Dietary Triggers - Supplements

Concerned about calcium and vitamin D?

Eat lots of dark green veggies and take supplements with calcium citrate, magnesium, and vitamin D.

Vitamin D also has an antiinflammatory property Having adequate levels of vitamin D in your system may help address the inflammatory symptoms of acne. Taking vitamin D supplements could also be an alternative way of treating recurrent acne that appears red and inflamed

The body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium. Without enough vitamin D, one can't form enough of the hormone calcitriol (known as the “active vitamin D”) This in turn leads to insufficient calcium absorption from the diet

Magnesium

It lowers cortisol production, which then helps reduce acne by stabilizing hormonal imbalances in the body. It's all connected magnesium helps your blood sugar stay balanced, it aids sleep, and it also plays a role in the production of progesterone, oestrogen, and testosterone.

Furthermore, this powerful mineral directly reduces skin inflammation by lowering the plasma concentrations of C-reactive protein, a protein connected to the inflammation process within your body. By taking magnesium with calcium you have a better chance of improving the absorption and utilization of this mineral
