Balancing Prostaglandins for Acne Control
Balancing Prostaglandins for Acne Control
There are two main groups of hormones that are neccessary to balance if you want to effectively treat and cure your acne.
The first type of hormones, androgens, are responsible for the regulation of sebum (skin oil). Your body creates acne when you have too much sebum mixed with other elements such as toxins in the blood and dead skin cells that clog up the skins pores.
Bacteria breeds in the blocked pores which create redness, inflammation and swelling which is your acne.
Prostaglandins are hormone-like substances which are produces in cells as chemical messengers. Prostaglandins are the important hormones that are responsible for inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses in the cells otherwise known as ‘good’ and ‘bad’ prostaglandins.
So the question is, how does someone regulate prostaglandins hormones in the body?
Most people lack the nutrients the body needs to produce enough ‘good’ prostaglandins while on the other hand produce too many of the ‘bad’ type which is why acne sufferers more often than not have inflammed, red and sore spots on their faces that take longer than normal to reduce.
ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) which is an Omega 3 essential fatty acid is the precursor to ‘good’ prostaglandins. Most americans are simply deficient in Omega 3 efa’s.
Most animal products and household oils have very high amounts of Omega 6 efa’s but very little if any Omega 3. Omega 6 is the building block for ‘bad’ prostaglandins.
Two of the best sources of Omega 3 acids are in fish oil and flax seed oil. Flax seed oil is great because it has a 2-1 ratio of Omega 3 which is good to counter the inbalance of these EFA’s people have had most of their lives.
It would be a good idea to take enzymes with these oils to make sure they are broken down and utilized properly. Considering most americans also have an enzyme deficiency it would be a wise decision.
Alternatively, you may want to take flax/fish oil capsules with fruits that are high in enzymes such as bananas, papaya, pineapple, figs and kiwi fruit.
One of the biggest theifs of prostaglandins is stress. Smoking and other things that create free radicals, attack the chemicals that are used in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins.
