chin). After taking them for about 2 months, my skin was so bad I could not believe it. It kinda looked like cystic acne because it was inflamed and would hurt so much!! My skin was at its worst (plus it was summer and the sun and heat did not help at all). I cried every day. When I stoped taking it, my skin slowly came back to normal, but with lots of hyperpigmentation left. So you should always consider that just because something helps some people, it may not work for you as well
Look into Organic Olivia's Parapro supplement. I've had severe hormonal acne for years and have even been on Accutane and that's the only thing that helped me along with taking a probiotics and lysine like she suggests. She's on TH-cam
Lena Chatz I heard B vitamins in general break people out. Idk why though
Thank you for the information everyone!
Ella Schroth i was super curious about her supplements! I got weirded out and felt like it was a little pseudo sciencie and it's kind of expensive so got scared away. Also wasn't sure if it would really help a mere mortal like me since my diet isn't amazing and I don't really exercise. How long did it take for you to start seeing results?
Laura Shible this is great! I will give this a try, I hope everything goes well for you :)
D3 and zinc calcium are all great to clear eczema and dry itchy skin thank you for your video
I take magnesium at night to help me sleep, and it seems to be working. My sleep will never be perfect (and I'm perimenopausal which makes it even worse!) but it's certainly much better after 6 weeks of magnesium.
Yes Magnesium is a miracle worker for helping me be calm and relaxed enough to sleep!
Magnesium glycinate 💤
hye can i take 1000 mg omega 3 fish oil each day while im consuming vit c + zinc 1000 mg at the same time ? ohh also before breakfast , can i take pre & probiotics ? please reply me
Yay! I was just putting supplements in my cart and your video helped me refine my choices! Thank you Renee 😬
Maam, im taking evening primrose everyday, is there any problem that im taking this , im a male im taking this because im sufferring of hormonal acne. Im taking omega 6. I need an advice maam, but somehow my acne gets better right now rather than before that i was not taking it.
A timely video, thanks again Renee
Very nice
Renee, have you tried vitamin A in your mix of supplements to help with acne?
Vitamin A does not work alone. I recommend having turmeric every day
@@aprilroseabines9040 whats that?
Wondering, have you tried collagen or read the hype about it?
Hi My dear Renne, one of your oldest quiet subscriber, have been watching you and so happy to see you with two hundred thousand over subscribers which you truly deserve and much more, you are simply the best n beautiful too; Thank you for sharing your supplements as always a great video, Bee 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍
Hey Bee! Thank you for always being so supportive and lovely!
this is so interesting! I actually didn't know that vitamin deficiency could cause acne! This might be why I always have 2x more acne during school semester than during holidays like christmas and summer. I tend to not eat very healthy and very balanced meal during school (like I don't remember the last time I ate a fruit) so maybe these supplements could help me ( i know I also have to change my habits of eating no so good food too )
Ive taken vit d3 and zinc picolinate and it helped a lot with my hormonal acne. Ive noticed that my acne was not as inflamed as they were before and they really helped in drying them up faster. Now I'll look for the b complex and probiotic capsules because my regular intake of chia seeds cover my omega 3 consumption. Thanks for the recommendation Renee!! 😊
Kate G. Whats dossge you consume from Vit D and Zinc? Iam planning to take any supplement to help my acne and skin health. Consider to Vit B, Vit D, Vit C or Zinc. Which one you thinks it best?
Raiza Nisa H Hi! Right now Im taking 500mg of vit c, 30 mg of zinc picolinate and 400 IU of vit d3 im still on the look out for the b complex and probiotics. I just think one vitamin isnt enough to solve the problem. Also take a look at your diet, Ive noticed that cutting out sugar/ refined carbs helped tremendously. Hope this helps 😊
Kate G. Zinc picolinate its more better than gluconate aite? Not really know more about the probiotic in form of pill. Yes i cut dairy sugar gluten bein half vegan but nothing much so i thought i need more to balance my 'inside' (but not accutane or any others drug) am consider to take all your vitamin that u alreay consume. Is it VitD3 affected to ur acne?
