Primarily, I do not consider any vitamin for acne supplement will ever be able to cure your acne alone. It matters little whether it consists of b5 overdose therapy, vitamin a or zinc or a combination of both – the result is the same.

Vitamin brand ratings of the top 25 multi vitamin supplements selected by an independent qualified health authority from over 1,000 American and Canadian vitamin supplements.

Take note that unless the vitamin supplement you’re using is of a certain quality, your body will not be able to benefit from it, no matter what the label says. The following brand of vitamin supplements are regarded as “high quality”,  meaning they meet US standards for absorbability, safety, potency and purity.  The list is culled from the book “Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements” by Lyle MacWilliam, BSc, MSc, FP.

The Problem With Most Vitamin Supplements

The problem with the vitamin supplements is the vitamin supplements industry itself is is a deregulated industry, meaning the FDA Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) cannot control what products come out of the market. You will only find the ODS in action after consumer complaints. While there is nothing wrong with deregulation (they keep prices affordable), the lack of control has caused huge problems, including:

* Many multivitamins not having sufficient quantities of their ingredients to be effective,
* Vitamins that are not absorbable by the body,
* Vitamin supplements that do not match their labels
* A lack of information on the dangers and risks of taking vitamin supplements
