Mineral Deficiency, PCOS and Hair Loss


by admin on September 12, 2008

This Information was posted by Joan on this topic, Stacys Hair Loss Story Searching For Answers. There is some pretty interesting and important information here that can be further researched and discussed with your own doctor to perhaps aid in the treatment of hair loss and PCOS. I never overrule anything that may possibly help, but please definitely always consult a physician before taking anything. We are all individual and take different medications for a whole slew of other ailments, so we want to make sure that anything we take will sit in harmony with all the rest of our meds, and that there are no contraindications. Here is the post: Hi Folks, Its very sad to read all of these stories, but there may be help. It is perhaps very significant that many symptoms of PCOS can be found simply with zinc and manganese deficiency. Zinc deficiency causes hair loss, poor sugar metabolism, dandruff, acne, migraine headaches, menstrual irregularities, ovarian cysts, and infertility. Manganese deficiency causes poor sugar metabolism, migraine headaches, ovarian cysts, infrequent menstrual cycles, endometriosis, and infertility. The hyperglycemia in PCOS depletes the critical antioxidants copper zinc superoxide dismutase and manganese superoxide dismutase, as well as manganese-dependent arginase, all of which are low in PCOS. As a result, diabetics lose both zinc and manganese twice as fast as non-diabetics. The ovarian enzyme that is impaired in PCOS, causing increased androgens, is one that is targeted by dioxin and dioxin-like pollutants like PCBs and flame retardants-PBDEs. These chemicals are estrogenic compounds, all of which deplete zinc and manganese, starting a vicious cycle of hyperglycemia and continued loss of minerals. These and other estrogenic compounds may thus be the major cause of PCOS. They accumulate in fat, which would explain why losing weight helps PCOS. Zinc is also the pivotal mineral for losing weight, for many reasons.

Replenishing minerals has to be done slowly, because mineral supplementation affects other minerals. In addition, storage iron (as opposed to iron in the blood) is raised in PCOS, and copper and manganese are needed to safely absorb iron and put it into the blood, where it belongs. I dont have PCOS but I take 20-25 mg zinc, 10 mg manganese and 2-2.5 mg copper (for usable iron, also to balance the zinc at a 1:10 ratio max.), as well as 1 tablespoon cod liver oil every day (vitamin D and omega-3s are necessary to absorb the zinc). Zinc and copper must be taken at least 2 hours apart from each other for proper absorption. Exposure to estrogenic chemicals is so common now (bisphenol A plastics are everywhere, preservatives in our food, flame retardants in breastmilk!, etc.) that I think everyone needs basic mineral protection. I hope someone tries this formula, it should really be beneficial, but you have to be patient-it could take a few months or more for an effect.

Julia November 19, 2008 at 1:53 am Everyone, take note of Joans excellent suggestion. I am having tremendous success with zinc supplements, 75 mg/day. My scalp used to itch like mad and that has stopped. Even better, the amount of hair I lose every day has dropped to almost a normal rate and I have stubbly little hairs coming in! I think its going to grow back! My scalp feels so normal now instead of on fire, and that is an incredible feeling. I have been to three doctors and no one thought to suggest zinc. Cathy bailey November 21, 2008 at 10:00 am Sounds really great,Julia, how long did it take to improve? Did you also have a flakey scalp? ca Julia November 23, 2008 at 3:48 pm I did have a flakey, pink scalp. I had been told to use the shampoos medicated with ketocanazole, pyritione zinc, and coal tar, but they werent helping me much after months of use. I saw a slight improvement with the irritation a few days after I started on the supplements, and a small difference in the amount of hair I was losing, after about a week of taking the supplements. After two weeks both are even better. My mother and I agreed that less of my scalp is showing, which I think is because of the stubble hairs and the fact that Im not losing massive amounts of hair as it grows in. At its worst, my hair loss was between I-2 and I-3 on the Savin scale. For someone with more severe loss, maybe it would take longer to see a difference. There are a couple of case studies online and there the people took a few weeks to improve. Cathy bailey November 27, 2008 at 8:14 am Hi Julia, this is very good news. I dont often hear about how mineral help hair loss unless its iron. I did hear about a study that showed those with hair loss showed low zinc, calcium and manganese on a hair mineral analysis. Im low in manganese and zinc. My hair loss has been going on for many years. I dont know its candida or fungus in my hair or systemic, or mineral deficiencies, or both. I was taking lots of zinc and doc said to slow down because I might develop a copper def. IN any case, Im taking a super power packed multi mineral/vitamine called Truehope which is supposed to cure mental disorders. Im not sick, but its so comprehensive and full of good minerals, it should help my hair. Lets put it this way, if it doesnt help my hair, nothing will. Please keep in touch. Did you have any other signs of zinc deficiency? Im very happy for you. cath Please tell me more about how your hair started to fall and if you were also low in iron. Also, plese direct me to these case studies youve mentioned. Julia November 27, 2008 at 1:30 pm In my case I started to notice significant hair loss when I started working out seriously and eating less meat and more vegetables, and losing weight. I dont get it. Maybe my body had higher demands for zinc with all the exercise. Maybe I have a genetic predisposition for needing more zinc and all of these demands on my body just made that tendency shine forth. My grandma has chronic eczema, which is a sign of zinc deficiency..maybe she and I have this in common? All I can do is guess. I did have other signs of zinc deficiency. Eczema, dermatitis, general feeling of weakness. One case study: http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/117971160/abstract. A study of interest but not conclusive, no controls, etc: http://bariatrictimes.com/2008/09/19/the-lateston-nutrition-and-hair-loss-in-the-bariatric-patient/ There isnt a lot of research out there but there are a couple more case studies you can find w/google. Im still exploring as much as I can other

