I have a serious acne problem that I would like to address naturally with vitamins. Can I take zinc gluconate in addition to my multivitamins?

It is important to check the ingredients in your multivitamin to see if zinc is already included. You can also increase your zinc intake through foods such as meats, eggs, fish, and oysters. However, there is limited data supporting the effectiveness of zinc for treating acne. It is recommended to avoid taking more than 50mg of zinc per day without consulting a doctor to prevent the risk of toxicity.
