The best vitamins for psoriasis are quite a few that I am going to review here so that you know which are best for you, or someone you know who suffers from this skin condition.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disease that has for characteristics chronic systemic inflammation. Organism with psoriasis produces skin cells at a faster rate than usual, causing lesions in the form of red spots with a covering of white-gray scales.

Psoriasis often comes with metabolic disorders such as obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.

Conventional medical treatments vs Natural remedies

---

Conventional medical treatments of psoriasis include the use of drugs for local and oral use. They help relieve inflammation, itching and reduce the excessive production of skin cells.

However, we know that natural remedies also work wonderfully, and that we can find most of the vitamins we need directly from fresh fruits and vegetables. So, why trying to make use of the vitamins we need in the form of tablets, capsules, liquids? Perhaps we find that it is easier, or because we are not too sure which fruits and vegs we should get them from. And also, I guess, because of a lack of know how.

Fruits and Vegetables are full of vitamins

---

There are a large number of studies that confirm that a diet can influence the course of the disease by causing an outbreak or remission. Today, methods of treating psoriasis with a diet have become quite common, and there is some evidence that a specific diet can work in a beneficial way for psoriasis. .

However, several studies have shown that the inclusion of vitamin therapy in the treatment plan for psoriasis may be useful. The most useful vitamins for psoriasis are vitamin A, D, E and K. They are also necessary for all of us to maintain our health in good condition. In addition, there are other vitamins and nutritional supplements that can help people with psoriasis and improve their condition.

Which are the best vitamins for psoriasis?

---

The main vitamins necessary for our body include fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, as well as water-soluble vitamins B and C. With the exception of vitamin D, all other vitamins are obtainable only from the foods we consume during meals. Vitamin D is synthesized when we expose our body to ultraviolet radiation.

So, we are going to review in detail each one these vitamins. Where they come from, what they can do to our body, etc.

Vitamin A against psoriasis

---

Vitamin A is an excellent tool to boost our immune system. This vitamin helps to repair the general condition of the skin, thus reducing the danger of psoriasis. In addition, it reduces inflammation, helps get rid of itching and dry skin. Vitamin A or retinoids are used topically to treat psoriasis by reducing the excessive production of skin cells.

External use of retinoids can cope with skin inflammation in people with plaque psoriasis. We should take notice that topical preparations containing vitamin A have a lower absorption rate than retinoids administered orally. Therefore, the use of creams containing vitamin A causes fewer side effects for patients.

Among the foods, vitamin A, is usually found in yellow and orange vegetables (carrots, pumpkins, peppers, melons, sea buckthorn). It is also found in fish oil, liver (especially beef), caviar and egg yolk. The addition of vitamin A to the psoriasis treatment plan should be used only under the supervision of a physician.

Vitamin D against psoriasis

---

For a long time, psoriasis has been treated with light therapy using the sun’s rays. The researchers believe that the therapeutic effect of such treatment is due to the ability of ultraviolet radiation to help the body produce vitamin D.

It is a powerful organic substance that plays a vital role in many metabolic processes in the body. We believe that vitamin D can slow the growth of psoriatic skin cells. Recent studies have shown high efficacy in the use of oral and local vitamin D preparations to effectively facilitate and treat the symptoms of psoriasis. In addition, a study has shown that the use of vitamin D in combination with a steroid cream gives more favorable results in comparison with the use of these drugs separately.

We also know that making use of ultra violet lamp that we finds on the market, such as on Amazon, will give great results.

Vitamin C against psoriasis

---

Antioxidants can be a powerful adjunct to the complex treatment of psoriasis. They are able to prevent skin damage associated with oxidative stress. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, which is a good antioxidant, and may also be useful for treating psoriasis. This vitamin helps strengthen the body’s immune system. It shields the body against viruses, infections, toxins, as well as other diseases that cause psoriasis on the body and scalp.