ways to help myself. Cathy, are you seeing any changes from your supplements? Cathy bailey December 11, 2008 at 8:58 am HI Julia, Ive been on this power packed supplement since Nov 18. I take about 8/day. There is still no change and today its Dec. 10. I would have supposed a change by now. Still lots of hair loss. Im beginning to think its not nutritional. I could have candida (I have lots of intestinal gas) Ive been using Nizoral/T gel wihout much relief. I do have a fair bit of flaking on my scalp, but no sign of serious dermatitis/psoriasis. My thyroid meds may be the wrong dosage. Its really driving me crazy. I always have new growth, but it never is enough to make it get thicker, its always thinner. The endo docs are so useless. they dont seem to know which dosage I need to be on..:-( cathy P.S.My blood test showed Im low in zinc, manganese, vanadium. Cathy bailey December 11, 2008 at 9:02 am Julia, Im taking a holistic nutrition course at night and Im learning that animal products are a better source of zinc. (oysters are loaded with them).Vegetarianism isnt such a good idea if your ancestors for many years were carnivores. I began losing my hair 30 years ago. It all started with a vegetarian diet. I was being stupid. Many people need to pay attention to their body type and diet. Im a B type and I can eat everything, including meat. I suspect you need animal products to keep up your mineral levels. Good luck and keep me posted. Julia December 11, 2008 at 11:49 pm Cathy, I am with you on the vegetarianism thing. I really, really need protein. I used to eat very little protein and be extremely active. I wasnt thinking! It was all wrong for my body. Now when I eat, all I think about is the protein content. (My new thing is lentils, I think they are the ultimate food. I have good and bad days, but recently my shed is around 25 to 30 hairs. This makes me want to sing from rooftops! This is when Ive had my hair in braids all day, shampoo and condition, and then comb it out. So thats a full day worth of shed. And you better believe I comb and count meticulously! Please God, let this keep up and bring the new hairs in. Cathy bailey December 14, 2008 at 3:16 pm Hi Julia, Firstly, Im so happy about your hair regrowth!! I dont think enough women know about it. They know more about iron/hair loss, than zinc/hair loss. Ive been reading about the importance of biotin and think I may have a def. because I seem to have characteristics of it: probably candida, brittle nails, hair loss, flaking. I have no sign of skin problems other than my scalp. The more I read about biotin, the more I realize that candida and a biotin def. occur together. Ive just bought a whooping 5 mg bottle and started taking 2 twice/day. If Ive got candida, which I think I do, it will prevent the biotin from being made in the gut. I also probably need to eat more probiotics. Im already taking alot of B vitamins but now Ill try this mega dose of biotin and see what happens. Im just so sick of this hair shed, my left side is thinner than my right, and I feel so lop sided. Read this: :Alternative Medicine Review: Biotin, on the net. A very good explanation of the bodys need for biotin. Also read this from Dr. C. Pfeiffer, who was a mineral genius who wrote another book all about zinc. Here he discusses the dangers of vegetarianism: another important nutrient that may be lacking in a vegetarian diet is zinc. Most vegetarians not only swear off meat, a good source of zinc, but usually accompany this with increased consumption of foods rich in phytates (beans, legumes, grains) which bind zinc, calcium, and other minerals in

