I’m a woman who’s been taking zinc on and off since I was 19. I’m in my 30s now. I started taking it to control my cystic acne and help them heal with minimal scarring. The side-effect I got is very thick lustrous hair and my eyelashes are long. I take 25mg-30mg zinc a day with vitamin C (sodium ascorbate) on an empty stomach. I started supplementing on copper too (just not at the same time). When I go off zinc supplements for more than a month, my adult acne returns (the painful cystic variety). I still get the occasional acne breakout even on zinc, but just one or two small ones that heal quickly. I love my zinc supplements, I’ve never had to take antibiotics or use any harsh skin treatments for my acne.
I'm a 37yr old guy that's had long hair for 20 years. Started taking zinc around 5 years ago. Noticed a massive difference in the health of my skin and nails - and rarely get sick.
@@Drberg thanks Dr. I find if I stop taking zinc, my hands get very dry and crack easily. I might take 22mg every other day to potentially save my hair...
@@NemesisX94 The body diverts resources away from non-immediately needed processes when in a state of severe stress. Immediate survival is all the body cares about. Why grow hair if your body thinks you are in a fight for your life? The muscles and brain need that energy more to keep you alive. It doesn't have to be a real threat. Your body just has to "think" it's real. Dr.Berg has explained this on many videos over the years.
And what stops alot of anxiety & worry is taking enough Magnesium glycate. I added more mag and the difference is AMAZING! I'm not freakng out & falling apart easily and that lowers the cortisoI
@@draoxitocinathat's because the devil is a liar...he wants you to be in bondage. Don't listen to his lies. Put up a fight. Ashwagandha is good for anxiety.
Words can’t describe how grateful I am for all the information you’ve put out on RU-vid. Dr. Eric Berg, you’re incredible. Your work ethic and effectiveness is inspiring. Thank you infinity.
💡 Recommended upper tolerance for zinc is around 40 mg/day for adults, but circumstances like autoimmune diseases may require more. 💡 Absorption factors include gut inflammation, stress, high-carb diets, phytic acid, and estrogen dominance (birth control, HRT). 💡 Maintaining a balanced zinc-to-copper ratio (around 10:1) can help prevent adverse effects from high zinc intake. 💡 Zinc deficiency is common; adding zinc-rich foods and managing absorption barriers can contribute to healthier hair.
As a male mid 50s I’m not sure why my hair is still full and no receding & not brittle. My father had same. Yes my hair is pepper & Salt color. Possibly because i grew up my diet has been consistently mediterranean west Asian background. I really don’t take supplements. In the sunshine 🌞 i feel wonderful. Vitamin D stores well. I personally don’t use sunscreen lotions. There is a reason why i don’t. My skin needs to be free of toxic chemicals particularly aluminum in lotions. Usually i will grab a Lebanese cucumber as an in between snack. I might eat 1-2 cucumbers a day plus with main meals. Lots of virgin olive oil each day and chickpeas and lentils. I do understand we are all different and react differently to different foods and methods.
Let me start by saying 😩 and then end by saying 😩… in other words… 😩 I have a bin FULL of expensive vitamins. Take this, take that, don’t take too much or it will be toxic, etc. Eat this, don’t eat that. It’s overwhelming. My grandma lived till she was 97, ate whatever she wanted, and to my knowledge took zero vitamins. Seems we live in a perpetual state of anxiety and pill popping out of desperation to live longer and “feel” better. Is it working? 😢
I recognize that. I am just lamenting-not only are food prices higher (and these wonderful doctors always suggest organic and grass fed too boot), but adding all these vitamins that are supposed to make up for the lack of nutrition. It’s just depressing at times. Needed to vent.
@@iKnowlestheTruth Ya it is depressing. In my case I don't enough good foods either. I tend to like certain things & then only eat those. Like having the same salad all week long for dinner. Very little variety :(
Probably your 97 year old grandma was well fed with plenty of nutrients and enzymes that fed her cells. Our corrupted government has stoped all that for us. Water is toxic, food is toxic even our air is toxic and we pay for the slow death that they deceptively put into place.
