Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Here is the information I wanted to send earlier. Nina can you PLease put it on the original post. oops! Thank You, ZINC In laboratory tests animals fed with a zinc supplement showed signs of more hair growth, as opposed to loss of hair in animals that were deprived of zinc in their feed. It was discovered that there was a change in the hair protein structure when zinc was deficient in the diet. Severe zinc deficiency in humans has been shown to produce baldness and scalp problems that were reversed when zinc was returned to the diet. Zinc has also been shown to stop hair turning grey. One doctor taking zinc for a year reversed the grey hairs which returned to their original color. Zinc can be depleted by high stress levels. For a good source of zinc, wheat germ is the best, other sources are brewer's yeast, pumpkin seeds, oysters and mussels, shrimps and egg yolks. One delightful effect of zinc is that it has long been regarded as an aphrodisiac, and as such it can be very beneficial for your sex life, which is not a bad side effect to have. How to use zinc? Zinc stimulates hair growth by enhancing immune function. Dosage: 50-100 mg daily. Do not exceed this amount I hope this was helpful!
