Question Is taking lycopeneis good as antioxidant ? If I take it is it necessary to take zincovit or any otrher vit
Secondly I want to know the role of calcium patothenate and biotin in grey hair as well as brittle nail Sir, Can U guide me
Answer Hi Ashish,
Lycopenes are good as antioxidants and you do not need to add zincovit or any othr vitamins. Pantothenate has been shown to reverse premature greying of hair, but the role of the vitamin in case of brittle nails is quite controversial. A good dermatologist would be able to advice you about it.
