What Supplements Help Eczema?

Eczema & Fatty Acids

Several research tests have shown that people who suffer from eczema, an itchy, red skin rash, do not have the ability to process fatty acids. This causes a deficiency of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Supplementing the system with GLA, which can be found in Evening Primrose Oil, (EPO) Borage Oil & Black Currant Oil, or fish oil capsules, can improve the condition. Dosage used between 3,000 to 6,000 EPO per day, which provides about 270-540 mg of GLA.
