Gender dependent differences in hair calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus, and zinc

Gender is an important factor in the intermediary metabolism of CaH, MgH, KH, NaH, PH, and ZnH ; every analyzed element showed a specific logistic sigmoid saturation curve of median derivates. Regardless of the element, hair concentrations below the 20% saturation indicate an obviously inadequate intake, whereas those over the 80% indicate an overexposure. The dose-response range between the 20 and 80% was both proportional and highly linear for all the studied hair elements. We propose that the gender element specific logistic sigmoid curve of median derivates should be saturated 60-80% if a plentiful dietary intake of Ca, Mg, Na, K, P, and Zn is preferred.