Could you make a list of daily supplement that everybody should take or make one gender and age specific? Would be very helpful to many people i assume. Thank you!
the thing is, that everybody is individual and need different things, and I'm sure he would've said that the most important thing is to stick to a healthy keto diet full of natural minerals, vitamins, fatty omega 3 acids, fiber, plus fasting and being active physically and absorbing vitamin d from the sun.. but again everyone has different needs , it depends how you absorb all of that too. for example of course globally you can drink coconut water for electrolytes, but if you eat enough vegetables you should get it from them
I think this would be impossible. Apart from not knowing everyone's medical history, there are, as he said, supplements of inferior quality. To steer people away from one product then recommend another by name would be advertising. I'm pretty sure that's against RU-vid guidelines. It could also initiate a lawsuit from the named & shamed company.. He didn't get to be so clever by being by being stupid!
Just google it there tons of lists on how much we should be getting. And the there is maintenance amounts and therapeutic amounts like spoke about in this video. I would list some sources but my wifi is terrible right now. But you can find great resources online.
Well, infact Dr. Berg did answer this slightly on a Q&A live once He said Cod liver oil Vitamin D3 and K2 Zinc, Potassium and Magnesium. I believe these are basic ones he mentioned everybody should take regularly. I mean so to say it's impossible is a Stretch. Obviously if your a person that has gallbladder problems then you take a pill for that. You have issues with constipation you again add addional remedy. After all, he did heart the comment so he knows its possible.
STOP USING SHAMPOO ON YOUR SCALP! use warm water or lye and tallow mix, OR apple cidar vinegar... but if youve been using shampoo your whole life give your scalp a few months of just using warm water to clean your scalp! your scarring your scalp with all the soaps, when your hair already coats itself in fats capable of carrying the dirt away with hot water. all modern soap is is fat that dissolves material with harmful acids preservatives and fragrances added. following this nutritional advice wont help if youre continuing to scar your scalp with modern shampoos
🌀It is important to take the correct amount of Zinc & Copper so that hormones remain balanced & they are also very important for growth of hair follicles. With insufficient amounts of hair vitamins, there will be no creation of new blood vessels which in turn causes damage to scalp & inhibits hair growth. 👉Based on being in good health, ZINC to COPPER RATIO is roughly 10-1 as recommended at 5:18 of this Video.
I’m a 33 year old man and I started noticing my hair on my head thinning my face hair was fine my beard looked great my body hair also fine just my head I was balding. Doc took my blood and it came back that I was low on Zinc. Doc told me to just buy some Zinc supplements and go from there so I bought the 50mg Zinc supplements I have been taking 1 a day mixing in a good diet. With in 2 and half months my hair started growing back so it dose work but always see your doctor first because hair loss could be more then just Zinc deficiency
What is your diet like? Vegan diet always caused me hairloss. High protein and high fat organic diet with vegetables always gave me good skin and hair. Stress also causes hairloss
@@r1r597 I am not vegan. I eat mostly protein and vegetables and maybe not enough fat. My problem is supposedly genetic so nutrition can only do so much for me. I am just trying to have a good base so that my Androgenetic Alopecia and Chronic Telogen Effluvium doesn’t evolve as quickly as it might.
I've been a vocal proponent of Zinc for 30+ yrs... Because I have high triglycerides I looked up those 2 terms together. A definitive study was done in 1980 that showed daily 100mg and above intake created higher triglycerides. I'm 57, full head of hair, & never get sick by taking 50mg a day.
I still take zinc, and I was never sick either. Just looking for possible answers as to why all my hair fell out all at once. It’s been the most traumatic thing that ever happened to me. Many doctors and no answers.
@@veggieeater it’s possible. But it’s been eight months now and I’m doing well. I should’ve said that I still take 50 mg zinc tablets but not every day. I couldn’t be more pleased with all the hair that is growing. I just buy zinc from Puritans pride and trust them. I just had a doctors appointment and all my blood work came back clean and healthy.
