Tried

Zinc

I gave Zinc a fair trial for my collagen loss and wrinkles. Some improvement in energy improved but sleep didn't improve much persisted. Worth trying but manage your expectations.

Tried

Zinc

My pharmacist suggested Zinc for my hormonal acne. It took about 3 weeks to notice anything, but by week 12 the difference was remarkable. I'd recommend discussing it with your GP.

Zinc

Tried Zinc on the recommendation of friend who'd been through similar. The first few weeks were uneventful, but by week 6 I was sleeping through the night. Best decision I made for my health.

Disappointing experience with Zinc. My hair loss and brittle nails didn't improve and I experienced stomach issues. I've stopped taking it.

Tried

Spearmint Tea Zinc

Combined spearmint tea and zinc for persistent hormonal acne with PCOS. Progress was slow but steady. The biggest change was around months 2-3 when new breakouts became less frequent and less inflamed. My skin isn't perfect but it's much more manageable now and I feel less self-conscious.
