A short YouTube advisory segment by Dr. Charles Mok explaining that zinc is required for Botox to be effective and claiming that high-fiber diets (specifically grains) can deplete zinc because fiber acts as an antinutrient. The speaker advises that avoiding grains a day before or after Botox treatment might modestly extend its effectiveness, noting the effect is usually small but may matter for individuals with poor response.

Another thing that can impact Botox's outcome is zinc. Now, Botox requires zinc to work. Healthy people are usually depleted in zinc. The reason is healthy people typically eat a lot of fiber. And fiber is an anti nutrient. It extracts nutrients from your body. That's why they put zinc in different elements in cereal. If you want your Botox to work longer, studies have shown that if you avoid grains a day or so beforehand or a day or so after, it might work a little bit better. Generally, it's not material, but somebody's not working as well. That's one thing you can do.