@@KayKeneetit Oh great! I'm glad you're better! ☺ But I know that must have been a troubling thing to go through. I know I'd be full of anxiety which doesn't help the situation either.
For better absorption and delivery, you can make a LYPOSOM by mixing Sunflower lasathin or coconut oil in worm water combined with copper, zinc, and glycerin. The fat will protect the minerals, and the glycerin will help prevent the minerals from leaking out of the fat cells. this will allow for a much smaller dose because instead of a 30% absorption, it will be closer to 80%.
@fatillacing4131 When making a Lyposom, "warm water" will melt the coconut oil or any saturated fats like cocoa butter, gee, or tallow. You can then combine together water, fat, and minerals and vitamins in a blender, then blend for a minute, and you have created a Lyposom for better delivery of the supplements. If you buy any supplements, make sure it is pure with no additives or fillers. Don't buy anything with ingredients that end with ose or that have silica.
The fine doctor doesn't talk about it but there is a thunderous difference between the amount of zinc in pure zinc ("elemental") and the zinc you probably see on the shelf, whose fine print commonly explains is zinc gluconate or sulfate. Those are diluted. Mainstream sources say the upper limit is 40 but that is for elemental zinc. Gluconate and sulfate recommended limits and RDAs are several times higher. 200 mg gluconate might be fine and safely tolerable. 200 mg elemental is in my opinion an invitation for a duodenal ulcer.
Thank you for this info I didn't know that zinc deficiency can cause all this .I've been suffering with hair loss and all kinds of inflammation and I'm in still as I speak
I lost nearly all my hair last year, doctors don’t know the cause. But I started taking daily 50 mg of zinc with vitamin D during Covid. Probably too much. Maybe this is the answer, a copper deficiency. I stopped taking so much zinc and started on oral minoxidil. In eight months, I’ve almost gotten all of my hair back plus thicker, new hair. Thanks, Dr. Berg for the insight.
Taking vitamin D in isolation, especially high doses will increase calcium, lower potassium & increase Magnesium burn rate. You would need more magnesium, potassium, and possibly sodium to keep calcium from precipitating into soft tissue like the scalp. Vitamin K2 will further assist Ca utilization to make sure it goes where it's supposed to. Too much zinc can definitely lower copper which will can also contribute to scalp/hair issues. Difficult to know what's going on though without a properly interpreted HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis). The one many practitioners use when attempting to balance patients minerals is TEI Labs
@@joanneclark8256 Most doctors won't, and the ones that do likely dont know how to properly interpret them because levels are often not taken at face value. For instance, ones heavy metal load may look low, but if the Na/K ratio is too low it's likely because the person lacks the cellular energy to expel the metal from intracellular or enzyme lock-up so it wouldnt show. However, when given the correct minerals/supplements to raise the Na/K then you start seeing those metals finally come out which registers as a temporary "increase" on a subsequent test. That's just one example. TEI is the only one I recommend because they dont mess with the hair sample prior to running through a mass spectrometer, so the readings are more accurate
Same! My hair was falling out by the handfuls. My holistic health practitioner recommended I take a tincture of horsetail with sarsparilla. It stopped my hairloss within a week of taking it.
Covid 😷 never had any health issues since 2020 no vaccines no masks no tests no lockdown I lived my life as before covid no complying whatsoever I am 70 years now and in my best health ever ! Magnesium oil Vitamine C whole foods and Vitamin D3 from the sun ☀️ only ! Good luck !
