Zinc के लिए Alopecia Areata
F प्रभाव शोध से पता चलता है कि इस उपयोग के लिए यह प्रभावी होने की संभावना नहीं है।46 अध्ययनों (3 meta-analyses, 1 RCT) पर आधारित, में कुल 23,495 प्रतिभागियों के साथ। अध्ययनों के बीच परिणाम मिश्रित हैं।
निष्कर्ष
While people with alopecia areata often have lower zinc levels, research is mixed on whether zinc supplementation helps — it may support overall immune health but is not a reliable solution for alopecia areata.
- Lower zinc levels are consistently found in alopecia areata patients
- Supplementation studies show inconsistent results for hair regrowth
- Zinc plays a role in immune function, which is relevant to autoimmune hair loss
- No large-scale RCT specifically tests zinc supplementation for alopecia areata