Raiza Nisa H I cant say which one is the best because Ive started taking them all at the same time and Ive noticed a big difference from when I wasnt taking vitamins and the result after I took them.. plus i read that the picolinated form of zinc is better absorbed by the body than the gluconate one.
Kate G. Hi! May i know what brand from ur supplement? Been thinking to grab it from puritan pride/ nature's health. And are you taking those supplement at the same time? After meal at the morning?
Sourkraut for the win! Thank you for an amazing video
Can I still take a multivitamin with these supplements?
I'm wondering about this as well
Like she said in the beginning, I would talk to your doctor before adding certain supplements to your diet. While some excess of certain vitamins and minerals are flushed out of your body each day, certain ones (ex. Vitamin D) are stored. So I would figure out what the best options for YOU are. You may be able to, but it could mean your doctor would want you to take a certain multivitamin along with other supplements, since some multivitamins have more of (or added) a specific vitamin or mineral in them. I hope this helps!
Sarah Stroud yeh! Defs see your doctor. Things like omega 3 is anti inflammatory which is good for fighting acne but since it's anti inflammatory it can impair wound healing or worsen certain conditions. That's why vitamins should be tailored according to your health status! Also, some of these multivitamins might not have adequate amounts of certain vitamins. You could be lacking in iron and may need a high dose of iron tablets, etc :)!
Hey Sarah, I agree with these brilliant women here. I am personally not a believer of multi vitamins. I find supplementing where I'm deficient far more effective. Drs can generally tell you where you're deficient from blood tests and the integrative ones can tell you what might help from symptoms.
Multi vitamins are generally junk and you may be taking nutrients you don't need thereby causing further imbalance. Target your deficiencies 'gently' i.e. don't take massive doses unless indicated for a serious condition. Also where possible eat your nutrients in food.
I have had really bad Atopic Dermatitis since I was a child. Recent 8 years I have had occasional flare-ups that were gone after max 4 days. This time I was suffering a lot for over a month and a half with constant redness, itchiness, flakiness, patchy rashes and cracked skin around cracked corners of the mouth..I have not had as bad skin in over 8 years! I had dermatitis around my face and on my hands. I tried many creams prescripted by dermatologists but as soon as it started to get a bit better it got worse the next day. I was keeping a diet - diary and gluten free. But nothing really helped.
I stopped using pescripted creams and started trying different home remedies. I can finally say that my skin cleared up and what worked the best for me is taking MSM and B-complex. I still cannot believe how magically it worked after using it just over 2 weeks. I have not had such beautiful skin in years!
What I also do is drink a mix of table spoon (using plastic or wooden one) full of honey and a tea spoon of turmeric in warm water before eating in the morning; drink green tea (I order mine from China); do face massage and face yoga on daily basis and stress as less as possible. Taking magnesium is also very good to take in stress period but for me working out and be active helps me so so much. When it comes to creams I do tend to change it after a month or two (when the climate changes) but right now I use pure Vaseline and in the evening I also put a few drops of rosehip oil in it. It leaves my skin super soft.
I know this video is more for acne treatment but anyone with atopic dermatitis this is what works the best for me :)
thank u....
Also, I'm a bit confused. If you are taking probiotics that thrive in the gut, wouldn't they just keep replicating by themselves? Why is it needed to continuously take the probiotic supplements? (I'm actually asking, not trying to be confrontational in case that doesn't come across well.)
Good question!
Because sometimes you have 'bad bacteria' in your gut which can reduce the amount of good bacteria and flush them out so you have to repeatedly take good bacteria in order to fight them. Also the junk food or any unhealthy foods will lower the effectiveness of good bacteria so clean diet is necessary. Hope this helps :)
I think it's good to start with supplements, but then keep it healthy with fermented food and sometimes enzymes pills (if you overeat or something). It's not only about bad bacterias, it's also about the power of all those digestion processes, which gets slower as you age.
This is a great question, and like Andela said, it's about maintenance. So many things affect the balance of bacterial flora in our guts, things like stress, the food we eat, the chlorine in our drinking water etc. basically our modern day lives support the growth and maintenance of bad bacteria. So we need to replenish the good ones everyday.
