Amino Acids for SKin health?

By fitskin on 09 May 2011

I know there are some amino acid skin care products on the market. My question is do you know if they have the same benefits if taken internally through supplements rather than rubbed into the skin?

I take fish oil, not flax.. Have you noticed a difference? I'm going to give the aminos a shot and see if I notice a difference... I found a reference to it online saying that it will help my skin reatin moisture..

Well the flax definitely helps my hair and nails grow, I'm not sure about my skin. But since I've been taking both my skin seems to be clearer, I didn't have a ton of problems before, but it seems to help. I just have to always remember to take all of these on a full stomach.

Hmmm, that's a really good question. I take fish oil and flax seed oil, which is rich in a number of amino acids in capsule form and have found it helps out my skin, hair and nails quite a bit. So I would say from my experience pretty much any way your skin/body can get the vitamins is a good one.
