Acne is a part of life for so many young people everywhere. It does not have to be this way, or at least not as severe in some cases. Zinc is a very important nutrient for acne-free skin and is e ectively used by many people to cure acne. It is involved in the production and release of various hormones. It promotes the production of good prostaglandins, thereby reducing in ammation and controlling the production of oil and sebum by the oil glands. Furthermore, it helps heal the skin and prevent scarring. Zinc is especially important for the eyes, liver, bones, prostate, and hair, and is highly concentrated in those areas. Antagonism Zinc competes with calcium and iron, but mostly with copper, for absorption. When supplementing zinc in higher doses, it may be necessary to raise copper intake as well, to prevent copper depletion. Experts recommend 1mg copper per 10mg zinc. However, many men, especially with low testosterone, are su ering from a high copper to zinc imbalance and might therefore bene t more from zinc alone without copper. High dose zinc supplementation (exceeding 100mg per day) should only be done temporarily, as needed. David Nissen Nutritional Consultant
