Fish oils and omega 3 and 6 ?
OK so im going to start taking fish oil to help clear up my acne. From the research i did it seems to work, but all the cases talk about balancing omega 3 and 6.. will taking the fish oil be enough (im only 15) or will i have to eat diffrent or take another pill/vitamin thing.. or will i be fine just taking the fish oil? im really confused and could use some help!

I used to be in the same boat you are in and Omega 3 and Zinc are what did it for me. I have also heard that Vitamin C and B-Complex vitamins help with skin as well.
Also if you can try and cut back on processed food as much as possible. Because they have also been shown to have high quatities of Omega 6 which could be causing the acne.
My reference details what is going on as far as the Omega 3 and Omega 6 balance in your body and should help a bit.
Hope that helps!

you need vits C and B3 to convert both Omega 3 and Omega 6 into prostraglandins PGEs.
O3 makes goog PGEs but O6 can be converted into either good or bad(PGEs)
You need more O3 than O6 so you can block arachidonic acid (which comes from eating meat and fish, and also being stressed) from converting Omega 6 into bad PGEs. B6 magnesium and zinc also helps but only take them short term.
