I just saw an article regarding a prescription with some clinical evidence behind it that shows it improves efficacy and duration of Botox results.
The supplement contains zinc and phytate, which if I understand correctly, are available over the counter as dietary supplements.

Right on! You have to believe the pharmaceutical industry isn't going to let go of their opportunity too cash in. And using Fear tactics/patient ignorance is so marketable. Shame on them. |

yes he he! Maybe I should petition to have them keep the zinc and the enzymes behind the counter like they do with Claritin!

Couldn't you just take a separate Zinc and Phytase supplement?

Maybe there is a good reason for the claritin and other cold meds to be behind the counter! Sad but that's our society! Yes I already knew about meth labs.

That's what I'm wondering too. It would be great to prolong the effects of Botox!! |

I already take Zinc supplements, so I may just bump up the frequency and/or amounts before my next Botox apt. At the same time, I may pick up some Phytase.
BF - flagrant supplement abuser!  |

I would really encourage everyone currently using botox or considering it, to see the website:

I work out and my botox lasts four or five months. I think it just depends on your particular body chemistry. Perhaps you metabolize it quickly? Have you tried it injected by different people to see if it is technique related? |

Yes, i work out & lift weights, still lasts up to 4 months for me. Even when i was running over 30km a week, it lasted the the usual amount of time. |