the digestive system. This can become a major problem if large quantities of phytate rich foods are consumed. Adding to the danger of low zinc satus is the declining trace mineral content of edible plants, epsecaily grains, as a result of soil exhaustion (without replacement) and overuse of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers. Zinc insufficiency is one of the greatest and least known dangers of vegetarianism. The individual who does not eat meat must be careful to fill the need for zinc adequately probably thourh a tablet supplement. From Mental and Elemental Nutrients, Keats publ, 1975 P.S. I make lentil and pea soup alot, my kids love it! Joan Tendler February 24, 2009 at 7:34 am Hi Julia and Cathy, Sorry, I have not checked back for a long time and I hope you still do. Im really happy about your experience with zinc-I would just like to encourage you to take manganese as well, and a little copper. High doses of zinc, like youre taking, actually deplete manganese as well as copper, and a manganese and functional copper deficiency could be just as problematic for hair loss. For example, manganese is required for biotin to work in the body. Copper deficiency causes rough hair, split ends, and loss of pigment-definitely something to be avoided! A telling sign of a manganese deficiency is reddish hair. Manganese is one of the least toxic of the trace minerals, and 5 mg/day would be no problem, especially for someone experiencing hair loss (maybe even more for a while). Getting all this in your food would be great but difficult if youre really low, so maybe a combination of really upping zinc, manganese and copper in food (great list of food sources: http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=115 , http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=77 and http://www.whfoods.com /genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=53 ), and taking some supplements until hair loss stops would work. Its easy to get out of balance when supplementing with minerals, and food provides various complementary nutrients (like riboflavin B2- is essential to safely bind copper, and copper and manganese are essential to safely bind iron, etc.) so whole foods can give you that (nuts and seeds -esp. pumpkin and sesame- and lentils-as both of you already know- are packed with all of these nutrients-just presoak them overnight or so before toasting or cooking and youll decrease the phytates to release the zinc). Just a word about getting zinc from meat-meat also contains high amounts of iron that is absorbed by the body whether the body can safely bind it or not, so it can become unbound and toxic, as it is in PCOS. Manganese is required to put iron into the blood, and a copper protein is an important iron carrier, so just eating meat wont help with low-blood iron if you are low in manganese and functional copper (both are generally low in meat, just high in liver). Spirulina is a great source of protein and safe vegetable iron-I mix it into pina colada juice. Chlorella is a potent source of copper. I too used to be a vegetarian and I felt run down, but I also ate sugar then, which depletes zinc, so it may have been more the sugar than not taking in enough zinc. Im also much more balanced now with a fishaterian diet, and I feel great. Speaking of B2, if you take copper supplements, or chlorella, you should probably take B2 supplements. 200-400 mg of B2/day (in small doses spread out throughout the day) also prevents migraine headaches, which are probably a copper problem (a friend with terrible migraines tried this and it worked!). B2 is needed to activate B3, B6, and folic acid, plus it is low in the diet and is depleted by chemicals, so it is a very important vitamin. One good thing about taking a few critical supplements separately, rather than one multi-vitamin and mineral pill, is that most minerals compete with each other, with macrominerals being absorbed first. So, if youre taking a pill that contains calcium, magnesium and other macrominerals, the zinc and manganese may not even be absorbed. Plus, if you take zinc with copper, the zinc takes out the copper, possibly depleting both (this is my own speculation, but the zinc definitely has an antagonistic effect on copper, I suppose the actual effect depends on how much of each is taken and what the body needs). Also, you can spread small doses of your critical minerals out over the day so its better absorbed. All my best, Joan

Julia March 22, 2009 at 11:27 am Thanks for the advice, Joan! I did not know that about manganese. Julia March 22, 2009 at 11:37 am Joan, a couple of questions for you In your research/reading, have you seen any reason that weight loss or anesthesia would cause a mineral imbalance? Im just curious because these are the two things that precipitated weight loss for me. First weight loss with a restrictive vegetarian diet, then surgery. Both made my hair fall out like mad. The only thing that stopped my hair loss after surgery was zinc supplements. Also, have you noticed any results from your supplements? Less hair loss, better health overall, fewer migraines? Just curious! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. c. eldridge March 24, 2009 at 4:59 pm Hi, I am a 62 yr woman and i have experienced hair loss for the past 7 to 10 years. being a afro-american when if keep my hair braided and not comb it for three months at a time,my hair will grow, however, i am tired of wearing a wig. what test can i take to see if i am deficient of any of these so mentioned minerals. Julia March 30, 2009 at 8:55 pm C. Eldridge, I found out I needed more zinc by accident. I started taking the supplement and it eased my scalp peeling so quickly (and slowed how fast my hair was slowing down) that I knew my problem had been related to zinc. So, I dont know about blood tests. My suggestion would be to try the supplement regimen Joan recommended and see if it helps you at all. If your hair is growing fine when you are in braids and not using a comb, maybe you are having a problem with breakage and not with hair loss. My hair was falling out at the root. I would rather have breakage, personally, because you can still wear a short cut and look cute. Keep us updated, I wish you the best with your hair growth. Cathy bailey April 1, 2009 at 9:21 am Hey gang, I tried taking biotin in large doses everyday and it really helped, but then I had breast surgery and leaked fluid (not blood) for a month. I supposed I should have stepped up my multivitamins and iron, because my hair started shedding and falling like crazy. I had a blood test that showed my ferritin had dropped to 28!! Now Im back to where I was last year, working to get my iron up. I now work in a health food store and have discounts on all sorts of supplements. Im going to try supplementing with mang., cal, iron and lots of green supplements. This such a never ending battle with me. It also seems that whenever I start a job (I work now and then) that my hair really falls. If stress is a factor, then I think my hair will never grow inbecause it seems Im always under stress (2 ADHD kids and an OCPD husband) Any comments, please? I also have perennial dandruf.cathy:-( Kris July 3, 2009 at 11:06 pm does anyone know if the contraception pill helps with pcos hair loss? there are too many different answers on the web. has it helped anyone? iam 21yrs old, not overweight and i have pcos. the only side effects of pcos that i have is hair loss. i still have normal periods and no facial hair, only loss of

