Omega 3 for Acne

Omega 3 for Acne

Skin breakouts can make setting out each morning a nerve-wracking experience. Whether you suffer from mild acne or a case of severe acne, trying to keep breakouts to a minimum and disguising your acne can be stressful and discouraging. However many people with severe acne are finding relief from breakouts with the addition and use of Omega 3 supplements and products.

CLEARLY EFFECTIVE

Korean researchers conducted a study with their findings published in February 2014. The study looked at Omega 3 supplementation to help treat acne.

The study showed improvement in 42 percent of those with inflammatory acne after just 10 weeks of taking Omega 3 supplements. This reduction effected inflammation of the skin which is the starting point for acne breakouts. 40 to 50 percent of inflammation was reduced with subjects taking a supplement which contained 1000 mg of EPA and 1000 mg of DHA.

HOPEFUL RESULTS

What made the results so hopeful is that often treatments are more effective for those suffering from mild acne. However in this case it was those with moderate to severe acne who saw the best results. The study showed a decrease in the appearance of acne lesions and a clearer complexion for those participating.

Despite these findings it was in a very small group and based on two studies which means most would find them inconclusive. The results are hopeful enough though to encourage those suffering from moderate to severe acne to try taking an Omega 3 supplement, especially as there aren't any adverse side effects noted with the treatment.

ABOUT OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS

Omega 3 fatty acids are required for many aspects of health. It is needed for brain function as well as cell regeneration, yet does not occur naturally in your cells. Therefore we have to get Omega 3 through diet, or alternately through supplements.

Omega 3 is found in many foods, with oily fish being the best addition to your diet to increase your intake. Omega 3 fatty acids are found in plants to produce Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) whereas long-chain Omega 3 fats, which are the more desirable fatty acids, are found in sources such as fish.

To get the benefits of long-chain Omega 3 fatty acids you should be taking eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Powder or Capsules?

MSM Powder – Dietary supplement for general wellbeing and an active lifestyle. The most economical option and perfect for daily use at home.

MSM Capsules – TGA-listed medicine containing the same MSM powder. Convenient for travel or if you prefer to avoid the taste.

Benefits

  • ✅Supports joint health and movement – Encourages flexibility and mobility for an active lifestyle.
  • ✅Promotes strong cartilage and connective tissue – Provides essential sulfur to maintain joint integrity.
  • ✅Boosts skin hydration and elasticity – Helps support collagen production for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
  • ✅Encourages strong hair and nails – Contributes to hair strength and reduces brittleness.
  • ✅Assists with post-exercise recovery – Supports muscle and tissue repair after physical activity.
  • ✅Supports digestive function – Helps maintain overall gut health and nutrient absorption.

Why It Works

MSM is a natural source of sulfur, an essential nutrient involved in collagen formation, connective tissue maintenance, and overall recovery. Since modern food processing reduces sulfur levels in our diets, supplementing with MISMO MSM helps replenish these vital nutrients for long-term well-being.

Who is it for?

Individuals looking to support joint flexibility and movement, skin hydration, strong hair and nails, and overall wellness.

How to Use

MSM should be taken daily, and results should not be expected immediately. The recommended daily dose is 2–6 grams.

  • Start slow: Take 1–2 capsules daily (equivalent to ¼–½ teaspoon powder) and allow your body to adjust.
  • Increase gradually: After a week, increase to 5-6 capsules daily (equivalent to 1 teaspoon powder), based on your needs.
  • Best taken in the morning: Many users find it provides a natural boost when mixed with water or juice.

Some people experience mild detox effects when starting MSM, like slight headaches. If this happens, lower your dose and increase gradually. This is a sign that MSM is working.

MSM with Vitamin C and Collagen

Pairing MSM with Vitamin C and Collagen can help absorption and effectiveness. Vitamin C plays a key role in collagen production, which, when combined with MSM, helps support joint health, skin elasticity, and overall well-being. Many people take these together as part of their daily routine to support healthy aging, mobility, and skin vitality.

MSM helps with flexibility and inflammation support, while Magnesium plays a key role in muscle relaxation and nerve function. Many people take them together to help with muscle tension, post-workout recovery, and overall mobility. Pairing MSM with Magnesium can be a great way to support an active lifestyle and daily comfort.
