I stopped losing hair and my nails are stronger

I stopped losing hair and my nails are stronger “Before, I was losing hair but it stopped when I started taking selenium. Even my nails seem to be a lot stronger now,” says Maria Remenyi, a 70-year old lady who is amazed with the effect of the selenium tablets with zinc that she is taking.

Vanity makes a person do a lot of different things. Maria Remenyi, a vital 70-year old woman in incredibly good shape is the first to admit that. She is also eager to tell about her experience with selenium and zinc, two nutrients that are quite popular, especially among women. “I had read somewhere that selenium is beneficial for the quality of your hair and nails so I decided to give it a chance. Before, I was losing hair but that stopped once I started on the selenium tablets,” Maria Remenyi tells.

“What’s more,” she says, “my hair suddenly looked a lot healthier and my fingernails even got stronger. It was a really nice feeling. They used to break all the time before, but now they don’t.”

Busy life

Maria Remenyi, who is currently president of the Budapest Pensionist Club’s Association and is involved in encouraging elderly people to stay physically active and to take good care of their health, rather than sit around and drink beer and watch TV all day long. She is extremely busy and leads a very active life.
“Besides supporting strong nails and hair, the selenium and zinc tablets has boosted my immune system and keep me in good shape,” tells Maria Remenyi.

Science-based supplements

There are dozens of different selenium supplements on the shop shelves, and you can easily find a cheap product that seems like a good bargain. The question is: how good is the bargain once you look at the quality? With selenium, it is important that you choose the right kind, as some selenium products are hardly absorbed at all.

Organic or inorganic?

The inorganic selenium supplements are usually very inexpensive, but when you consider the fact that inorganic selenium is not very bio-available, you are better off opting for an organic supplement that has much higher absorption. The Danish company Pharma Nord has a special patented selenium yeast called SelenoPrecise, which contains over 30 different organic selenium species. It is able to document that 88.7% of its selenium content is absorbed.

Bio-availability and documentation are key points

Check this before you buy a Q10 product

Studies show that the best bio-availability is obtained when the active compound is dissolved in an oil of some sort and encapsulated in soft, light-protected (light destroys Q10) gelatin. There are many products out there that meet these requirements. However, this is not in any way a guarantee that they are absorbed well. The only way to make sure that a product has good bio-availability and is safe for consumption is to contact the manufacturer and ask for documentation for the following:

- that the product is non-crystalline

Q10 as a raw material consists of crystals which are not easily absorbed in the digestive system. It is therefore vital to transform the Q10 raw material to a homogenous and assimilable form that can ensure good bio-availability in the body. This would require the Q10 to be dispersed in oil, just like it would require the manufacturer to be familiar with the technique and patented method employed to change the Q10 molecules into a non-crystalline form.

- that the product is nature-identical

This entails that the Q10 molecules in the product are completely identical with the Q10 that the human body synthesizes in relatively small quantities. The body is not able to distinguish between nature-identical Q10 and the endogenously synthesized Q10.
