Today, more and more discoveries concerning the importance of vitamin D to the human health are being unveiled. You may not realize it but vitamin D is the one that keeps the musculoskeletal system healthy. It is just heartbreaking that many people are not getting enough vitamin D that they need. If you want to know the possible signs for vitamin D deficiency, continue to read along.Given that vitamin D is a requirement for strong bones and muscles, you can say that over fatigue can be a result by a lack of it. The truth is insufficient amount of vitamin D in our body can also be a big factor for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. One obvious reason for this is bone and muscles weakness.Depression can also be a sign that an individual lacks vitamin D. A new study says that depression is a consequence of not getting enough sunlight in the morning. It is also noteworthy that most depression cases occur in places where the sun seldom shines or in seasons of the year like winter.Again, vitamin D is crucial for bone and muscle strength so if you are constantly experiencing chronic pains in the back you are possibly lacking in vitamin D. Why the back? you may ask. The spinal cord, which is located in the back, is composed of bones, and if these bones are weak, they can cause the spine to deform and cause backaches.The best way to prevent vitamin D deficiency is to bathe under the healthy rays of the sun in the morning. A daily dose of sunlight can help perk up the mood and combat depression. It can also prevent the risk for rickets among children and osteoporosis for adults. Make this as a habit to get the most of vitamin D that you need.Sometimes you just cannot avoid not getting too much vitamin D from the sun especially during the winter or the rainy season. If that is the case, boost up your body s supply of vitamin D by taking in multivitamins or vitamin D supplements. That way, you can be sure that you are receiving a healthy amount of vitamin D even without the sun.

QUESTION:
How long does vitamin E cream take to heal scars?
I bought Vitamin E cream and it says it contains the effective emollients Vitamin E,Aloe Vera,Wheat Germ,Sunflower Seed Oil,Collagen and Elastin.Would this help heal an acne scar?If so how often should I apply the cream to the scar and how long will it take to heal?-
ANSWER:
First of all,it all depends on the scar.If it is a new scar,it would take 1 to 2 months to heal completely.If it is an old scar,it will take 2 to 4 months to heal.However,since yours is an acne scar,it will be easier for it to fade provided you always apply Vitamin E on your scar twice daily.However,you could always take Vitamin E supplements since it will promote faster healing internally.Plus,using a facial scrub once a week could fade scars easier since it will exfoliate your dead skin cells.Hope I helped(:P/s:You could also try Mederma if you want since it works for acne scar.Plus,it is the most effective scar treatment product you could get at a local pharmacy.Good luck!!

QUESTION:
How to get rid of acne scars?
So I have some acne scars on my face, and I've tried many methods to get rid of them, such as lemon juice, vitamin e cream, tomato facial, baking soda exfoliant and aloe vera, and nothing seems to work. Can somebody please tell me if there is a product out there or homemade method that WILL WORK?-
ANSWER:
Try "clinique even better dark spot corrector". It takes about 4-8 weeks to see results but you do see them. It fades your acne scars and evens your skin tone. I recommend it. Its a little pricey though, but you get what you pay for! You ca buy this at macys. Or online. Good luck!

ANSWER:
You could use Vitamin E products, which are good at clearing skin 'scars' etc.Also, look out for creams at the drugstore/pharmacy that treat scars too - some contain silicon that I found worked for me.

QUESTION:
Vitamin E oil or cream for acne scars?
I've read on countless sites and reviews that vitamin e does the trick if you're looking to remove acne scars. I have acne scars on my chest, and I'm going to California in a month and I want to be able to wear a bathing suit without being completely embarrassed by it. I've heard both the oil and the cream work, but the oil works more effectively. But my concern is that since it's oil, it will clog my pores and just cause more chest acne breakouts. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!-
ANSWER:
I usually use vitamin E oil, dear...and must use it regulerly.

QUESTION:
What is the best vitamin e oil? Does it really work as well as people say it does?
I had a lot of questions about reducing/lightening some acne scars and a few stretch marks. All the answers pointed to vitamin e oil or cocoa butter or even both (also strivectin but you have to apply that 3 times a day and it's costly). I was wondering what brands might work best and where to get them? Any tips on how often to apply or other tricks you might have would be great too. Thanks!-
ANSWER:
My fave vitamin e oil has been discontinued. St.Ives makes a great collagen and elastin cream and lotion under . Their products are really good and cost effective.Alpha hydroxy and retinol and retin A encourage cell reproduction. Salicylic acid is a great mild astringent in toners that do the same thing. Mederma also is supposed to get rid of scars, but I haven't tried it.
Use a sunscreen and stay out of the sun. Don't believe anyone who tell you that tanning will work, because it won't and you'll only wind up doing further damage to your skin PLUS accentuate your stretchmarks and scars.
Some great skin supplements are flax seed and evening primrose oil, but if your skin is naturally very oily, you might want to try a low dosage, if at all.
Good luck!

QUESTION:
What is the best vitamin E oil brand?
I want to buy some vitamin E oil to put on acne scars and to heal dry skin on my face. What is the best brand to buy? Should I buy the oil or get the gel capsules and prick them? Any advice would be great!Oh, also - does it clog pores?

ANSWER:
Truth be told, any answer given here will just be personal opinion (I can give you my opinion if you'd like). There are many higher quality companies out there that are readily available and well priced... just make sure the company has a good rating with either the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) or USP (U.S. Pharmacopoeia), as those are the main quality assurance organizations (USP is for the U.S., GMP is for the U.S. and worldwide). With that good quality, they should also sell the natural Vitamin E, which is d-alpha tocopherol (as opposed to the dl-alpha tocopherol, which is synthetic).With that being said, the softgels would be much more potent and oftentimes more pure than the liquids, but it is more annoying and an inconvenience to break them open and apply them without making too big of a mess. If it's worth the hassle to you, it's a much better option to open the pills and use them topically.
As far as clogging the pores, it shouldn't (although some creams may be thicker). Make sure you wash your face daily and rub the oil in for the best effects and minimal problems. Also, I would make sure not to use more than 1 or 2 of the 400IU doses daily (only 1 if you take a multivitamin) as Vitamin E is fat soluble and can build up to toxic levels. Good luck and I hope I helped!

QUESTION:
I use lemon juice in evening,vitamin e oil over night to treat some acne scars - good or counterproductive?
Looking for informed answers if possible.I am using them to treat a few acne scars but just need to know if using them both is sensible every evening and night?.I do rinse lemon juice off before applying vitamin e oil and I am seeing improvement but I dont want to do more harm than good.
Thanks.-
ANSWER:
I have never heard of the lemon juice thing. Maybe you could try a fade cream. I would just search for it. I have been using AMBI skin cream for the last few weeks. I havent seen a huge result yet but I havent been using it for long. It does say that it is for women of color like hispanic or black. I am mixed my skin isnt dark, so i may try regular fade cream. I would search for it. But look up the ambi sit. they have alot of good products, I bought mine at target.www.ambiskincare.com
