Hair mineral analysis results?

[Abzieg]

Hi please can someone help interpret my results.

Calcium/magnesium - 23:1 - isn't this quite high? Should I start supplementing magnesium?

My magnesium level in the hair analysis is 36 on reference 60-160

Could this be causing hairloss?

Thankyou x

In recent blood results my magnesium read 0.88 with no figures for ranges😡

My "crowning glory" is covered with an assortment of fedoras, my dark thick eyebrows have become a third of their length. Bone loss has made me toothless.

WHY........ The lady has several autoimmune diseases.........

Abzieg, I bought Magnesium Flakes online. It's a 1kg resealable packet of Super saturated pharmaceutical grade magnesium chloride flakes from the Zechstein seabed. It is a foot and body soak. I used it a couple of times before I got bloods done. Google it. I prefer to get supplements this way if possible, mainly because I am taking enough medication orally.

Happy days

Hi Jose - if it helps my plasma magnesium results were 0.70 nmol and the reference is 0.70- 1.00. Although I've heard plasma results are useless in determine defociency as they only measure 1% of magnesium.

Do you think I should have an auto immune blood test for hairloss? And does low magnesium contribute to it? I'm

So lost! How many mg do you take a day?

I put a couple of handfuls in a dish of water and stick my tootsies in for half an hour or so. It makes me piddle a lot !!!

Have you every had your Vit B12 tested?

I may try the salts. I've been taking 500mg magnesium

Chelated for 2 days now. I had my b12 tested it came back at 411 on a reference 187 - 883 not sure this is low enough for hair loss though?

I don't know about contributing to your hair loss but your B12 is too low at 411. It is better to be at the top of the range. In Japan they treat at 500.
