I can relate. I also have done the supplement addition trail over and over. Many things have been a bust for me. Thankfully, I have been able to make returns on some stuff, others not.I did like fish oil, but I too suffered from cyst like breakouts. Salmon oil seemed to be a bit better for that. But, just by a bit.
Sometimes I think we fail to think about the vitamin supplement industry can be akinned to the drug industry - they do try to "sell" a very appealing concept. Also, due to not necessarily having to do big studies for adverse effects they can claim no side effects but I have found that to not be true for me. Some of the things I've tried have had more adverse effects than the RX stuff I've taken.
That being said, I still manage to find myself with the mindset thinking the NEXT NEWISH idea to hit will be a wonder for me... go figure?
