Today we’re going to talk about hair loss and trace minerals. If you’re deficient in trace minerals, you could be losing your hair—but why? 

What is a trace mineral?
A trace mineral is a mineral that’s needed in very tiny (or trace) amounts. Trace minerals are helper nutrients in enzymes and proteins. 

In your cells, you have tiny biological machines, which are proteins and enzymes. Those little proteins do the work of the body. They build certain body tissue, they break things down, and they are involved in all sorts of biochemistry. 

Important trace minerals for hair:

1. Iron
If you’re anemic and you’re deficient in iron, one symptom can be hair loss. 

2. Silicon 
Silicon helps with the structure of your hair.

3. Zinc 
If you’re deficient in zinc, you could develop male pattern baldness. 

4. Copper 
Copper is involved with the color of your hair and building collagen. 

5. Selenium 
This is one of the most powerful antioxidants.

These trace minerals can help with:
 • Making protein 
 • Hair length 
 • Hair integrity 
 • Hair growth 

Alopecia could be due to a deficiency in:
 • B3
 • Biotin 
 • Vitamin E
 • Selenium 
 • Vitamin A 

If you have dry hair, you may need essential fatty acids. It could also be that you can’t digest the fats because of a gallbladder problem, a missing gallbladder, or a lack of bile salts. Or, you may not have enough good bacteria to recycle bile.
