Hair Growth Vitamins
Hair, like any other part of the body needs nutrients to help it grow properly. Vitamins, of course are one of the sources of nutrients for your hair and can be a natural hair loss treatment. Now there can be difficulties with getting enough vitamins to your scalp to feed your hair, which can be behind what causes baldness. The first challenge is that for a lot of people they just are not getting enough vitamins into their diet due to the food they eat. My advice to these people would be to try and ensure that they are getting their five a day in terms of fruit and vegetables, and failing that then they need to take supplements to boost their vitamin intake.
What may also occur to stop your hair in getting a good amount of vitamins to it is that if your body needs these nutrients elsewhere, then they will go elsewhere first and not the scalp. So to summarize when your body needs to repair somewhere, then it will pull the nutrients to that particular point and whats left will then go elsewhere.
Coming back to the food side of things, a healthy diet is important for you in so many aspects in your general health and not just hair, but sometimes because of the way food is produced and transported these days, even taking your five a day may not be enough to get you all your vitamins that you need, this can mean even less nutrients for your hair. And on top of that there are two ingredients that are regularly put in our food which are not good for us in excessive amounts anyway, and can affect the hair and they are sugar and salt, but there are vitamins that can combat these too, and we’ll take a look at them now.
Retinol which is found in Vitamin A is believed to be particularly helpful. You are looking to take between 10,000 to 25000 IU’s, and the amount varies depending on your size i.e. the bigger you are the more you take.
The other vitamin which is needed is B. Easily available as a supplement Vitamin B is highly regarded in the battle against hair loss. One thing to bear in mind if you supplement with vitamin B is that your body will only use what it needs and excrete what it does not so you may find your urine going an interesting shade of yellow.
Vitamin C is next up. Be careful with vitamin C as taking too much can lead to an upset stomach. To get best results take somewhere between 300 and 400 mg.
Another vitamin to add to the list is vitamin E. This is another vitamin that you need to adjust the dosage to you size. You should have somewhere between 400 and 800 mg but try not to exceed 800mg. For those that struggle digesting fats vitamin E is also available in soluble form.
Finally there is vitamin H (which is really a vitamin B). This vitamin is rumored to be essential for slowing hair loss. If you are lacking in this vitamin, then on the whole it will show up with you having thinning hair. It works best when taken with the other B vitamins and you need to be having around 300mg.
There you go then, some of the main vitamins that help to how to prevent hair loss, however before you start taking supplements you may want to check with your physician first, just to make sure you are not going to have any adverse side effects and also they will be able to help advise you on dosage levels.
