....I haven't had any luck with the hair shampoos, etc. Just wasted

my money really. I've tried everything....even the Nioxin. With aging,

we lose hair also. I wish I could find something that would work....

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.

> (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.

Me too, a! I've discovered that Vitamin B makes my hair grow faster, but

haven't found anything to date that makes it stop falling out, which is what I

really want. I can't afford to lose too much more or I'll be checking out wigs.