In addition, it helps the production of collagen and helps maintain skin health. Because Vitamin C reinforces the blood capillaries, it helps to speed up the recovery, moisturizes the skin, and also reduces the risk of pain and inflammation of the joints associated with psoriatic arthritis. In addition, vitamin C can relieve itching and bleeding in scalp psoriasis.

This vitamin is obtainable directly from foods, as well as special food additives. Foods rich in vitamin C are citrus fruits, green leafy vegetables and berries.

Vitamin E against psoriasis

---

Vitamin E is also a powerful antioxidant that supports our immune system and protects our body against free radicals that can aggravate the symptoms of psoriasis. It can be taken orally or applied topically to the damaged areas. Vitamin E helps strengthen blood vessels, reduces inflammation, improves blood circulation, relieves pain and discomfort of psoriatic lesions. In addition, it promotes the healing of skin damaged by psoriasis.

This vitamin can prevent future outbreaks of psoriasis and reduce the risk of psoriatic arthritis. In a large number of patients with psoriasis the selenium level in the body is reduced, which is a powerful antioxidant. According to a study, the addition of vitamin E to the diet helps to increase the concentration of selenium in people with psoriasis. Since vitamin E and selenium are antioxidants, they also help protect our body from the oxidative stress that usually accompanies psoriasis.

Taking vitamin E in the form of a dietary supplement should be done under the supervision of a  physician. Pumpkin seeds and spinach are the most vitamin E-rich foods.

Vitamin K and psoriasis

---

Vitamin K is a substance necessary for blood clotting. It can also help rejuvenate our skin. Today, dermatologists believe that vitamin K helps the skin to regenerate faster. It promotes the healing process of wounds, and also restores the skin after surgical operations. It can be found in many cosmetic products for the skin. This vitamin helps treat various skin diseases. In particular, it reduces inflammation, which helps to control the symptoms of psoriasis.

You can increase your vitamin K intake by including in your diet more:

✔ cabbage
✔ broccoli
✔ spinach
✔ lettuce
✔ green tomatoes

Vitamin B6 against psoriasis

---

Vitamin B-6 is known to help regulate cell growth and protect your skin from psoriatic damage. This vitamin reduces the risk of psoriasis and prevents excessive accumulation of skin cells. It helps reduce itching and flaking, and also protects the patient against the onset of a disease such as psoriatic arthritis.

Vitamin B12 and psoriasis

---

We very often use vitamin B12 to treat psoriasis. It participates in many reactions of the synthesis of amino acids, nucleic acids, positively affects the blood cells, normalizes the functioning of the liver and the nervous system.

Vitamin B15 against psoriasis

---

We often make use of this vitamin to treat psoriasis, especially to relieve inflammation and treat arthropathy. In addition, it helps restore the normal absorption of oxygen through the tissues and helps block certain pathologies of the central nervous system.

Omega-3 fatty acids and psoriasis

---

It is known that omega-3 fatty acids are excellent for maintaining the proper functioning of our immune system and the normal functioning of the heart. In addition, they help reduce inflammation. Because psoriasis involves inflammatory processes and dysfunctions of the immune system, omega-3s can help fight this disease.

Omega-3s are usually found in oily fish, flaxseeds, mustard oil, chia seeds and spinach.

All the vitamins above, as well as omega-3s can help you better manage the symptoms of psoriasis. The use of vitamins as an additional treatment will minimize the potential side effects of taking systemic medications (prescription drugs). If you are already on a treatment with vitamins, do not stop the basic treatment plan given by your doctor. Choose some of these vitamins and see if your symptoms are changing.

In addition, regardless of the treatment plan for psoriasis, vitamins are a great way to keep your body healthy. Therefore, it will be beneficial to include them in your daily diet and observe how your well-being will improve. Before introducing vitamins into your diet, consult a specialist.

And this ends this review of the best vitamins for psoriasis. I hope that you enjoyed it.
