Question
Is taking lycopeneis good as antioxidant ?

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

Thanks and Rgds.

Answer
Dear Ashish

Yes, lycopene (found in tomatoes) is a very good and apparently safe antioxidant.

I doubt very much if either pantothenic acid or biotin (both B vitamins) have ant role to play in the greying of hair and any claims made to the contrary are probably spurious.

Regards

Dr Alan Galbraith
