Zinc is one of those essential minerals that often doesn’t get the spotlight, but for women, it has so many benefits that I knew we had to include it in our range.
In fact, it’s a bit of a hidden gem… you get your daily dose of zinc in our Biotin, Copper & Zinc blend, alongside biotin and copper. This perfectly balanced combination supports healthy hair, skin, and nails, and it’s designed to be easy to take every day.
There are so many benefits to biotin, which we have written about here, but this blend also contains zinc – so we wanted to dive in to zinc for women too
Why Zinc is Important for Women
Zinc plays a key role in:
- Skin health – supports repair and regeneration, and can even help your Botox last longer
- Metabolism & energy – helps your body turn food into energy efficiently (It’s not a weightloss pill, but your body needs this to keep weight stable and metabolism steady)
- Immune support – keeps you feeling your best
- Hair and nail strength – complements biotin for visibly healthier growth

It’s a small mineral, but the effects for women can be significant!
I am currently doing a 6 week training programme where I focus on weights, lifting heavier and protien and I know I need the zinc to support my metabolism and energy levels.
How Much Zinc Do Women Need?
Our Biotin, Copper & Zinc blend contains 5mg of zinc, which is the perfect daily dose for adult women. That means you get the benefits without overdoing it.
Food Sources of Zinc
Zinc is naturally found in:
- Red meat and poultry
- Shellfish, especially oysters
- Legumes like lentils and chickpeas
- Nuts and seeds
- Whole grains
Of course, the our Biotin, Copper & Zinc blend makes it easy to hit your daily zinc target without relying on diet alone.
When and How to Take Zinc
I take mine in the morning, because it fits naturally into my routine. Our packaging is so pretty, it’s easy to keep it out on your counter as a reminder, and the tablets are tiny enough to pop in your bag if you’re commuting.
Consistency is key… taking it regularly ensures you actually get the benefits for skin, hair, nails, and overall wellness.
How Zinc Has Helped Me
Personally, I’ve noticed a difference with my hair and nails, they feel stronger and healthier, and I also swear it helps with how long my Botox lasts! I wrote more about zinc for botox here. I put it down to our Biotin, Copper & Zinc blend, which makes taking your daily dose of zinc easy and enjoyable.