Please be careful with copper supplementation (and zinc) - dr Berg, will you PLEASE do a deep dive on the genetic issue and possibly of zinc/copper causing psychosis in some people? I heard of this in a health summit on autism and add/adhd. Can’t remember the two Doctors who studied this in depth and have an incredible data base linking nutrient levels to (for example very sudden onset mental illness). I know my functional doc checked me for the genetic issue before giving me zinc in IV. But I’m no expert. It just caught my attention as something we should all be aware of ❤
Hi Dr. Berg! First of all, I wanted to thank you for your wonderful videos and your effort! I'm grateful more than I can express with words, because thanks to you has my quality of life had greatly improved, and that of my mother too. My mother is around 70 years old and she suffers from high blood pressure and other symptoms. She'd had no energy and had to take large doses of medication. Thanks to your advice she had been able to reduce her medication, has so much more energy and was able to supplement some meds with alternative options! Her blood pressure is still a problem, though it's her life long battle and even the current success is a major thing to her! As for me, I feel so much better since I follow your advice! I also have some questions / suggestions for future videos (if I may be so bold, lol). And excuse me kindly for any grammar mistakes, English is not my first language. 1. I'd really fascinated with the concept of fasting. I do omad but I'd really love to do long term fasts. Though I'd managed about 75 hours at most. I start to feel dizzy and weak. I do the sodium, electrolytes, potassium and fish oil as well as MCT oil, but I just can't go for longer than that. One explanation that comes to mind is my low blood pressure. When I fast it sinks lower and that is why I feel week. Is that possible? I drink more coffee than usual but it still doesn't help that much.:-( 2. Another thing that bothers me are night shifts. I'm used to the pattern of doing 2x 12 hours day shifts followed by the same number of night shifts and then time off. That way, I do cca 7x 12 hours day shifts and 7x 12 hour night shifts per month. Is it really bad? How can I minimize the risks? What are the risks exactly? I'm really struggling with that. This pattern of work suits me but I don't want to damage my body. I would love a video adressing all those points from you! I've watched your videos concerning night shifts, but I still feel that I need more info. :-) Thank you so much, Dr. Berg! You are wonderful person.
OH MY GODD! 😖 YOUR ENTIRE FASTING METHODS AND PRINCIPLES YOU SEEM TO FOLLOW FOR YOUR FASTINGS ARE HORRIBLE! 😖😖 JUST WHAT KINDA FASTING IS IT DAT IS SO DEBAUCHEROUSLY PUTTING IN THE SAME TOXINS AND FOODS IN THE BODY DAT THE BODY THROUGH FASTINGS IS TRYING TO EXPEL IN THE FIRST PLACE!!??😖😩. AND DAT TOO FILLING THE BODY UP WITH THE SAME KINDA GUNK IN ITS ALREADY WEAKENED STATE!!?? .. NOT TO MENTION YOUR WORK AND SLEEP CYCLES. YOU ARE IRREPARABLY DAMAGING YOUR ENTIRE SYSTEMS IN PRETTY COMPLEX WAY'S BY DOING THE KIND OF REALLY WIERD FASTING THAT'S DESIGNED TO HORRIBLY DAMAGE THE BODY IN PRETTY DIFFICULT TO RECOVER WAYS! THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT HOW ANY KINDA FASTING WITH ANY KIND OF EXPECTATIONS IS DONE !😖😩
Can you please do a long video on hiddraddenitis suppurativa, it is one the painful, chronic, and unknown conditions known to man. The world would greatly benefit from a understanding of what truly causes it thank you
Thank you so much Dr Berg, this video saved my aunt her life (health) by visiting doctor on time after realising the Zinc deficiency which was the main reason for her breathing shortage
Who knew that we only absorb 20-40% of the zinc in food at best?! Makes me wonder about trace minerals like selenium. Too much isn't good but is one Brazil nut per day really enough.. Great content, thank you!💓
Great video. I have ALWAYS had thin hair! Since I have been supplementing zinc my hair has improved. Where I went wrong was not enough copper! So I have increased my copper with the zinc and my hair is getting thick and growing!!!!
