Reclaim Your Skin

Hi,

Supplements i take are Zinc (15mg) 1 or 2 daily tis helps skin they say, a supplement called GMX which has Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM and Vitamin C (3 a day) these are primarily for joints, experienced no pain yet but ive heard some do so i take these as preventative maintenance, i also take Flaxseed Oil as this helps joints too, similar to Cod Liver Oil but without the vitamin A content. As for foods to avoid i’ve not been told to avoid anything and still eat as i was before, which is pretty healthy, if not even healthier than before i started Roaccutane. Also i’ve started drinking Green Tea as it aids your body in detoxifying and Vitamin A is classed as a toxin (i maybe think too much about all this stuff) but fingers crossed side effect at present are mnimal, still going to the gym 5 times a week and on my bike for 50-60mile bikes rides on the weekend with no stiffness in the joints, which was a main concern of mine before starting the course.

Cheese,

Dan.

Hi Laura, Tesco do a green tea with berries, it tastes good, just add a bit of honey. I know what you mean about some of it tasting rank. Theres loadsa different sorts at the supermarket now and apparently white tea is even better for you, contains less caffeine too so its ok to drink at night.

All the best anywho,

Hi Sam,

Green Tea is fine to take, this is not at all going to stress the Liver at all. There’s a green tea you can can get from Sainsury’s that contins Milk Thislte and Dandelion etc (its aboout 2 quid) but is really good for you-never heard of green tea tablets, sorry. But they should be fine whilst on R+. But on another note, instead of taking green tea tabs, just have green tea. It dont taste shit if yiu have proper stuff……honest.

any questions on supplemsnts etc drop me an email at dan_spare@hotmail.com any Q’s at all and i’ll be happy to help.

Cheers,

Dan.
