Keene, when I took zinc by itself I took just one
zinc complex 200 mg tablet a day. I would just take
one course and then leave it for a while as to take
zinc constantly can upset the balance of other
minerals in your body. Very soon after starting to take it
I would be able to see a lot of new hair growing
along my hair line, and my nails would also grow
better. It also helped greatly as far as memory and
concentration goes as well. contribute to hair loss. supplement I got from a health food store which is for hair,
skin and nails, which is made by an Australian
company. I’m sure you would be able to find something
similar in the U.S. biotin (good for condition of hair), calcium, iodine,

iron, magnesium and zinc.

Talking about hair loss! Mine has thinned out in
the front, too, and am now wondering if its from the
diabetes (I was diagnosed 6 mos. ago). zinc are you taking? What type of mineral supplement
are you taking? Thanks for your help.

My hair thinned out drastically a year ago, and
what woman needs that to happen!! recommended I try taking zinc and that helped a lot,
producing new hair growth which I could really see - my
hair loss was in the front. Now I take a good mineral
supplement when I feel the need and things seem to be OK. My
hair is not as thick as it was, but there are no
threadbare patches!

Hi Robbie! I am new here and I just read your
message about your husband’s hair loss. I have been a
very brittle diabetic for 21yrs. Growing up I aways
had very thick hair and in the past 3yrs I have
noticed that my hair has become very thin. I wasnt aware
that blood sugars can cause thinning hair. I guess
this must be another side effect of blood sugar
control and another reason to keep on top of things!
