BFW pill claims to help Botox effect last longer
Beneficial
The ‘Zytaze’ pill features a blend of Zinc and Phytase to increase Zinc absorption, an element said to be crucial in bringing out the effect of Botulinum toxins, as each toxin molecule must be associated with a molecule of zinc.
“To be effective, Botulinum toxins must find and bind zinc in human tissues after being injected, the smaller the amount of zinc – the less the effect,” says a company spokesperson.
However, oddly enough, Eden’s experts say that if zinc is added to the toxin during the lab process, its potency is greatly diminished whereas taking a supplement like this before an injection is more likely to be beneficial.
According to clinical trials carried out by the company on 77 patients, the Zytaze pill demonstrated that increasing zinc levels for four days prior to a Botox injection resulted in an increase in both the treatment effect as well as duration by up to 25 percent.
