If You Suffer From Hair Loss, Have You Considered Vitamin Deficiency As The Cause?

If you suffer from hair loss, vitamin deficiency may be contributing to it. Let's consider if there is a link between vitamins and hair loss and whether it is possible, by improving your diet, to use vitamins for hair loss to help combat that approaching baldness problem.

It is quite clear that the average American diet is very low in essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Our diet is too high in fast foods and processed foods and we eat too much sugar, salt and saturated fat. Whilst these foods are very tasty, they are very low in essential nutrients. It is also patently clear that this contributes heavily to a wide range of health problems, some of which, such as heart disease, can be fatal.

Clearly there is a link between our poor diet and our poor health so it makes complete sense that the health of our hair can be compromised by a poor diet. And research shows that hair health is heavily dependent on a good supply of vitamins and minerals and that a diet low in these will produce hair which is unhealthy, which is thinner and weaker than it should be and which does not replace itself very successfully. This can lead to advancing baldness.

But despite this clear diet And hair loss link, is using vitamins for hair loss effective? Can you reverse your hair loss problem simply by improving what you eat?

The vast majority of baldness, particularly in men, is caused by male pattern baldness. Male pattern baldness results in the male hormone DHT slowly limiting the ability of hair follicles to take up essential nutrients. The ability of the hair to take up nutrients is limited and where, by reason of poor diet, there is also a lack of nutrients available, the problem becomes worse. Simply increasing the availability of essential nutrients by dietary changes is not altering the fact that the DHT limits the ability of the hair follicles to absorb those nutrients.

If male pattern baldness is causing your thinning hair, improving your diet will not reverse this, though it may slow it down.

As well as improving the nutrients available to the hair, it is essential to improve the ability of the hair to take up those nutrients. Luckily the best hair loss product does all this very effectively. It supplies essential hair nutrients together with natural ingredients such as Saw Palmetto, which has been shown to reduce the effects of DHT, and it also supplies a topical application improving blood supply to the hair follicles, which in turn improves capacity of the hair follicles to take up more nutrients.

So clearly there is a hair loss vitamin deficiency link, but if male pattern baldness is causing your thinning hair, it's unlikely you can reverse it simply by improving your diet. Whilst improving the availability of essential nutrients is part of the equation, it is equally important to improve the ability of the hair follicle to take up those nutrients.

Of course, improving your diet has a wide range of other health benefits and you ought to make significant dietary changes that this reason, and this will also benefit the health of your hair. But if male pattern baldness is the cause of your problem, you are unlikely to reverse it unless you consider the use of a particular product that both supplies essential nutrients to your hair and improves the ability of the hair to absorb them.
