acne remedy?

has anyone else tried this, i was looking and found this post and this dude said this is what you take and it will clear it up for good, he used to work at a health board company or something like that

Take this daily

Niacin-vitamin B3 (the FULL flush type--must be this type-you'll get used to it) 500 milligrams-once in the morning, once at night

Chromium Picolinate-200 micrograms-once in the morning, once at night (US govt owns patent on this-interesting huh?)

Zinc Picolinate-50 milligrams ONCE a day

Flax Seed Oil Softgels-1000 milligrams-one a day (make sure the one you buy does not use hexane to process their oil)

Use this for two weeks and thank me very much-do this for a month and say HOLY CROP! After two weeks, cut the niacin dosage to once a day.

Type 2 diabetes and vitamin suppliments?

I'm currently taking metformin and glipizide and aspirin regiment. I noticed a "diabetes support pack" in the store the other day, could there be possible side effects if taking in addition to my meds?
Vitamins are:
A, for eye health
E & B6, for heart health
Lutein, for eyes
Cinnamon/Chromium Picolinate, for glucose and sugar metabolism
Alpha Lipoic Acid, to fight cell damaging free radicals
Slenium, to support the prostrate and immune system
folic acid, to maintain nerve function
Co Q-10, for heart health
vitamin C, for support to immune system

Will any of these counter- act the metformin or glipizide?

Also, is it true that ginkobiloba helps with memory retention? and could this also be used with the metformin/glipizide?

Has anyone taken the supplement Chromium Picolinate for weight loss?

Have you taken the vitamin supplement Chromium Picolinate over the counter for weight loss? If so did it work? I have been doing research comparing diet pills and came across it. The stuff I have seen is that it is a normal chromium supplement for those with a defenciency but it also is used to for weight loss with little or no side effects. I am wondering though if what they say is true.

Can someone tell me which vitamins can be taken together. I like to buy them individually, instead of 1 a day

Such as vitamins a, b complex, c, d with calcium and magnesium, and folic acid. I also have Lecithin, Chromium Picolinate and glucosamine/chondroitin, which I would like to add to the vitamins. So far, no one has been able to give me an answer.
