It is true that they work well together but Zinc in most people will work very well on its own. If I remember correctly when Zinc and vitamin B6 are taken together they inhibit the conversion of testosterone to DHT.

I personally have seen great results on my own face and my test subjects faces in the reduction of oil production due to the supplementation of Zinc without vitamin B6.

One of the things I suggest in my e-book is that B vitamins be taken if acne is not cleared to a satisfactory level. I listed it under "Severe/troublesome Acne vitamins" but I don't go in to details, basically it just says what maybe needed and to talk to me first.

Basically what I am trying to do is allow people to follow my plan and see some results but then if the results are not to a satisfactory level then they can spend more money if they need to.

Just trying to keep the costs down for people by not suggesting things like B vitamins, Beta Carotene (vit A), Magnesium etc because it starts to become really expensive then and a lot of people will not need the extra stuff.

In my opinion to pin acne down to Gluten is a little far fetched for most people. Gluten intolerance or the more serious side - Celiac disease effects something small like 1% of the population which is still quite a lot of people world-wide but again only a very small percentage of overall people suffer.

People with a Gluten intolerance will see a massive improvement in their general wellbeing (acne could be one of them) by cutting out Gluten from their diet. However most people it doesn't effect.

I have tested this myself and on a few of my test subjects and the difference was not noticeable.

The problem with most people that say Gluten is the cause of acne is that they also remove other items from their diet which contain an actual ingredient they are intolerant to or is causing a build up of toxins etc. Lets say someone removes everyday normal white bread from their diet due to its gluten content. They are not just removing the gluten they are also removing white flour, yeast, sugar, vegetable oil etc. Also consuming white bread causes a surge in insulin and an insulin-like growth factor called IGF-1 which is also well known for causing acne. Do you see what I am saying here.

I am not ruling out that gluten could be the cause of your acne so what I suggest is that you follow the plan until your skin levels out. Then when it is at a certain clearness level day in and day out go mad and have lots and lots of foods which contain gluten and then give it 14 days and see if it makes your acne worse. The more you consume the better because you want to maximise the effects.

Gluten is not one of my areas of expertise to be honest so someone may prove me wrong here but I believe in what I have written until someone shows me otherwise.

Hope that didn't bore you too much.

I used to refrigerate my probiotics (they required it) but then they updated them and they could withstand up to 20 degrees Celsius. I still keep them in the fridge at the moment though because it is getting warm here again and my house is always around 18 - 20 degrees.

Some need refrigeration others do not but the ones that do not normally can't stand temps above 20 degrees.
Some only need to go in the fridge after opening.

The only supplements I keep in the fridge are the EFA & Probiotics.

Your Probiotic should be fine unless your house is well over 20 degrees and even then depending on which version you have they will most likely be uneffected.
