Dr. Nase's Supplement Recommendations

[Guest guest]

I just returned from the health-food store with the nutrients that Dr. Nase

recommends for rosacea sufferers:

--> Ester-C

--> Grape Seed Extract

--> Pycnogenol

--> Barleans Omega Twin (borage/flax oil)

--> Wobenzyme N

(I'm already using MetroGel and tetracycline.)

I plan to add these nutrients to my diet tomorrow. I'll probably just throw

the Barleans oil into my post-morning workout protein shake along with the

creatine monohydrate I already use, and take half the dosages of Ester-C,

Grape Seed Extract, and Pycnogenol at that time. I'll take the Wobenzyme N

about an hour before my evening meal, and the remaining dosages of the other

nutrients with the meal itself.

What's been the experience of people here with these nutrients? The reason

why I ask is the stuff is quite expensive (it'll cost about $125 a month),

and I'm not sure there's any way to discover which nutrient or nutrients are

effective on their own, or in combination. The number of permutations and

dosage variations would make this difficult to quantify.

In short, are these nutrients an all or nothing deal?

Leigh,

I've taken the Ester-C, grapeseed extract and Wobenzym N. I haven't

used the other items. I found that the Wobenzym N wasn't that

helpful. It's so expensive too. I think the grapeseed extract was a

little helpful, but I take 100 mg a day now, just to be on the safe

side. It seemed more helpful at first and I took 600 mg a day for

about a year. I do take Ester-C, but only at a level of 500 mg a day

because more than that and I have stomach problems.

I notice that the grapeseed extract and Ester-C do help relieve the

pinkness, but it's hard to say if my blood vessels are getting

stronger as a result. I hate not to take it because I don't want to

take a chance and weaken my blood vessels. I figure that 500 mg of

Ester-C and 100 mg of grapeseed extract a day are fairly cheap, so I

continue to take them.

Hope that helps!

I have taken note of these recommended supplements but I also have a

question. Right now I am also taking Evening Primrose capsules and a

vitamin B complex tablet. I am not taking these for roseaca but for PMS

symptoms, but I did pick these particular ones because not only do they

help my PMS but they are also supposed to help acne. Does anyone know if

adding these other supplements would have any type of reaction to the other

supplements I already take?

Off topic, but do yall think it's possible that Dr.Nase lost interest

in this whole rosacea thing and decided to make up his car wreck

story to ease his way out of it? He hasn't been around an awfully

long time now.
