Hi!
I am on a nutritional protocol for adrenal fatigue. I noticed I am loosing my hair. Can this come from high doses of zinc or calcium. I have been on the zinc and calcium for 10 months now. I never lost my hair before.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,922,930I don't really know the answer but my hair loss got worse on RBTI and I was taking a lot of calcium, 3000-5000 mg a day. Could it be a detox symptom, the effect of metals floating around in the system?

This is a reply to # 1,923,027Thanks Guys for all the help.
I was thinking either to much zinc or calcium. I did cut back about 2 weeks ago on both. I was experiencing bloat. And now the hair loss. I think my body is telling me I do not need these amounts of zinc or calcium at this time. I have been on them for 10 months now. I was on Calcium 1600mg (approx) daily and zinc averaged out to about 110-152 mg daily (added othe supplements during the 10 month period that contained zinc). Now I am on calcium 500-600mg daily/zinc approx.50 mg daily. I did put an email into my Dr to see what she says. But in the mean time I am gonna back off both and see what happens. I am waiting for my kit to send in my 4 th hair analysis, but will not wait for answers, I may be bald by then.
Thanks again for all the help.

This is a reply to # 1,923,086500mg of zinc it's a way too much accoring to Drs Lam and Hveragethi. Lam does not recommend more than 30 mg a day, Hveragerthi does not recommend more than 50 mg. with 500 mg you may get a lot of problems.
It is suggested that one take around 450 mg of magnesium and calcium should be in 1 : 1 to magnesium. zinc 30 mg.

This is a reply to # 1,923,115Thanks Klauss,
I stopped taking it as of today. I have to listen to my body, it is telling me enough. I was on 110-150 mg of zinc for almost 9.5 months and then went down to 50mg 2 weeks ago due to bloat. Maybe now I will have better success with weaning off the hydrocortisone.
Thanks again,
Marie

This is a reply to # 1,923,187I have researched this in connection with zinc. I also posted several times on this forum about it. In addition to hair loss, I also had concurrent low libido. I took zinc for about 2 months. My highest dosage was 150mgs per day.
I traced this to manganese deficiency although never tested. Zinc supplementation depletes both iron and manganese and deficiencies in either can cause hair loss.- Re: Hair loss, zinc, calcium? Marie64

This is a reply to # 1,923,251Hi Zed12,
Thanks for the info. I am on limcomin which does include manganese. I may go see my GP just to get some blood work done in April and ask him to check my iron levels too.
Thanks,

This is a reply to # 1,923,463Hi Guys,
Got my answer today from my Practitioner. . . there are many reasons one may experience hair loss . . . nutritionally we will know more with your results. But there is definitely seasonal, stress, dietary, hormonal aspects that all may affect the hair and protein structures therein . .
So I have to wait to find the answer to the question for about a month when I get my hair analysis results back. I am taking a much smaller dose of zinc at this time. It seems like I am not loosing as much, but it is still coming out.

This is a reply to # 1,925,836thanks for the info, Marie. Hopefully it is nothing major and will decrease. I have days where i feel like I am throwing away handfuls of hair after a shower. Then recently i had 2 days in a row when i think i pulled out a total of 3 hairs while brushing and washing. I recently had a friend who is a hairdresser do some color for me and she said it didn't seem like much was coming out and that it's normal to lose about a 100 hairs a day and everyone goes in cycles of more or less.
This is comforting to know but I still have days where i lose a lot more than i ever did on any given day before getting sick. Would be nice to get to the bottom of what specifically is driving that.
