acne supplement poll

fatkidzorz · 03-11-2007, 05:36 PM

When i work out i usually stack the following

creatine
n02
"endorush/redline"

I do notice a lot more breakouts while on these supplements, but have heard about a link to acne from all...

which one would u suggest has the biggest impact?

ive heard about the n02 being a big case, but nothing about endorush/redline, With these energy drinks i usually drink the whole bottle, or close to it.

I don't know if it's really any of these. In my opinion acne is caused by heightened test levels which is caused by lifting weights in general. I have taken GB + WB with no acne and then threw in some jungle warfare and had back acne flare up.

yeah its kind of weird,

the only time i ever notice any acne is acne around my mouth...

im hoping its honestly the no2 or E-drinks because i love creatine

I never noticed acne from no2 or creatine, and there's no reason they should cause it.
What I have noticed is that caffeine really does agreveate acne. I bet it's the energy drinks if anything.

yeah im starting to think so

ive cut down on the endorush/redline the past week and ive seen some calming for sure..

its just hard when u work at vitamin world and get 40% off of everything.... especially when its slow at work... u just want more energy :P

creatine increases acne for me

karzma · 03-11-2007, 06:27 PM

i hate energy drinks

i drink maybe a can of pepsi every now and then. im addicted to it

stay away from DIET soda. any product labled "light" or "diet" has aspartame variants or manipulated sugar alcohols

as far as acne goes, i never got it. weird

It depends on you personally. Try not taking one thing for a week, and seeing what happens. If that doesnt do it, add it back in and switch something else out. It might just be elevated test levels, or your body going through a phase/cycle. If you have the extra money, Vitamin B-5 worked wonders for me. BN.com has it in bulk.

-heightened test levels

-change in diet (if you really did) because something happens to the liver (i forgot what)

fatkidzorz · 03-11-2007, 08:26 PM

hmm yeah so it may be working out in general,

im gonna try ridding the E drinks, and the n02,

possibly try hitting a 3 day/ 5x5 workout plan too with cardio on my days off.

not sure.

i think it depends on the person. i know that when i was exersising a lot rarely had any acne. also has a lot to do with diet. scientists say that diet has nothing to do with acne but i'm pretty sure they are wrong. before i started working out a lot i ate a lot of junk food then i started eating really healthy and rarely had junk food and my face was fine

Creatine does not directly cause acne. However, it can contribute indirectly. First of all, when you take creatine it is presumeably during a time when you are participating in physical activity, which will cause you to sweat more. This will cause acne. Creatine also dries you out (we know this from the cramping etc..). Water is essential for fighting acne. There is nothing chemical in creatine that will casue you acne, but these other things will. The best advice I can give you is to not let dirt/sweat sit on your skin for too long (do not wait 3 hours to shower after your worlout), and use some 10% benzoyl peroxide on your face before bed. This is good for clearing your acne up. Also, be sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of sleep, as this will prevent acne from worrsening.
