MyVitaminGuide.com Offers Informational Resource on Acne Treatments

Virginia Beach, VA - My Vitamin Guide (MVG), an interactive Web site containing information on vitamins, supplements, health and wellness, has an expanded informational page on acne treatments in its website. Found online at http://www.MyVitaminGuide.com, MVG provides free information on vitamins and supplements, as well as resources, news, advice and content from medical professionals on more than 650 health concerns and illnesses.

The acne treatments section, located at http://www.myvitaminguide.com/public/603.cfm , is intended to serve as a resource for both consumers and health professionals. It is organized into several segments, respectively titled: About acne vulgaris, What are the symptoms of acne?, Medical options for acne vulgaris, Dietary changes that may be helpful, Vitamins that may be helpful, Herbs that may be helpful, and Holistic approaches that may be helpful. Each section is self-contained, so readers interested in only a certain section can get information quickly and easily.

One feature of the resource is a product checklist for acne vulgaris. It rates common nutritional supplements used to fight acne. The checklist reviews Niacinamide, Zinc, Pantothenic acid, Vitamin A, and Vitamin B6, as well as the herb Guggul. Each supplement is given a rating on a scale of 1 to 3, reflective of its overall effectiveness.

The section also has a primer on medical acne treatments. It lists both over the counter products, such as astringents and medicated soaps, as well as prescription medicines, including benzoyl peroxide and antibiotics. Of course, all content contained on the My Vitamin Guide Web site is for informational purposes only, and one should always consult his or her doctor before taking supplements or any type of medication.
