Now we know lotions don't do anything for prevention. Why that idea was ever pumped into our brains is nonsense.
Looking at multi vitamins and supplements can be overwhelming. I put it off for just that reason. I'll share with you what I take and what I've researched to help your health and with that, healthy skin.
A good quality multi vitamin
Trace minerals
Vitamin C
Probiotic
Digestive enzymes (with heavy meals)
Omegas with Dha & eps & D3
Glucosamine with MSM
A good antioxidant

Having developed stretch marks when I was pregnant because every one told me that 'if you get them you get them there's no preventing it'....but let's be real, there are ways to help prevent them. Or minimize how many you develop.
Most people think that stretch marks develop because their fat, getting fat or growing too quickly. This isn't the case. The truth is your skin is lacking nutrients to help it stretch. Plain and simple. I think if more people knew, they would eat healthier & have more self esteem with their bodies.
For the longest time, I thought I was just fat. It was all an illusion because I've never been over weight. But people say stretch marks come from getting fat, so I believed them.
Though depressing, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Maybe one day there will be a repair for the biggest skin concern in dermatology. But unfortunately even promising lasers only slightly minimize the appearance. I'm sure I will eventually try my round of laser therapy.
If you develop stretch marks, take a look at what your eating & how well your digestive tract is working. Supplement with vitamins.
You will know if it's a more serious medical concern.
I think this info needs to be known so more people aren't so confused by why they are developing them and don't know how to make them stop.

I had a lot of marks on my breasts from them growing in really quickly I tried laser, creams, Derma rolling ect. I gave in and tried carboxy for them two years ago and they were almost completely gone. Don't give up on treating your marks something may work for you. I live this tread btw u wish I would've though about nutrients more during my pregnancy now I'm back to getting carboxy treatments because I'm covered in them

Hydroluronic acid is NEEDED

This is essential for breaking down protein and absorbing minerals such as zinc.
Watch what your eating and study what might be causing your production to decrease.
Supplement with HCI enzymes and other digestive enzymes until your body can produce its normal amount once again.

I have the same problem I have lots of stretch marks and it's not due to weight gain. I truly believe there is more causes to stretch marks than just weight gain and hormones. So would you suggest taking a zinc supplement? What would you recommend to reduce the appareance at least

Hi! I'm definitely no expert but I wouldn't take straight zinc supplements without a doctors recommendation.
I'd take a good look at what you are eating/drinking. Research whether or not they prevent zinc absorption. You might want to start taking digestive enzymes when eating meat. This will help breakdown protein.
Multi vitamins (with zinc).
Gelatin has helped reduce the appearance of mine. Vital proteins has some good options.
Combat stress with antioxidants.
You may want to look up a disorder called pyroluria. I thought I may have it when they first started showing up. But definitely see a naturopath for further info on that.
I hope this helps.
It's definitely frustrating and depressing. You are not alone lady! I wish this information was more known. Could help so many people.
