Acne

Acne is a skin condition that can occur on the face, neck, back, chest, shoulders and upper arms. The cause of acne is not known. However, most dermatologists believe hormones are a major contributing factor in acne. Hormonal changes related to pregnancy, starting or stopping birth control pills, and the changes in the level of testosterone in males and females during puberty can also cause acne. Testosterone stimulates the sebaceous glands of the skin to enlarge, produce oil, and plug the pores. Whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples are formed. When acne is severe and forms deep "pus-filled" lumps, it is referred to as cystic acne.

Most teenagers get some form of acne but adults can also be affected by acne. Acne can be disfiguring and upsetting. If left untreated, acne can leave permanent scars. The goal in relieving your acne is to allow existing blemishes to heal and to prevent new acne breakouts. It is important to be patient. Improvement takes time.

The following are some common sense approaches to the may help you in the relief of your acne:

Ack-Nee

Ack-Nee is a comprehensive formulation that addresses the variety of common factors associated with maintaining healthy skin.

Ack-Nee contains healthy nutrients that may help improve sugar tolerance, such as Chromium picolinate, and fatty acid metabolism such as L-Carnitine fumarate. Vitamin A reduces production of keratin and its' build-up in the follicle. Ack-Nee also addresses low zinc levels, which are commonly associated with increased conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which in turn stimulates sebum and keratin production. Selenium is added to increase glutathione peroxidase enzyme. Vitamin B6 supplementation plays a key role in the metabolism of steroidal hormones.

Ack-Nee is formulated in a proprietary herbal base of Goldenseal and Curcumin extracts, used traditionally for maintaining healthy skin. The digestive enzymes Protease, Amylase and Lipase improve digestive health and utilization of these important nutrients. 

Ack-Nee is formulated with our own Maximum Assimilation Technology (MAT™), in vegetarian capsules.

Vitamin A: Promotes growth and repair of body tissue, bone formation, healthy skin and hair. It is also essential for night vision.

Vitamin C: Promotes healthy cell development, wound healing, improves resistance to infections. It is also known to improve collagen formation and provide protection against cataracts.

Vitamin D: Aids absorption of calcium and may help build bone mass.

Vitamin E: Required for normal growth and development. It is a powerful anti-oxidant that protects cells from oxidative damage.

Vitamin B-1: Thiamin is essential for converting carbohydrate to energy, normal functioning of the nervous system and muscles.

Vitamin B-2: Riboflavin helps red blood cell formation, release of energy from food. It is needed for vision and may protect against cataract formation.

Vitamin B-3: Niacin or nicotinic acid promotes release of energy from food. And proper functioning of nervous system. Non-flush niacin is used in this formulation.

Vitamin B-5: Pantothenic acid aids in the normal growth and development.

Vitamin B-6: Pyridoxine is essential for protein metabolism, nervous system, and immune function. It is also involved in the synthesis of hormones and red blood cells.

Vitamin B-9: Folic acid is needed for normal growth and development, red blood cell formation. It is also known to reduce risk of neural tube birth defects. It can control homocysteine levels and thus may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Vitamin B-12: Methylcobalamine is vital for blood formation and healthy nervous system. Deficiency of vitamin B12 is very common in vegetarians.

Biotin: Biotin works with carboxylase enzymes, ATP, and magnesium in the metabolism of fatty acids and proper utilization of B-vitamins. It also plays an important role in the synthesis of proteins and purines.
