Hummm...I skipped my brewer's yeast last night...I really was too tired to get up and fix it. My skin looks OK today though. It's entirely possible that it's the B vitamin complex, rather than the chromium, that is the acne-preventing factor.
My skin is definitely getting better, day by day. Better with the Stress-B than with yeast alone. It remains to be seen...I can try out just using the Stress-B by itself for a few days...how terrifying, yet how else am I going to find out? :)
I think the key is this: take a B vitamin complex tablet. I don't advise taking megadoses of the stuff, I just don't. I just went to acnemiracle.com...imo, they're selling basically what I'm taking, for $$$ more? how can you profiteer over vitamins, doesn't every manufacturer from Costco on down make vitamins? is there something different about those vitamins? Look for vitamin B-5 (pantothenic acid), B-6 and B-12.
The Stress-B's I'm taking are "time released" so-called, they're supposed to disperse in your system over a 6-to-8 hour period. I don't see anything wrong in taking smaller doses, twice a day, that would seem to be the same thing.
It's possible that smaller doses than what I'm taking would also work. What I'd like to do...finish out the Stress-B bottle, taking one tablet per day. I am going to try it alone, without the yeast, and see if anything's different.
If everything flies, I'll look into reducing the amount of the vitamin...if less works, then so be it.
