omega 2-6-9 and acne
I just started supplimenting with Udo's oil and omega 3-6-9 complex and have started to notice a bit of acne around my chin, lower cheeks, and neck. Prior to this I had extremely clear skin...the most i ever had was one pimple every 6 months or so. So I was wondering if it had to do with the oil? I have always followed the same type of diet and foods except i recently started eating more veges and almost doubled my protein...so it could be either of these things as well. Have you heard EFAs causing acne? or more protein?
Thanks

I have noticed this as well the last 3-4 months, not on my face or neck but on my back and shoulder area.
wtf?

Pro-active is a far better product, all around, IMO.

Plus it has also been linked to deaths and suicides.
I didnt experiance the suicidle thing but def dehyrdration and just an overall sense of not being well came over me.
