Cathy Howse-Zinc and Iron

[Islandgirl]

I was reading her sample pages on Amazon.com. There were three pages that contained the table of contents. Many of her chapters look like stuff we discussed on the board before. She had something on iron and zinc. So, what does she say about iron and zinc? I don't really have much info on that, in terms of the benefits it has for your hair.

she says take iron in 18mg and zinc in 15 mg or as part of a multivitamin. she says zn and iron are good for hair growth. iron enriches the blood to carry oxygen for the hair cells. zinc deficiency has been known to cause hair loss in lab animals. a high concentration of zinc is stored in hair. thats it!nothing about biotin, MSM, omega oils in her book but they help hair growth nicely...

I've read that zinc is good for clearing up bad skin also.

If you are not Iron deficient, taking too much iron can be fatal. Zinc is good for us though.
