Today I’m going to share the three best trace minerals for alopecia.
Alopecia is an autoimmune disease that causes patches of hair loss on the scalp. This is also sometimes a side effect of other autoimmune diseases, like Hashimoto’s or lupus.
Trace minerals are minerals needed in tiny amounts and have profound effects on the body. Related to hair loss, trace minerals can potentially help prevent and treat autoimmune diseases and help build up hair protein.
The best trace minerals for alopecia:
1. Iodine (200 mcg per day)
The best sources:
• Seafood
• Sea salt
• Sea kelp or seaweed
2. Zinc (50 mg per day)
The best sources:
• Meat
• Fish
• Seafood
• Beef liver
• Eggs
3. Selenium (50 to 200 mcg per day)
The best source:
• Brazil nuts (one per day)
Other important nutrients for hair loss:
• Iron
• Vitamin B12
• Vitamin D
• Biotin
• Folate

Thank you doc for sharing really important information about alopecia I really appreciate it
Thank you for this valuable information. I’m hoping someday you’ll touch on the subject of Lichen Planopilaris frontal fibrosis alopecia.
Another great informative video. Whenever I complain to my Dr about losing excessive amounts of hair, he increases my iodine and adds selenium for 2-3 months and problem is fixed, until the next time. I think it’s stress causing my deficiencies.
When I was stationed on Adak Alaska. I only got to see 2 weeks of sunlight in 12 months. I started to get small bald spots 6 months into my deployment. The base doctors had no idea what caused my hair loss. When I left the island and started to get sunlight my hair came back.
this is the problem with medical doctors today. they don’t consider obvious issues like lack of sun or diet & nutrition and lifestyle.
Wow😮
@Cassandra Chestnut
I think nutrition in med school is an elective.

@Martin Jaramillo i find it surprising honestly.
Excellent as always Dr Berg! My cousin was asking about this very subject last week… Glad to have more info to share with her!

Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
He just had a video about making sure you had copper along with the zinc so we should put that in as well, especially for autoimmune disease.
Thanks for the breakdown!
Thank you fidel.
Thank you so much….
Keratine and Silicium are big ones for hair
Thankyou Dr. Berg. Your knowledge and guidance is priceless.
I had this @ age 32, dermatologist said I needed steroid shots under scalp which I refused, used omegas 3,5,6,7,9, B12 sublingual and my hair came back, I tested this with 3 other people who had the same bald spots and it worked. We all had excessive stress due to different issues, some work, divorce and family issues, but vitamins Do work
Try to avoid omega 6 in large amounts, it’s actually really bad for you.
@Kai Be Where do you get all the Omega, s?
I had restless leg in one week of magnesium it was gone.
Take ashwaghanda to reduce cortisol(stress)
@Jennifer Slambert all these type of Omegas can be found in “sea buckthorn oil “. It contains complex of all Omegas in it…….
I lost 1/3rd of my hair after Covid last spring and summer. My nutrition was great but COVID killed off my hair follicles. In August, I increased my protein intake w whey protein a few x a week and collagen peptides every other day and I add 5 grams of Leucine to both. I am 60 yr old woman and had always had full shiny hair but now it is regrowing and the new hair is about 3 inches long. Also a lot of toothpastes now are really bad!
Same! I had excessive hair loss after covid. My aunt who is a hair dresser confirmed that she had many clients who showed hair loss after covid. I took a hair supplement and they were back.
I had two crop circles on the back of my head….and one in my right eyebrow. Switched diets, started eating only meat, eggs, cheese. Within a month, my crop circles disappeared. As well – bloating, mind fog, acid reflux disappeared as well. Iodine in my water was also something I embraced.
Dr. Berg’s video is so much clearer and better now, it seems they have changed a camera, it’s beautiful, it’s nice and easy to the eyes. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Thank you Dr. Berg. I shared one of your videos with my mom regarding her dizzy spells and the vitamins you suggested worked immediately! I’m now requesting your advice on bug repellent. I live in Florida – enough said – and don’t want to use OFF spray. Please help !
Your video editing, lighting and insert images are always so well done! Kudos to not only your contact, but your production team!
WHOA ! THIS was a powerful post !! And makes the most sense of everything I’ve ever heard anywhere. Especially the flouride and mercury !! Good job Dr. Berg !
Wanted to add, other reasons for hair loss include:
Iron deficiency
Magnesium deficiency
Omega 3 deficiency (hair may be dry, possibly brittle)
Thyroid levels that are not optimal
Good luck!
My dad had these spots in his hair. He took B12 and I believe vitamin K and his hair grew back.
