Vitamin E Phosphate For Acne Sufferers

Vitamin E is commonly associated in healing scars in acne sufferers - and it does work. There are a few caveats though. Because it is an oil, if you use too much, or on areas of your skin not affected by scarring, it can clog pores and result in more breakouts. But many people have found it helped fade their acne scars, and it is very cheap compared to most skin care products.

But there's another benefit of vitamin E, and it has nothing to do with topical oils. New applications of technology have resulted in a natural form of vitamin e, vitamin e phosphate, being identified by one company.

There are a number of forms of vitamin e, both natural and synthetic forms. It shouldn't surprise anyone, but the natural forms are the most beneficial, and there have even been negative results associated with the synthetic form in some people. There was a study released a while back looking at vitamin e supplementation and heart disease, and the results weren't good - but they were actually using the synthetic form of vitamin E which has a very different molecular structure - and a very different effect in the body.

Fortunately, vitamin E phosphate is a natural form of vitamin e. It has been detected in the liver and adipose tissues in the body (that's the fat tissues). It's water soluble, and cannot be detected using the regular tests for vitamin E.

A number of trials with Vital ET, which uses the phosphate form of vitamin e, have found it to be an effective anti-inflammatory agent, and useful for acne and other inflammatory skin conditions such as razor rash. Whilst vitamin e phosphate is not yet widely available in skin care and supplement form, that will no doubt change as more research is done, and people find out how effective it is.
