A couple of months ago I decided to add a multivitamin pill to my daily routine. According to several Scandinavian doctors zinc should play a significant role in the hairloss process. I'm telling you - generally Scandinavian doctors know their sh*t.
Funny, I can't find as many webpages in English about zinc's role. But there are many Danish websites which are stating the above.
I'll just translate one article:
"Swedish scientists discovered that the lack of zinc play a considerably role in the hairloss process. They discovered that men with hairloss tendencies had unusual low zinc levels in their blood... Stress, tiredness and chock can tricker hairloss too. Scientists have messured the zinc level in men that lived under extreme stress. The zinc level in their hair fell drastically. So does the zinc level when you undergo surgeries.
It could be a good idea to take zinc supplements when experiencing either hairloss, stressfull situations and after illness."
Original Danish article:
"Svenske forskere har fundet ud af, at mangel på zink spiller en betydelig rolle ved hårtab. De opdagede, at folk med tendens til hårtab havde unormalt lavt zinkindhold i blodet. Man antager også, at zink kan modvirke generende skæl. Stress, træthed og chok kan få mange til at tabe håret. Forskere har da også målt zinkniveauet hos personer, der blev udsat for ekstrem stress. Zinkindholdet i deres hår faldt markant. Det gør zinkindholdet også, når man gennemgår operationer. Det er måske en god idé at tage et ekstra tilskud zink ved hårtab, i stressede situationer og efter sygdom."
