In addition to the supplements of zinc and selenium that I take, my multivitamin also has some in it. Combined, the selenium amount is 150 mcg. and the zinc is 27 mg.
I need to do some reading on this. I really went kind of blindly into this, having heard from folks here that these would help with the hair loss, but I don't know if I need both or is one more important than the other, etc. Plus, having read that abstract about selenium and people with squamous cell skin cancers, which is in my family history (plus I had multiple sunburns as a young child and have the same skin type as my mom who has the squamous cell cancers)......I wonder if I should be taking the selenium supplement.
What amounts do you suggest?
