I have been doing a lot of research online about zinc and have decided to use chelated zinc as it seems to be the most effective brand. But I do not know which one to use. Do I need tablets, capsules, or does it not matter? I am going to be taking 50 -75 mg of zinc for acne treatment theb lower it to 50 qnd continue until I reach 30 mg or so. Please I really need some advice on which brand to take and what type of pills. Thank you!

Thank you so much, I feel a bit better knowing that I may have a few more options to try out. My last question is do you take it with a meal or not? I have been taking it with a meal . -

I have been taking zinc picolinate for more than 2 weeks now and I don't really notice much of a difference. The first week my acne cleared but I am still getting spots and I am so sick of it!! I don't see much results and I am considering upping the dosage to 75 - 100 mg and see if that works. The pills I used to take don't work anymore and I am becoming very frustrated. I used to know someone with severe acne that tok 100mg of zinc and their face went from bad to clear!!! Can I take 100mg or mqybe even 75mg of zinc and see how that goes? Please I really need advice!

I am in need of a bit more assistance please.

I have cut out a lot of my dairy intake and I have also cut back a lot on sugar, but even that doesn't always help. I think I will try weaning off it one month, my body reacts badly if I drastically change a routine even as simple as stopping a pill. I appreciate your input, thank you very much!! :001_smile: -
Ok so I know I am going to start zinc soon, I just haven't had the money to purchase it. But now I do and will be starting it as soon as I can purchase it. To wean myself off of the antibiotic I am on for acne though has me stumped. As of now I take 150mg of Minocycline and I want to reduce it to 100 mg this month along with 50 mg of zinc at night. Then next month begin reducing my medication to 50 mg in the morning qnd qbout 40 mg of zinc at night along with another vitamin added into my diet like vitqmin A. The reduce my medicine to only 50 mg every other day along with vitamin a, zinc, vitamin c, d, e and burdock root tea. And in the ladt month completely eliminate my medicine from my diet snd continue with all my othet vitamins. Does this sound alright? I just need a little guidance and knew this would be a good place to start. I will also be continuing with cleansing my face and doing a host of other things to maintain a clear complextion. Thank you! (sorry for the sloppy typing, doing this from my phone and super busy!)

Could someone please give me some advice?

This makes absolute perfect sense, and it it is whqt I will be doing. I am going to start zinc, and then slowly add in burdock root tea and a hormonal tea for women. Vitamin A and E were also recommended to me to clear skin, but I will try the zinc first. Thank you all for you help! -

Hmm I never tried the raw honey. Would that be used everyday? And what is a toner? I am going to try the zinc asap and see if that will help. Thank you! -

Quitting the pills and getting bad acne again. I wil try kelp and burdock root and the zinc while slowly weaning myself off the pills. Thank you for your recommendations! -

No I have not tried kelp, would it be of use and women's freedom tea might help as well. I am just so nervous! -

I have but it just isn't working either.......:confused: -
I am going to stop taking oral antibiotics for my acne soon. They are not working and they make me very tired and somewhat lightheaded when standing. I am going to give zinc a try, along with goldenseel, burdock root tea, bentonite clay (as a drink) and possibly a probiotic. Hopefully I will be able to make it to the store this afternoon. But I admit I am a bit frightened about weaning myself off of the medicine, what if all I try doesn't work? I mean it is a bit scary thinking about it and what my face could turn out too, but then what do I have to lose? Would this be enough? Is there anything else I can try? I am so desperate for a solution! And sorry to keep asking so many questions!:bigear::bigear:

Acne cured thanks to The Hive
LuvingLife replied to Barb_'s topic in General Education Discussion Board
I am going to give this a try as I too suffer from moderate acne. No amount of dermatologists has helped, and even if it did it was only a temporary fix. Once I go off of it, the acne always comes back!! The information given is wonderful and I pray my face will turn out clear. I cannot wait for the day I can have a clear face without the help of coverup.;)
