When I worked on the psych unit at our hospital the psychiatrist

would advise our patients taking Depakote (which can cause major hair

thinning) to take a supplement called Selenium. Well, I'm not taking

Depakote, but I had noticed over the last couple of years that the

drain seemed to have a little more hair in it than I liked. So.... I

went to good old Wal-mart and picked up a bottle. I have taken a

capsule(200 mg each) twice a day for the last 6 months and have

noticed that the drain (and the brush) don't claim as much of my hair

anymore. Just a thought. Check with Dr. R first just in case it

could interact with the malabsorbtion or one of the other supplements.
