How It Works
How It Works
Strengthener Plus™ is a special zinc formulation with important cofactor nutrients, including MSM sulfur, copper, B6, and bamboo extract (providing silica). The forms of zinc we use, picolinate and citrate, are the primary forms utilized by the GI tract for easy absorption, and are superior to zinc oxide or zinc gluconate. Zinc is an important mineral for immune health. Zinc is needed for the integrity and strength of various body structures, such as bones and nails (white spots on the nails may reflect a lack of zinc).* Mild acne may respond to zinc supplementation.*
Hair, skin, nails: MSM sulfur is a helpful mineral for hair strength and skin. It works synergistically with zinc in these areas. In fact, zinc is required for MSM sulfur to work properly in the formation of healthy body structures. Strengthener Plus also contains copper and silica, which help to strengthen the collagen and bone structure. Silica is also the main component of the hair shaft. These nutrients can help to keep hair from falling out and strengthen skin.*
Stress, immune support: Zinc, like MSM Sulfur, is active in hundreds of enzymes in human metabolism. Zinc is easily lost in sweat (during exercise) and is used in greater amounts under stress. Zinc is required for optimal function of the immune system. Zinc and sulfur work together to form the three-dimensional structure of antibodies, important immune system troops.*
Alcohol, toxins: Zinc has also been shown to help reduce damage from alcohol consumption. It may be wise to supplement zinc if consuming any alcohol when trying to get pregnant.* Zinc, sulfur, and copper have been shown to help the body clear toxins, including heavy metals.*
Sex drive: Sex drive in men or women is directly related to low levels of testosterone. Zinc supplementation has been shown to increase testosterone production and therefore improve sex drive. Men generally need 50-75mg of zinc per day, women need 25 - 50mg.*
Thyroid support: Zinc is a co-factor mineral that needs to be adequate for thyroid hormone to perform at an optimal pace. A lack of zinc is known to reduce the activity of TRH (thyroid releasing hormone in the hypothalamus), in turn tending to depress thyroid hormone levels. Zinc participates in the conversion of T4 to T3, and zinc is needed to bind active thyroid hormone to the DNA of cells. Zinc is needed for immunity, sex drive, and maintaining leptin status while on a diet. It is lost in sweat and by stress. Our Strengthener Plus formula contains zinc in its most biologically active forms.*
Copper and zinc balance: Supplementing with zinc over extended periods of time can develop a copper deficiency. This is another important reason that copper, in the high quality form copper glycinate, is included in this formula.

Unfortunately something in this product gave me an upset stomach so I discontinued. However I will say that it strengthened my nails and stopped my hair from shedding in a very short period of time I saw results. Hate that I can't continue taking it.
It's a little tricky to review supplements, because they generally take effect slowly and subtly and I only notice a real difference when I've stopped taking them.That said, the pill itself is inoffensive. Easy to swallow, no noticeable stomach upset. Did the zinc boost my immune system? I have no idea. I did not catch a cold or anything during the time I was taking it, but it's also summer and I also don't spend much time around other people.As far as hair, skin, and nails, it's again hard to judge. My nails are always pretty weak, but my hair is strong. These were basically unchanged. I have been able to grow my nails a little longer, but they still delaminated after a while.The skin? Well, I did suffer from some breakouts. But, I always suffer from some breakouts. It's hard to know what's related.If you're looking to add a zinc supplement to your diet, whether for immune reasons or acne reasons, this one is fine. It's nice that it also includes copper, since zinc and copper are said to balance each other in your body. The bottle size is good for just over three months at one capsule a day, so the value seems pretty good too.
Please note that I am not a doctor and am not giving any medical advise. I only share my personal observations.I picked up Wellness Resources Strengthener Plus mainly for the zinc and MSM content, hoping it would support my hair and nails while also giving my immune system a little boost. I’ve tried various supplements in the past, but I liked that this one includes bamboo extract (which is supposed to be good for hair strength) along with vitamin B6 and sulfur-based MSM.After taking it consistently for a few weeks, I can’t say I noticed any overnight transformations, but I do feel like my nails are growing a bit stronger, and my skin seems less prone to dryness. My hair feels the same so far, though I know these things usually take time to show noticeable results. The formula is easy on the stomach, which is a big plus because some zinc supplements can be rough if taken without food. I usually take it with breakfast, and I haven’t had any issues.The capsules themselves are a standard size—not too big or difficult to swallow. There’s no weird aftertaste, and I haven’t experienced any negative side effects. It’s hard to say if it’s making a huge difference, but I do feel like it’s a solid addition to my routine, especially during colder months when I try to be extra mindful of my immune health.Overall, it seems like a good supplement with well-thought-out ingredients. It’s not a miracle pill, but if you’re looking for a combination of zinc, MSM, and bamboo in one place, this is a decent option to try. I’ll keep taking it and see if the benefits become more noticeable over time.
I use supplements to help close the gap between modern nutrition levels in our food and the levels that were there when I was young. But, in my opinion, the supplement industry has both some of the highest integrity companies, and some of the lowest. So I try and give a detailed enough review to help you know the company and product better so you can determine for yourself whether or not you want to try this one out.Unfortunately, Amazon puts their sticker right on the bottle's label so I can't read all the information there.If used as directed it will last 50-100 days for women (1-2 capsules per day) and 33-100 days for men (1-3 capsules per day).The capsules are easy to swallow with water.I like my supplements to say organic, non-GMO, GMP-certified, 3rd-party tested, and made in the USA. This says none of those. The product page says batch tested (but does not indicated if it's by a third party), manufactured in the USA, and has a GMP stamp.I look into the supplement companies I use because I've come across so many questionable ones. The bottle has their phone number, and the product page says family-owned since 1985. Their wellnessresources site is functional and informative. I like when a company doesn't just put generic statements about quality and health, but (like this one) includes specific details about who they are and what practices they follow.I seem to take longer than most to see results when starting a new supplement, but I like the ingredients, including the absence of fillers and flow agents that many companies say they need to use, while the manufacturers of the highest quality supplements that I am aware of refuse to.Not a bad price, especially if it lasts 2-3 months.Thank you for reading, I hope it was helpful.
