Selenium, which is desperately lacking in our modern diets, has many benefits for our hair and skin, especially in food (Foodstate) form, which is much better absorbed, used and retained than standard chemical-form Selenium supplements
Hair: Research has shown that optimum Selenium:
- Significantly improves hair condition
- Significantly reduces brittle hair
- Helps reduce the incidence of split ends
- Can improve the “glowing appearance” of hair
- Can increase hair thickness and nail length
- Can, together with copper and zinc, help facilitate hair growth/help prevent hair loss
- Together with optimum copper and zinc helps reduce greying hair
Skin: Research has shown that optimum Selenium:
- Can increase skin thickness
- Reduces skin roughness and skin scaling
- Helps reduce acne symptoms and improves psoriasis symptoms
- Improves scalp and skin atopic dermatitis
People who experience Acne have been found to have low levels of selenium
Note: changing to a diet that contains more alkali forming foods rather than acid forming foods has been shown to help the condition of both Hair and Skin
