Description

Naturally Clear is an amino acid, vitamin and mineral formula designed to treat and prevent acne problems. It features a proprietary free-form amino acid blend of L-lysine HCL, L-arginine, L-cysteine HCL, and L-glutamine as well as essential vitamins and minerals.

Vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and selenium synergistically reduce skin inflammation and sebum and keratin production. These essential nutrients are potent antioxidants and possess anti-inflammatory properties. Studies suggest they can prevent skin inflammation, significantly reduce acne breakouts and restore damaged skin. Biotin promotes skin, hair and nail strength.

One of the causes of acne is believed to be due to the damaging effects of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), derived from the male hormone testosterone. DHT stimulates the production of sebum and keratin (skin cells), which are primary causes of acne. The trace mineral zinc is necessary for the proper metabolism of testosterone. Low zinc levels can increase the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Studies suggest that zinc supplementation can be as effective as antibiotics in reducing acne.

Cysteine can strengthen immunity and break down skin toxins. Arginine assists in wound healing and stimulates immunity. Lysine and glutamine help support and maintain skin health.

Vitamin C may produce a laxative effect in certain people, although high intakes of vitamin C (2 grams daily) are well-tolerated by many healthy individuals.
