Can intake of zinc tablet stop or reduce hairfall? if it can how long should a person take it?

Depends...: ...On what is causing the hair loss. Most kinds of alopecia are cosmetic issues only. It can, however, be caused by internal problems or medications. If you suspect that your alopecia is in that category, you should see your doctor. I know of no convincing evidence that zinc tablets have any effect, on way or the other.
