Selenium aids hair loss in PCOS
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.

We explored a novel approach to treat androgenetic alopecia (AGA) using microneedles that deliver selenium nanoparticles. The study designed a biocomposite patch to improve the environment around hair follicles by enhancing blood flow and reducing inflammation.
When tested on mice, this microneedle system showed promise in boosting hair density and enlarging hair follicles. However, while the results are encouraging, further research is needed to confirm its effectiveness in humans.

Selenium supplementation may help hair loss
We examined how selenium supplementation influences hair loss in women undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. This study involved 31 patients who received 200 micrograms of selenium daily.
Over three months, we noticed significant improvements: hair loss decreased, alongside reductions in discomfort and fatigue. While selenium levels in patients' hair didn't increase markedly after the first month, serum levels rose significantly.
Ultimately, selenium appears beneficial as a supportive treatment in managing hair loss during chemotherapy.

Reduced hair loss

Since starting selenium, my health has improved significantly. My sleep returned to normal, I wake up on time, and my thinking has become clearer, with fewer headaches. The condition of my facial skin has also improved, with small pimples disappearing. I noticed the positive effects almost immediately, including much less hair loss in the shower. For anyone facing this issue, I recommend trying it, as I experienced no side effects.

Hair restoration success
Selenium has become an essential part of my daily routine. Two years ago, I struggled with severe hair loss due to Hashimoto's thyroid condition. After researching, I decided to incorporate certain nutrients, including selenium. Over these two years, my hair loss condition has significantly improved, and I am thrilled to say that I have got my hair back!

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.

I wanted to improve my hair, after reading positive comments about its effects. However, I fell ill beneath my left rib after starting selenium. Although I took only one supplement daily for a couple of weeks, I observed that my hair began to fall out. A laboratory analysis confirmed an overdose of selenium in my body. After stopping the supplement, the pain subsided. So, it's crucial to take tests before starting any supplements. Instead of achieving hair growth, I ended up with hair loss.

Long-term aid for hair loss
If you have hypothyroidism, selenium is essential for lifelong daily use, around 200 days. I find it economical and effective. I usually source it from the pharmacy, and this option is less expensive. It has a significant effect on hair loss, especially when combined with zinc.
