vitamins for skin care and weight management

I'm a fan of easy fixes, the less work involved the better!  So it's no surprise that I'm a fan of vitamins to help with weight management and skin care.  Here's a short list of supplements/vitamins that have worked for me or I've seen work in others.  Please feel free to add your own in the comments!

Acidophiles: Helps regulate your digestive track.  For those multitudes of women who are stopped up... this means pooping more, and that's beautiful.

B2: Vitamin B2 helps break down carbohydrates, fats, and protein for use by the body. Its role in maintaining an energy supply for the body is crucial, as it helps convert carbohydrates into a compound needed to store energy in muscles.

B5: This amazing vitamin has been proven to cure acne and reduce pore size.  Cell multiplication increases with B5 and the regenerated cells restore the wounded area.

B12: One of the most popular B Vitamins.  It's a co enzyme that is necessary to metabolize fats and carbohydrates. It  assists in  proper digestion and absorption of foods, and gives increased energy. 

B Complex: This is a combination of all eight B Vitamins in one pill.  While it's not necessary to ingest all of these vitamins, the Super B Complex might be an easy option for those that want to lower the amount of pills they're taking daily.  The downfall of B-Complex is that you're getting less of the B Vitamins you want and more of those you don't.

CoQ10: I love this stuff and I think anyone over the age of 25 should take it because as we get older we produce less on our own.  This vitamin helps produce 95% of your body's energy and helps neutralize the free radicals that kill collagen and elastin.  It is also has many heart and health benefits.

D: This is known as the sunshine vitamin and like the sun, can greatly improve your outlook on life and boost your metabolism. But unlike the sun it won't give you skin cancer, heeey!  Great for those with seasonal depression.  Can be taken in a pill combined with Calcium for ease.

E: Vitamin E is an immune system booster and it fights free radicals, helping to keep your skin young and vibrant as well as fight off scarring.  Very low doses are recommended for digestion so if you decided to take this supplement, do you research/ask a doctor.

Omega 3: This stuff can make you smart and I think that's a beautiful thing.  Omega 3 has too many benefits to list so check out omega-3.us for more information on this wonderful supplement. 

legal mumbo jumbo: please check with your doctor before beginning any new vitamin routine yada yada yada...
