A new study reveals that consuming oral dietary supplements four days before receiving Botox injections makes the toxin more effective.

According to a study published by Dr. Charles Soparkar at The Methodist Hospital in Houston, dietary supplements of organic zinc and the enzyme phytase four days before receiving botulinum toxin injections showed improved results after the Botox treatment. “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,” Soparkar said.

Many of the patients involved in the study were being treated for a rare form of eyelid spasm and had previously responded poorly to botulinum toxin injections.
