    TLDR Zinc, chromium, and magnesium levels in hair might indicate metabolic health.
    The study explored the relationship between the levels of zinc, chromium, and magnesium in hair and the presence of metabolic syndrome (MS) diseases, which include diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and other metabolic disorders. The research aimed to understand the mechanisms by which these elements might influence or reflect the metabolic processes associated with MS. The findings suggested that the concentrations of these elements in hair could potentially serve as indicators of metabolic health, although the specific mechanisms and implications required further investigation.

      Zinc supplements can make existing hair thicker and fuller but do not cure or slow hair loss. Long-term zinc use requires copper supplementation to avoid deficiencies.
