ABOUT ZINC:
Not all zinc is created equal.
There are different zinc compounds. According to the findings of our nutritionists, zinc bisglycinate is the compound that is best absorbed by the body. Furthermore, it has high bioavailability.
Zinc is present in highly concentrated form in our hair, among other places. Zinc deficiency can be a cause of brittle and fragile hair, and even hair loss. This is primarily because hair and nails are only supplied with zinc after all other organs, and in case of a deficiency, zinc is also withdrawn from them first.

However, there are numerous positive experience reports. Therefore, they are often used as home remedies or natural remedies.