I'm curious what Dr. Berg and everyone in the comments think about the supposed link between zinc and prostate cancer. There was apparently a study that points to a correlation between high dose zinc and prostate cancer. This concerns me because I've been taking a large dose of zinc (with copper) to alleviate my cystic acne. I have noticed that taking 50mg of zinc a day cleared up my acne, improved my mood, and gave me tons of energy, but I worry about side effects.
Great video! I think one wouldn't need to also add copper if beef liver is consumed regularly. In fact, just 300 grams of beef liver contain 44 mg of copper, so 44 times the amount you would get by ingesting a 1 mg copper supplement!
Thank you again for valuable information. I have been unable to convince my doctor to do testing for nutritional deficiency so I have been fortunate to be able to learn from your videos. Thank you so much.
@@strangerthings88 Will probably need to go out of insurance covered care to be able to find a doctor that will order test. Medicare is very stingy with what they will cover.
My Dr refuses to the same. My spouse goes to the VA facility and they do all of that. They are on several vitamins ....folate, b12, vit d, cq10, anf one other I forgot. Shame we can't get the same treatment.
@@kathystorer8831 not so much you just need a doctor knowledgeable in nutrition. Medicare has no issues with even the most complicated tests. Try an FMD or ND. At the very least a DO
I noticed that when I take upper limit of copper(5-10mg) with 50mg of zinc(sometimes ,rarely) that my energy levels are higher(feelings are almost the same on 6mg and 10mg without much difference).And when I take 150+mg zinc that my lungs feel like are clearing(easier breathing).
My mum had serious trouble with nails for 10 years. I made her drink Zinc to improve her imunity which was low. Unexpectedly her nails got much much better in only a couple of months.
Can you please cover more on the ALP enzyme & why someone would continually have below range results in blood tests & what are the likely symptoms due to this? Thank you.
Question and Suggestion: Hello Dr. Berg. Remember, you can take 150-400 mg of zinc gluconate per day. The bottle I have is 50 mg zinc gluconate. It says take 1 per day, but the body can take up to 400 mg of zinc gluconate. There are several different forms of zinc you can find or get so be very careful what type it is and read about it. Zinc oxide is another, but this you would probably stay under 100 mg per day at maximum. The bottle can be misleading because it says take 1 per day, but with gluconate its not enough. Correct me if I'm wrong but I have read this somewhere. Hope this helps someone out. By the way, I believe zinc has helped me regrow some receded hair in the front and sides area but I still have a really full head of hair regardless. I will now try copper and see what happens. I think it receded not only from being unhealthy for years in my early 20's but also from wearing a hockey helmet so often and the sweat and rubbing. Because the hairline is sort of where the helmet was rubbing. LOL!
Doctor Berg, you should set up an ai app that runs through an extensive questionnaire (covering many personal idiosyncrasies) so that every person can zero in on what specific dosages of various supplements would be most helpful. I sometimes find it very difficult to juggle all of the interactions between different foods, minerals and vitamins.
@@DrbergDr.Berg what can be used/taken to unclog hair follicles??. Not sure if true or not but I heard elsewhere that some hair pores/follicles can get clogged up. (???)
Hello Dr. Berg! I wanted to start by thanking you for all the information and knowledge you share. I am a 39 year old woman (with no medical issues) who just had her second baby 3 months ago. I am currently breastfeeding and have noticed that I am losing A LOT of hair (especially on one side of my head). I recently found a zinc supplement containing the following ingredients: Zinc (as Zinc Bisglycinate and Zinc Monomethionine [OptiZinc®]): 22mg Selenium (as SelenoExcell® High Selenium Yeast): 100mgc Copper (as Copper Gluconate): 2mg and ACTIValoe® Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbandensis) Gel QM Powder 200x: 150mg -- Do you think the dosages are good for a breastfeeding mom? Thank you
This video was amazing thank you. I was taking 50mg of Zinc per day and getting head aches so I stopped. Re-Started using it and copper and have been feeling fine.
I drive for the dealerships. Last year, I had allergies so bad I had to quit driving. Turns out I was taking too much Zinc. I quit the extra Zinc, and overnight my allergies went away.
