Zytaze Nutritional Supplement
When Botox or Dysport fades sooner than expected, preparation can make a difference. Zytaze® is a physician-recommended nutritional supplement designed to support zinc levels involved in neuromodulator activity. At The Bressler Center for Facial Plastic Surgery, patients in Houston, The Woodlands, and Sugar Land, TX often ask how to support more consistent injectable results.
What Is Zytaze?
Zytaze is a medical food that provides nutritional support to enhance and prolong the effects of botulinum toxin injections such as Botox and Dysport.
Botulinum toxin works by paralyzing the muscles’ response in the targeted areas. It achieves this by targeting zinc molecules in the body. Botulinum toxin injections are among the most popular treatments we offer at our skin treatment center. It follows that the body requires an adequate amount of zinc for the Botox or Dysport procedures to work effectively.
However, even though zinc-rich foods can be found in abundance, such as in the form of eggs, beans, and red meat, the body doesn’t necessarily absorb zinc from these foods as easily. It occurs because many of these foods can also block zinc absorption. Without the presence of zinc in the body, the botulinum toxin can’t do its job, and thus requires more frequent injections.
Learn how Zytaze can work for you
In an early pilot study, increasing zinc levels with Zytaze demonstrated remarkable results. Formulated with a unique blend of organic zinc and phytase, an enzyme that aids zinc absorption, Zytaze has been found to extend the duration of botulinum toxin injections by almost 30 percent.
Each Zytaze pill contains 25 mg of zinc citrate and approximately 1,500 mg of phytase. Phytase is effective in breaking down phytates, which are compounds that boost zinc absorption from food. The use of these active ingredients improves the effect of botulinum toxin and provides a longer-lasting result.
By adding Zytaze to your diet after Botox or Dysport injections, you provide your body with the added boost it needs to effectively absorb zinc from the foods you consume. This zinc then interacts with the botulinum toxin in the injectables, extending Botox’s effectiveness and support. A safe way to get more out of your cosmetic injectables, Zytaze is a prescription-only medication. You will need to consult your doctor before purchasing the product.

Zytaze, from OCuSOFT, is available in a blister pack of 10 capsules through The Bressler Center or with a prescription at your local pharmacy. Take two capsules each day for four days before and on the day of your injections.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Zytaze Supplementation?
You may be a good candidate for Zytaze supplementation if you want added support for your injectable treatments. Zytaze is typically recommended for short-term use around neuromodulator appointments.
Zytaze may be appropriate if you:
- Notice that Botox or Dysport results wear off sooner than expected
- Have experienced inconsistent results from neuromodulator treatments
- May have low dietary zinc intake, which can affect how injectables work
- Are planning an upcoming Botox or Dysport appointment and want to support treatment performance
- Prefer a physician-recommended supplement rather than over-the-counter zinc products
Zytaze is not intended for daily or long-term supplementation unless specifically advised by your provider. Your consultation will determine whether Zytaze fits your treatment timing and overall plan.
How and When to Take Zytaze for Best Results
Zytaze capsules are typically taken for several days before your Botox or Dysport appointment. This short-term schedule is designed to support zinc absorption during the time neuromodulators are administered. Dr. Bressler will give you clear instructions on dosage and timing based on your treatment plan.
It is essential to follow these directions closely. Taking Zytaze too early, too late, or for longer than advised may reduce its intended role. Zytaze is not meant to replace injections or skin care products but to support injectable performance when used under medical guidance.
What to Expect After Taking Zytaze
Zytaze does not change the experience of your injection appointment or the procedure itself. Most patients do not notice side effects when the supplement is taken as directed. It works quietly in the background by supporting zinc availability rather than producing immediate sensations.
Results vary from patient to patient. Some notice more consistent outcomes or longer-lasting effects from Botox or Dysport, while others may experience subtler changes. Our team, led by Dr. Bressler, will help you understand what is realistic based on your prior response to neuromodulators.
