Vitamins For Hair Loss - Can Vitamins Really Fix Your Hair Loss Problems?

There's so much stuff out there for preventing hair loss.   Creams, gels, laser treatments and even more quick fix hair loss products!   Will all of these high-tech, well funded, well researched prodcuts out there it's easy to get caught up in the hype.  So, can something as simple as vitamins really help?  The short and honest answer is, it depends...Not much of an answer, I know.   As with many things there are a lot of variables, so it definitely does depend.  

However, most of us aren't getting the amount of vitamins and nutrients we need - which can definitely add to hair loss issues.   If you fall into this group then I think that focusing on vitamins for hair loss really can help you!  There are a plethora of vitamins and nutrients, which ones should we focus on?

There are quite a few B vitamins which contribute to keeping your hair healthy and growing

• Biotin (B7): Helps your body strengthen your hair by improving elasticity and making follicles stronger and thicker. A supplement taken orally and ingested is the most effective means of boosting biotin levels. Although found in food (eggs, liver), it is hard to get enough biotin out of food to make a difference.

• Niacin (B3): This b vitamin helps enhance scalp circulation. In turn this can help spark hair regrowth. Regrowth from older follicles is going to help us keep more hair!

• Folic Acid (B9): Folic acid plays a large role in the body. Your body uses B9 to promote a healthy nervous system. One of the secondary benefits which we're interested in is the prevention of thinning hair.

Vitamin E has also been known to cause a host of health benefits! This wonder vitamin helps keep your skin moist. Moist, healthy, hydrated skin can do wonders for hair growth and hair loss prevention! Be careful not to take too much vitamin E as it can cause blood thinning!

Vitamins have a whole host of known and unknown benefits!  On top of the listed reasons to take B3, B7, B9, Biotin and Vitamin E supplements there are also some great side effects!  You'll see improved circulation, moist skin and concentration among many other improvements!   Niacin helps enlarge blood vessals.  Folic acid is believed to have a cancer preventing role.  Most vitamins are synergetic menaing they work together to create even more health benefits, so getting the daily recommended level of vitamins is very important.

On a final note - If you do decide to jump into a vitamin regime, I would recommend researching the benefits of oraganic vitamins.  Derived from whole foods, you may see greater results over there synthetic counterparts.   Synthetic vitamins are produced by chemial sythesis and contain artificial colouring as well as preservatives!  More junk we don't really need in our bodies!
