Did you mean Zinc Transporter?

Glossary Zinc Transporter

protein that moves zinc ions across cell membranes

A zinc transporter is a type of protein that helps move zinc ions in and out of cells or organelles within cells. These transporters are crucial for maintaining proper zinc levels, which are essential for various biological functions, including immune response, enzyme activity, and hair growth. Inadequate zinc transport can lead to deficiencies or toxicities, impacting overall health and conditions like alopecia.

community Are carbohydrates needed for hair growth

26 upvotes 2 years ago

A 47-year-old male experienced significant hair loss after losing 37 kg in 6 months on a low-carb diet and started taking biotin, zinc, iron, selenium, and spectral dcn-n. Replies suggest that while carbs are not directly needed for hair growth, they help regulate hormones and nutrient absorption, and rapid weight loss can also contribute to hair loss.
