The saying, 'Vitamin E Zinc Acne' refers to the role of
vitamin E and Zinc in the treatment or prevention of acne. These two
are very beneficial in the prevention of acne. One thing to know about
vitamin E is that, its deficiency does not cause any disease in the
body, and its presence helps in maintaining healthy skin by eliminating
the harmful free radicals, generated during cellular metabolism. It also
helps in skin recovery from acne scarring. It reduces the appearance of
scars due to Acne, as well. Retinol levels in the body are regulated by
vitamin E, which is essential for healthy skin, mucous membrane and
proper vision.
Vitamin E is related to vitamin
A, as deficiency of vitamin E would lead to low levels of vitamin A in
your body, as well. Also, vitamin E is essential for its interactions
with Selenium, which is an important antioxidant trace mineral. So, acne
can be diminished by the proper supplementation of vitamin E and
Selenium in your diet.
Zinc is equally an essential nutrient for
the healthy skin. Zinc is essential for the proper metabolism of
Testosterone, as low levels of Zinc increase the conversion to DTH from
Testosterone, which stimulates the production of Sebum and Keratin.
These in turn are the primary factors for causing acne. Some forms of
Zinc like effervescent Zinc and Zinc gluconate are very effective. Zinc
is essential for the absorption of vitamin A and it also regulates the
level of vitamin E in the blood. It also boosts the immune system and
helps in killing the acne bacteria.
Zinc synthesizes proteins and
protects the body from free radicals, also triggers the birth of new
white blood cells. Food sources of Zinc include poultry, dairy, wheat
germ, liver, whole grains, sea food, sunflower seeds and many more.
