What is Zinc Hair Loss & Proper Zinc Dosage?

Zinc hair loss can happen in people who have balding hair loss or hair thinning due to having low levels of zinc in their bodies. 

Hair Loss is a common symptom of people dealing with hair thinning.

It is found in case studies that people who experience hair loss have a deficiency of zinc in their systems.   

Your body does not produce zinc naturally, so you need to obtain the mineral nutrient zinc from foods and or vitamin supplements. 

Warning: Yet please be aware that too much zinc in your system can also cause hair loss. This is why it is best to get your zinc intake from food sources so you don't have too much in your system at one time.

*But if you rather choose the supplement most people need the Reference Daily Intake (RDIof 11 mg of zinc for men and 8 mg of zinc for women while Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consume 11 and 12 mg of zinc a day.

  • It is believed that zinc is a natural DHT blocker which is a hormone that causes of hair loss in people. 
  • Zinc helps keep oil glands around the hair working in proper order which helps avoids hair breakage. 
  • Studies show hair thinning is restored with zinc supplements when the cause of hair loss is zinc deficiency.