I have noticed thicker after experimenting with 4x of your d3&k2 that contains zinc. Added to 1 of your trace minerals. After about 2 months I think. This was added to healthy keto and intermittent fasting. I did have several autoimmune situations under control since a few years already. But the 4xd3&k2 makes a big difference in my hair and other things. (I would only have 1 a day until last Spring).
I was getting grey sideburns setting up for a manager job and they went away when it was cancelled. Stress caused those grey hairs, i could even see half gray half dark colors on the hairs that fell while combing.
Thank you, Dr. Berg! BTW, what can you teach us about pyroluria? It looks like I have it & the reason I ask is zinc is important for treating pyroluria. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!
I have come to the conclusion and realization that absolutely nothing will prevent hair loss or regrow hair. For 15 years I have tried it all. I finally gave up and started shaving my melon. Even my emoji is bald 😎
Sorry that nothing worked for you but that doesn't mean that nothing works for anyone. I am 61 and have a head full of hair thanks to rogaine and finasteride. I have more hair now than I did in my late 20's.

Dear Dr. Eric; I Try to follow your videos. They are very helpful.I am especially interested in videos relating to BPH. Thanks for your exertions that enlight our problems we Face.
Topical Magnesium dissolves the calcium build up around hair follicle. I would check out my organic infused Magnesium sprays if you are looking for something that really works.
I also think that too much magnesium too will also deplete zinc, and too much zinc will prevent the absorption of magnesium right? Too much zinc makes the copper low I think as well, and too much copper will deplete zinc?
I'd say 30mg as the upper limit if you are taking Zinc Picolinate which is the best absorbed form of Zinc that is the most bioavailable on a hair test and blood test compared to other forms of Zinc. If you take too much Zinc and feel bad, you might be dumping a lot of bile and detoxing since Zinc is required for LIver detox
Very informative indeed! Thankyou Dr Berg Is it not a good idea to drink water from copper utensils....in India,it's a household practice to store water in copper jugs and earthen pots
Hey doc, do you know anything about lipid peroxidation, a.k.a. that cause behind the "old people's smell" and why that happens when we age also, what makes it happen to some older people and not others? Will keto prevent this from happening and what other measures can one do to prevent this, like with supplements. I'd love to hear what you know. I love your material. You're so smart. Keep up the awesome work you do.

Hi Dr. Berg, thank you So much for sharing knowledge with us. Could you please talk about primary ovarian insufficiency. My doctor is suggesting me to use hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but I heard that HRT might have breast cancer risk. I wonder if there are other natural ways or supplements which can be helpful for my case. Much appreciated!
Some people need high doses of zinc and very low of copper. I get deficiency symptoms of zinc if I take it close to RDA and toxicity symptoms from even 2-3mg of copper. There are genetic differences.
because surgery is considered “physical trauma”, can you please make a video on if one should get surgery on a broken nose to fix septum. furthermore, will fixing the septum solve other issues like lack of airflow in nose which causes sleeplessness, mouth breathing and burdensome allergies
Why don't you mention the fact that copper is linked to schizophrenia and depression? Apparently high doses or having too much copper stored in the body is related to these conditions. Is it something we need to worry about before supplementing with copper? Thanks
Hi Dr. Berg. My wife has very high levels of zinc. Her supplements are only magnesium and vitamin D w/ K. We tested our water and it was very low for zinc. She's not taking any collagen supplements either. What can we do to get it down? I had her increase magnesium to block absorption. And I had her greatly increase her raw vegetables for the flavonoids to bind with it to get it out of her system. Is there anything else we can do? It's extremely concerning.
vegetarian foods that contain zinc - such as legumes, whole-grain breads and cereals, bran and other fiber-rich foods - are high in phytates, which inhibit zinc absorption. phytates are anti-nutrients.
Dr Berg. your teeth are great and your skin and eyes are clear and bright. nice to see you walk the talk. At least we can see the results of your lifestyle.
