A high-quality general multivitamin with excellent B vitamin forms, but its extremely low PABA and Biotin doses make it ineffective for specific hair and skin health improvements.
ZHOU Daily Boost is a well-formulated comprehensive multivitamin, featuring bioavailable forms of key nutrients like Methylcobalamin for B12 and active folate (6S)-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid. It includes a good spectrum of minerals (Zinc, Selenium, Manganese) and additional beneficial compounds like Silica and Probiotics (Bacillus coagulans). While its overall nutritional profile supports general well-being, its PABA content (2.5mg) and Biotin content (28mcg) are exceedingly low for achieving targeted Skin Health and Hair Health goals, especially for hair repigmentation or significant nail strengthening. Nutritionists typically recommend much higher doses of Biotin for specific hair/skin improvements. The product is more suited as a high-quality general daily supplement rather than a specialized one for the stated analysis goals.
- Contains highly bioavailable forms of Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) and Folate (active form), promoting better absorption.
- Comprehensive blend of essential vitamins and minerals, including Silica, Zinc, and Selenium, which are generally supportive of health.
- Includes a probiotic for gut health, contributing to overall wellness.
- Extremely low PABA dose (2.5mg) is negligible for targeted PABA benefits for hair and skin.
- Very low Biotin dose (28mcg) is insufficient for significant hair and nail strength improvements compared to specialized supplements.
- Not truly designed as a specific hair/skin supplement, despite its general benefits.

Categories
PABA 10.0
With a minimal 2.5mg of PABA, this product's inclusion in the PABA collection is nominal. It provides an insignificant dose for any meaningful PABA-specific benefits for hair or skin.
Goals
Skin Health 55.0
While it provides a foundation of general vitamins and minerals beneficial for cellular health, the extremely low PABA and Biotin doses mean it will not offer targeted or significant improvements specifically for skin health. It's a general multi, not a skin-focused one.
Hair Health 50.0
The very low Biotin (28mcg) and PABA (2.5mg) content makes this product largely ineffective for specific hair health goals like growth stimulation, strength, or repigmentation. Its contribution to hair health is limited to general nutritional support.
