Day 6 of the TwinLabs Daily One Caps...hm. My skin is slightly better than it was with Stress-B alone. Maybe not as good as Stress-B with brewer's yeast.
I couldn't find brewer's yeast tablets at my health food store...I'll have to try Berkeley. I still think there is something in brewer's yeast that's not in vitamin pills.
And, it is likely that it's the B vitamin complex that helps the most with acne. I read that vitamin A reduces oiliness (my skin is noticeably less oily), so there is that too.
But is it wise to take only B complex and vitamin A? That I do not know. It probably won't hurt you, but what I still don't know is if acne is caused by some sort of a long-term vitamin deficiency...that's what I'm starting to think.
Anyhow I feel all-around better...just little things that I've suffered for years, are suddenly gone. My legs feel strong and bouncy. I don't get dizzy as easily. I don't feel fatigued, I have better stamina. My hair doesn't seem to be falling out as much. As I say, my skin is hardly oily at all...and I've had very oily skin at times.
My skin's texture is overall improved...it's got that smooth, "creamy" feel to it. Still has some small clogs, but no pimples.
So my conclusion now is that it's worth it to take the multivitamin rather than just the B complex and vitamin A. When I get hold of the brewer's yeast tablets, I'll see if I can't get my "perfect" skin back. :)
