Numerous studies have shown the link between VitOmega and healthy skin. One such research project was conducted by Donald Rudin, M.D., from the Department of Molecular Biology at the Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute in Philadelphia. Dr. Rudin gave flaxseed to 44 patients, 39 of whom had at least one type of skin condition.In his book, Omega-3 Oils, A Practical Guide, Dr. Rudin wrote, "Chronic skin disorders, such as scaling, cracking, and persistent infections of the hair follicles, healed only after the volunteers began taking flaxseed, high in Omega-3. |

| The general color and elasticity of the volunteer's skin also improved greatly Dr. Rudin also found that the patients who took flaxseed had smoother hands in as little as a week. After six weeks, there was a huge improvement in dandruff, as well as in dryness, flakiness, and redness. Within one to four months on flaxseed the subjects' skin was more firm and elastic, with improved texture and tone. Over the years, many other studies have duplicated these results In the skin of person suffering with psoriasis the amount of compounds causing inflammation is many times greater than normal. Omega-3 fatty acids inhibits the production of these inflammatory compounds. Clinical trails have shown that omega-3 fats can be successful in the treatment of eczema. |
Epidermal cells can be very active in the conversion of essential fatty acids into prostaglandin hormones, which determine the smoothness and moistness of the skin, and can influence skin conditions such as eczema.
The omega-3 fatty acids provide skin cells with the precursors from which they synthesize PG-series 3, derived from gamma-linolenic acid. Gamma-linolenic acid is converted to dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid by epidermal cells, then to anti-inflammatory prostaglandin hormone (PG-1), which also improves skin texture and has been used successfully to treat eczema and provide proper skin care treatments.
