Imagine simply taking a vitamin supplement four days before your next Botox injection and having 93% more effective results! A study performed in Houston at the Methodist Hospital by Dr. Charles Soparkar, who is an oculoplastic surgeon and his fellow researchers, showed that a combination of organic zinc plus phytase, an enzyme, increased Botox results by 93%. Due to this research, a new supplement was created. It will be coming on the market later this month or February. Called ZYTAZE™, it will be available by prescription.
“Surprisingly, the results showed that in over 90% of the patients studied, the zinc/phytase combination resulted in a remarkable improved responsiveness to treatment of blepharospasm using the same amount of botulinum toxin as previously used,” said Soparkar. “The toxins seemed to have greater effect and last longer. Potentially, this could mean using less toxin, offering patients financial savings, greater safety, and more consistent results.”
If the prescription is sensibly priced, it would create an overall savings for patients who use Botox for wrinkle reduction, as less Botox will be necessary to achieve the same results and the results will last longer. I’ll keep you updated as soon as I hear further news on this topic.
To your health & beauty,
Dr. Gregory Chernoff
