Vitamins Prevent Hair Loss: Vitamin A, B, C, D, and Vitamin E

[Guest guest]

Hope this helps...

(NaturalNews) Many nutrients have been shown to prevent hair loss and grow hair.

Hair loss can be caused by vitamin deficiency, or by other causes such as aging,

drug use, or infections. Adding vitamins to the diet grows hair by improving

circulation, reducing stress, and adjusting hormones, all of which are known

causes of hair loss.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is involved in the growth and maintenance of hair, as well as the

skin. Vitamin A regulates the synthesis of retinoic acid in the hair follicle.

Vitamin A is added to skin care products and is beneficial for hair growth as

well. It can be applied to the hair shaft and massaged in, as well as taken

internally.

B Vitamins

B vitamins help grow hair by aiding the body to handle stress and stress can

cause hair loss. Inositol, one of the B vitamins, has been shown to speed hair

growth. B12 is another B vitamin that prevents hair loss because B12 is a

component of the hair itself. Many people are deficient in this nutrient,

especially vegetarians, because B12 is mainly found in meat and eggs. The B

vitamins are best taken together and are frequently sold with the label B

Complex.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C also helps the body absorb iron, which is needed to grow hair. The

human body does not make its own vitamin C, so food or supplement sources are

required, such as fruits and vegetables. The recommended daily dose of vitamin C

is 1000 to 2000 mg a daily.

Vitamin D

Taking vitamin D stops hair loss. Research published in 2009 reports that

vitamin D has been used to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis for over 10

years. Vitamin D reduces hair loss by stimulating the hair follicle and the

cells that form the hair shaft. Following research that shows a worldwide

vitamin D deficiency epidemic, the recommended daily intake of vitamin D has

been changed from 400 to at least 1000 IU per day.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E builds capillaries in the body and improved blood flow on the scalp

encourages hair growth. Adding 400 IU a day of vitamin E to the diet stimulates

the hair follicles that grow hair. Vitamin E can also be massaged into the scalp

to encourage blood flow to the scalp.

Many whole foods contain bio-available vitamins, but adding supplements to the

diet increases the nutrition available in the blood stream to stimulate hair

growth.

Thanks, , I will try the other vitamins. I am also having hair loss with

methotrexate, even with folic acid and Vitamin D. Has anyone had any luck with

any of those nioxin type hair treatments? I don't know if they do any good with

medically induced hair thinning and I don't want to spend that kind of money if

they don't help.
