Why does vitamin d supplementation always give me acne and how can I rectify this?

[trumpwillwin]

Vitamin D pills ALWAYS give me acne, without fail. Why is this?

And how can I bypass this somehow?

i’ve heard higher dosages coke with a higher risk. try to get yourself 1000 iu along with vitamin k2

Use tretinoin.

I’d be almost tempted to say the acne is the result of successfully increasing your hormone levels.

 

[sub5outsider]

if your overdosing and you have high vitamin d maybe thats why

yup, also, have you gotten your vitamin d levels tested? as the other guy said, you may be overdosing. tret will help up to a certain degree, but it won’t fully eliminate hormonal acne. vitamin d raises testosterone, which causes acne.

so continue with vitamin d but just add trentinoin?

i understand man. try tanning with sunscreen or a barrier on ya face. apparently 15 minutes outside in direct sunlight with 40% of ya body uncovered is enough for a daily recommended dose.

i actually don’t know much about testosterone imbalance. perhaps once the imbalance is rectified the acne will calm down aswell?
