How Do I Use Supplements To Ease Psoriasis?

Fish Oil, Vitamin A & Psoriasis

Fish oil supplements and cold-water fish like salmon, mackerel & herring, have been found to be very beneficial to those suffering from psoriasis. This is due to the anti-inflammatory properties found in the omega-3 fatty acids.

If you opt for supplements instead of eating fish, look for fish-oil supplements that supply both eiscosapentaenoic acid & docosahexaenoic acid - better known as EPA & DHA.
Take 4 or 6 capsules every day.

Vitamin A can also ease flareups, so try taking 25,000 international units ONCE a day BUT remember, too much vitamin A can be toxic so DO NOT exceed recommended dosage.

Fish oil helped me tremendously when I my nails kept splitting. But i only used cod liver oil. I took it for 21 days & stopped. I never had any prolems. I since eat fish 2 - 3 times a week. I feel better & my nails are healthy, & so is my skin.
