Phosphatidic Acid (PA) Causing Acne

[john.patterson]

I recently began using Tri1umph from Olympic Labs, and I have been noticing a significant increase in acne on my face. I know there are other factors that could be impacting this, but this is the only variable I've been able to narrow it down to.

Curious to know if anyone else experienced increased acne while using PA supplements. I've been using it for about a week so far.

I've used it for 8 weeks without any acne issues. Typically supps that are known to increase test may cause oilier skin and/acne, but PA is not a test booster.

I experienced oily skin and hair when I used lecithin granules. PA in pure form, havent tried yet

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I'm not sure if its the PA by itself, or something else in Tr1umph that could be causing. I was hoping an OL rep could shed some light on the matter

Welcome bro, I bet a rep will chime in real soon

I've been thru many runs with PA via SL and now with OL Tr1umph and no acne issues here.

I'd call this coincidence. I've tried many of the ingredients in Tr1umph, included Soy Lecithin granules themselves with no acne issues.

Good to know!

Thanks man. I appreciate the responses. Must just be coincidence or something else causing it

Well...um...research has(supposedly) uncovered the "mastermind molecule" behind acne.

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTor) regulates all aspects of acne, including sebum production, cell growth and skin inflammation. It can read the levels of various hormones and nutrients and regulate cell growth and sebum production based on these signals.

PA activates mTor, as do a lot of things bodybuilders take, whey/dairy being a classic example.

I would assume that the extra oils from PA would be a contributing factor to this

Interesting, never heard that before. That would explain it then haha. Thanks man!

That was my guess too, I was just wondering if anyone else had encountered any issues with it. Thanks for the input brother
