Did you mean Sodium Selenite?

Glossary Sodium Selenite

Sodium selenite is an inorganic compound of selenium that is often used as a dietary supplement due to its antioxidant properties. In the context of hair loss, selenium plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy hair follicles and may help mitigate oxidative stress, which can contribute to hair thinning and loss. Key distinguishing characteristics of sodium selenite include its solubility in water and its ability to influence various biological processes, including the regulation of thyroid hormones, which are essential for hair growth. However, excessive intake can lead to toxicity, making it important to use it judiciously.
