Selemium is useful in keeping youthful elasticity in tissues. It alleviates hot flushes and menopausal distress. It also helps in the prevention and treatment of dandruff. This mineral is found in Brewer’s yeast, garlic, onions, tomatoes, eggs, milk, and seafood. There is no official dietary allowance for selemium but, 50 to 100 mcg. is considered adequate.
