What to Eat for Better Skin: Supplements & the Fiber-Acne Connection | Dr. Mamina Turegano
The discussion centers on how internal nutrition and targeted supplements complement topical skincare to improve skin conditions ranging from acne to hyperpigmentation. Dr. Mamina Turegano emphasizes that diets high in sugar, refined carbs, and dairy elevate insulin and hormone fluctuations, aggravating acne, aging, and inflammatory skin disorders, while processed foods, alcohol, and smoking exacerbate psoriasis. Evidence points to a Mediterranean‑style, high‑fiber regimen as the most beneficial for psoriasis and overall skin resilience, with fiber also crucial for estrogen metabolism and reducing constipation‑linked acne. The conversation highlights specific supplements: Polypodium leucatomos (found in Heliocare) acts as a “pill sunscreen,” protecting DNA and reducing sunburn; oral niacinamide has been shown in a NEJM study to cut non‑melanoma skin cancers by 20‑30%; hydrolyzed collagen (e.g., Verisol) improves skin and joint health; and antioxidants from colorful produce bolster the body’s oxidative defenses. Additional compounds such as glutathione, alpha‑lipoic acid, and ginkgo receive modest support for hyperpigmentation, while probiotics, omega‑3 fatty acids, and emerging agents like urolithin A and senolytics target gut‑skin axis health and cellular senescence. The hosts also note the growing interest in combining these nutrients with topical formulations for synergistic effects. For consumers and industry professionals, the takeaway is clear: a dual strategy of dietary modification—low glycemic load, high fiber, Mediterranean fats—and evidence‑based supplementation can amplify skin outcomes beyond traditional topical routines, offering a proactive, holistic pathway to healthier, younger‑looking skin.
