GlossaryCadmium

toxic heavy metal linked to hair loss and health issues

Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal found in the environment, often as a byproduct of industrial processes like mining and smelting. It can accumulate in the body over time, leading to serious health issues such as kidney damage, bone fragility, and an increased risk of cancer. In the context of hair and alopecia, cadmium exposure has been linked to hair loss due to its detrimental effects on cellular function and overall health.
