Selenium aids hair loss in PCOS
Selenium Supplementation and the Effects on Reproductive Outcomes, Biomarkers of Inflammation, and Oxidative Stress in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
Direct focus on alopecia effectiveness
We conducted a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to explore how selenium supplementation may influence hair loss among women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In the study, 64 women aged 18-40 received either 200 μg of selenium daily or a placebo for eight weeks.
After the treatment period, we noticed a significant improvement in hair-related issues for those taking selenium. Specifically, alopecia rates dropped from 40.6% in the selenium group to just 9.4% in the placebo group, showing a strong positive effect of the supplement on hair loss. Acne also improved, with a reduction from 46.9% to 12.5%.
Furthermore, women who took selenium supplements exhibited decreased levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), hirsutism, and markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. However, it’s important to note that selenium did not show significant effects on some hormonal profiles and other biomarkers. Overall, our findings suggest that selenium can be beneficial for women with PCOS, particularly regarding hair loss and related symptoms.

Selenium may aid hair loss treatments
Efficacy and tolerability of an oral supplement containing amino acids, iron, selenium, and marine hydrolyzed collagen in subjects with hair loss (androgenetic alopecia, AGA or FAGA or telogen effluvium). A prospective, randomized, 3-month, controlled, assessor-blinded study.
Lower relevance due to combination
We conducted a thorough investigation into the effectiveness of a novel oral supplement containing selenium, among other ingredients, in addressing hair loss conditions like androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and telogen effluvium (TE). Our study involved 83 participants who were divided into two groups: one received the supplement alongside their prescribed treatments, while the other received only the treatments.
Over 12 weeks, we assessed the outcomes primarily through a global assessment score to see how much improvement, if any, participants experienced. Interestingly, we found that the supplement—rich in selenium, amino acids, and hydrolyzed collagen—enhanced the results for those undergoing anti-hair loss therapies.
In essence, the inclusion of selenium in this combination supplement appears to positively influence the effectiveness of standard treatments for hair loss. While our study was promising, it’s worth noting that deriving individual results for selenium alone is complicated since it was combined with other beneficial components.

Improved health
I was prescribed this for hyperthyroidism. Surprisingly, my health improved; my hair loss stopped, and I felt more energetic. My friend also found it useful for hair loss. The doctor recommended taking it regularly with meals, as it has a positive effect on thyroid function.

Noticed less hair loss
My hair has finally stopped falling out! At 54 years old and nearly through menopause, I faced significant hair loss for ten years. After trying various products without success, within days of taking this supplement, I noticed a shocking reduction in hair loss. Additionally, I feel more energetic, which supports my workouts, and I’ve experienced no side effects.

Significant hair loss
After two months on this product, I experienced significant hair loss. I advise researching before starting as Dr Ray Sahelian suggests not exceeding 5mg. If your scalp becomes itchy or you start losing hair, discontinue immediately.

Dramatic decrease noted
Biotin Plus for hair care! Before these supplements, I spent a lot on hair products with no results. About the fifth day in, my hair began to shine and feel firm. After adding selenium, my hair loss decreased dramatically! My hair transitioned from dry to shiny and firm almost overnight, allowing me to enjoy a hairstyle I had given up on.

Decreased fatigue
The complex is effective! I took it on my nutritionist's recommendation to restore thyroid functions. I felt better early on; energy improved, hair loss decreased, and my heartbeat stabilised. I recommend this essential vitamin for optimal body performance. It's simple for you, but I’m very pleased.