hair on my scalp. can anyone help me with any answers? Tatyana October 1, 2009 at 12:48 pm Julia, How many times a week do you take zinc and do you take additionally copper? I was trying to take zinc 30 mg and vitamins for hair ( that had zinc 15 already) but did not have copper and I noticed lots of shedding, that is when I figured I was missing copper and I stopped. I am trying to find a balance between iron supplements, I take over 100mg and zinc? I think when I started taking iron, (low ferritin level), plus prenatal vitamins (they have iron), it depleted my zinc so cant find this balance. How do you balance zinc and copper and how often you take it? I read on some websites that you are supposed to supplement zinc only for 2 weeks. Emma June 4, 2010 at 7:17 pm I am so Glad I found this site, I have been struggling with hyperglycemia and hair loss since. This was not an issue until 6 years after my hysterectomy my whole metabolism changed. I have been chalking it all up to agingNow I see there is a culprit. I am going to read more and try to reverse some of these effects. My hair loss was the final blow I was at a scrapbooking event at work and when I got the pictures back there it was clean as day you could see my scalp through my thinning hair.. how embarrassing and sad. I had heard Zinc shampoo would help, but it did not. that what lead me to look deeper. Thanks for being here, I know see light at the end of this hopeless tunnel. Kort July 15, 2010 at 8:28 pm sorry i couldnt help but giggle at this LaShunda 09.14.08 at 11:49 am I woke up today and I washed my hair and I condition it and Im so genital with ever string of my hair. .. ok grow up I know. thank u joan for the suggestion. funny that no ones though of it before. Ill have to give it a try. like Julia my hairloss has trippled (was already horrible but sheesh). Im on a strick low carb, low calorie diet and am having good success losing weight but never put two and two together to realize the recent rise in extra hair loss could have something to do with less zinc from meat. Im not vegetarian but I eat VERY little meat like maybe 2 ounces a week. excess hair where i dont want it, not enough where i do just cant win with PCOS. Kort July 15, 2010 at 8:37 pm @Kris: if hairloss is your only symptom of PCOS, perhaps your doctor jumped the gun diagnosing you with PCOS. Some believe that doctors are diagnosing women with PCOS when they arent just saying. usually 1 singular symptom is not enough to be diagnosed with a disease. @Emma: the difference between shampoos vs. pills/supplements could be that some minerals cannot be absorbed through the skin but instead have to be consumed. Zinc shampoos are similar to collagen shampoos, they dont work because as far as collagen goes it cant be absorbed through skin. its just a gimmick to get consumers to spend their money. try the new hollywood shampoo that stars use to stay looking young. NOT! their secret to staying young looking is plastic surgery. arent prenatal pills supposed to be good? i know they contain iron right? ive heard women say it helps. arent we not supposed to take too much iron? i was always kind of scared about those. do we take them daily? khia October 18, 2010 at 2:13 pm I am so glad I found this site. I am a cosmetologist an find very often that my clients in their 40s are sheddding hair. A few of them are diabetic, pcos and some are on high blood pressure meds. I myself suffer from pcos and fertility issues and have notices hair thinning,reddish hair and brittleness over the past few years.I started prenatial vitamins 2 months ago and the shedding doesnt seem as bad although I still notice an excess amount per day. Do u think zinc and

I want to first write that I am not a fan of hair transplants for women, I personally think that most women with androgenetic alopecia are NOT candidates for this procedure. Having said that, I get emailed all the time from women looking for a good hair transplant surgeon. If you are deadset on having a consultation, please visit the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons. The IAHRS (http://www.iahrs.org) is an organization that selectively screens skilled and ethical hair transplant surgeons. Read my thoughts about hair transplants here.
