Brother has problems with alopesia.
I read that zinc and vitamins help with alopesia condition.
Anyone had positive experience with zinc and vitamins? What other treatment do you recommended for alopesia?

Hi,
I do not have problems with alopesia, neither is this information from experience of someone I know.
I found this info on one site, and says that as complementary alopecia treatment vitamin B6 and zinc are used. I don't want to play doctor, so you better ask professional about this infor.
Nevertheless:
vitamin B6 ((50 to 100 mg per day),
zinc (30 mg per day)
gamma-linolenic acid (1,000 mg twice a day).
However, do ask your doctor before your brother starts with any course of zinc or vitamins.
