Based on cutting-edge nutritional research, Frutels looks deeper than the surface of your skin for a natural solution. No matter where acne appears on your body, whether it is on your face or on your back, the causes of acne are on the inside.

Hormones

We know hormonal fluctuations play a significant role in causing many people’s acne because of acne’s prevalence among teenagers and women during certain stages of life.

About 80% of people develop acne during their teens. Teenagers are growing and developing into adults and their hormones are constantly fluctuating during this process. The growth spurts that are so characteristic of teenage development can stress the body, too.

Women in their 20s and 30s can develop acne during their periodic monthly cycles due to fluctuating hormones. Middle-aged women can also get acne while their hormonal system adjusts to another stage in life.

Stress

You have an important date, a formal presentation at school or work. All of a sudden, you’re breaking out! Well, there’s a reason for that.

Stress factors such as growth, puberty, lack of sleep, pollution, and exercise can damage your body and result in acne. Stress can also upset the delicate balances of our hormonal system.

Diet

Recent scientific research has proven the strong link between simple carbohydrates and the development of acne. You may have observed this yourself after bingeing on sugar or having a little too much to drink.

This research has studied people in non-Western countries, who eat a traditional diet that is low in simple sugars. These studies revealed that people eating traditional diets have virtually no acne! When people from these isolated areas move to cities and begin eating a diet more similar to ours, they started getting acne.

Our industrial food chain has given us food that is high in simple sugars and largely depleted of essential vitamins and nutrients.
