I am a female, 37 years old. A couple years ago I began losing my hair. I was constantly pulling strands off of my clothes throughout the day and there was wads of more hair coming out whenever I showered. I tried different shampoos advertised for hair loss and they seemed to help a bit but the hair loss would start up again if stopped the shampoo.
Finally I went to my doctor and told him to test me for several vitamins and minerals. My zinc was significantly low (in the 40s), even though I ate meat. For some reason my body was not absorbing zinc through foods. I began supplementing with zinc sulfate and within a few days the hair loss stopped. I retested my levels a couple months later and it had gone up to 72 (optimal levels is about 90). My hair no longer falls out and the bald patches I was starting to get before have filled in. If you are losing your hair it is most likely a deficiency, like iron or zinc. Get tested.

We used to raise dogs and we would put a tbsp of zinc powder on their food once a day. Then we noticed they weren't shedding anymore, so I started putting it on my Cocker Spaniels food. He quit shedding, too. So I can see how zinc would work. I have the same problem, so I'm going to try it. Thanks!!!!

I noticed you mentioned meat has zinc, abundant sources also include seeds, nuts, legumes and whole grains. a landmark study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has found that a plant-based diet would prevent more than eight million annual deaths, reduce carbon emissions by 70 percent, and help save up to $1 trillion annually in health care costs. The staggering findings came as a result of the first-ever study to estimate both the health and climate impacts of a vegan diet, the Oxford University researchers said a plant based diet is the best one for our health and the planet's health.
I've been vegan for 53 years and never suffered a zinc (or any other) nutritional deficiency.

Hi Ampy,
Like you, I have been taking zinc for a while, and sometimes I doubled up on taking 50 to 100mgs a day during 2020 of the pandemic, so I know I am not deficient in zinc. However, I had noticed that something I was taking during 2020 had started my hair growing and I did not know what it was. When I eased up on my strict regimen, I started getting hairballs again and soon the top of my head was just fuzz and bald again. I put some of the supplements back on my list again trying to reactivate the hair growth again, but no replay.
Then I remembered that I was also taking Bronson Lecithin Granules for something else around the same time, but ran out. So I ordered some more lecithin, I started taking my Bamboo capsules again, I also quit drinking coffee for about 2 months.
My hair has regrown and the center bald spot has hair though not thick yet, but it is longer than fuzz. I do remember putting a couple of drops of iodine on the center spot, maybe two days straight then I forget to keep up with that treatment.
