Guest guest Posted November 11, 2000 Report Share Posted November 11, 2000 Just wanted to post my latest finding. Over the past few months I have been experiencing severe hair loss. This is a symptom that comes and goes for me through the years. Anyway, I had alot of bloodwork done and was found to be very low in zinc which can be a major cause of hair loss and immune dysfunction.. From what I have read this is a common deficiency in PWC's. I have read that zinc and magnesium compete for absorption. I thought that possibly since I had recently raised my intake of mag supplement maybe I had caused a borderline zinc deficiency to become severe enough to cause symptoms. Anyway, I had read quite a few posts on hair loss and wanted to suggest this as a cause. I began supplements this week and will post results over time . a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2001 Report Share Posted June 12, 2001 I saw Dr R today at clinic and he advised me which I am losing alot of hair parital due to the fact that my hair is extremely curly and long and gets in knots. But he advised everyone at clinic of the zinc study and suggest that we at least try the zinc 300mg a day to see if this helps. I get 75mg from my vitamins and cal mag and zinc pills so I'm going to take the Doc's advise and add 200 more mg a day to see if this helps. I never hurts to try and hey if it will keep my drains unclogged and my head full of hair I'll try anything. ston MGB 2/26/01 SW 376/TW 296/GW 150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
