Can Vitamins Cure Hair Loss?
Although there are many causes for hair loss, an insufficient
diet has been found to be a major hair loss cause. B vitamins deficiency
- especially B6, inositol, Biotin, and folic acid can result in
hair loss. The B vitamins, especially B5 (pantothenic acid) and
B3 (Niacin) are required for the growth of hair follicle.

In order to cure hair loss, vitamin supplement intake
should be performed carefully. Research shows that excessive intake
of vitamin B6 in most cases results in stimulated hair growth. In
most cases deficiency in folic acid causes complete baldness.
The main function of Vitamin E is to transport oxygen
in the blood and improves the scalp circulation. Vitamin E will
enhance the immune function and thereby the hair health gets improved.
So we can say Vitamin E is another hair loss vitamin. Vitamin E
can be consumed @ 400 IU daily.
We can call vitamin C also as hair loss vitamin since
it improves circulation of the scalp and maintains all capillaries,
which carry blood to the follicles. This vitamin may be consumed
5,000 mg daily.
Other hair loss vitamins are Biotin, Inositol, and
B-Vitamins. Biotin maintains the health of the hair. You should
eat plenty of food to prevent hair loss due to biotin deficiency.
You can also consume 50 mg of Biotin twice daily through food. The
following food contains a lot of biotin: bulgur, green peas, lentils,
walnuts, sunflower seeds, soybeans, oats, bulgur, Brewer’s
yeast and brown rice. Inositol is also considered a hair loss vitamin.
To stimulate hair growth you should consume100 mg twice daily.
A deficiency of vitamin A may also be the cause of hair loss. Once
the intake of Vitamin A is stabilized, the hair loss may be stopped.
For better growth of hairs, B vitamins are necessary.
Among the B vitamins, Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic
acid) and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) are termed as hair loss vitamins.
B vitamins are rich in food like bran, nuts, eggs, soybeans, cauliflower,
carrots, peas, and beans. Intake of these vitamins will help to
improve quality, texture, and growth of hair. |
