Re: [rosacea] supplements

I take a multi vitamin and a lysine (im prone to cold sores) and 400 I.U. mixed tocopherol
vitamin E capsule along with 500 mg Ester-C every day and a combo pill of green tea/grapeseed/red wine capsule along with another lysine pill and alpha lipoic acid in the evening. I do it mainly for the antioxidant protection, im not sure if it prevents breakouts where im prone to them, but I do feel it helps my skins texture, helping to fend off free radical damage and all. the niacin in the multi doesn't bother me at all either.

i missed the zinc sulphate thread.
i take lysine, grapeseed extract,milk thistle, vit D3, alpha liopic, and recently added glutamine.--the niacin in my multi doesn't bother me. [i also take bilberry for my eyes, flax seed in a capsule, magnesium, 200mg. vit E, and potassium sometimes since my diet is so peculiar due to the rosacea and IBS].
i can't remember where i read about these hahaha......but my skin is clearing from a bad flare [which was probably caused by something that i'm not doing now...LOL].
but these sups are also good for my body too.

I have been trying to read the old posts, and feel a bit overwhelmed!
I am going to buy some supplements to try to help-I have flushing and
broken capillaries, and am surprised that some, such as evening
primrose oil, that I thought would be helpful seem to cause problems
for people.

What supplements should I try? I am considering grape seed extract,
salmon oil, pycnogenol, zinc sulphate-after reading that study where
it seemed to really help heal rosacea recently, vitamin c, and
digestive enzymes. Do probiotics help? And I will avoid regular
multivitamins due to the niacin.

Thanks!
