learn Selenium

What is Selenium and why is it important for healthy hair and scalp function? Selenium is a trace mineral the body needs, but extra selenium has not been shown to help hair in people who are not deficient. Too much (above the US upper limit of 400 µg a day) can cause hair loss.
Can Selenium supplements help prevent or reverse hair loss caused by nutritional deficiencies? Evidence that selenium helps hair comes mainly from rare, severe deficiency, such as long-term intravenous feeding without selenium. Extra selenium has not been shown to help people who are not deficient, and intake above 400 µg a day can cause hair loss.
What are the risks of taking too much Selenium, and how can you get the right amount safely? Too much selenium (above the US upper limit of 400 µg a day) can cause selenosis, including hair loss and brittle nails. Most people get enough from food, and eating several Brazil nuts a day can exceed the limit.
