Do You Have Hair Loss? Is Vitamin Deficiency Causing It?

by Harry Regan on 17/10/2009

If you suffer from hair loss vitamin deficiency may be contributing to it. Lets see if there is a vitamin and hair loss link and whether it is possible to use vitamins for hair loss to help reverse that coming balding problem.

Clearly the average American diet is way too low in essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals and others. 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.

It seems that there is a clear link between our poor health and our poor diet and it also makes sense that our poor diet can compromise the health of our hair. 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 successful. This can lead to advancing baldness.

But despite this clear diet hair loss link, is using vitamins for hair loss effective? By changing your diet to increase your intake of vitamins for hair loss problems can you reverse your hair loss?

By far the majority of men who suffer from baldness are suffering from 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 hair is restricted in its ability to take up nutrients and if the supply of nutrients is also limited due to poor diet this exacerbates the problem. But reversing the vitamin deficiency on its own does not increase the ability of the hair follicles to take up nutrients due to the action of the DHT.

If you have hair loss due to male pattern baldness, simply improving your diet will not reverse the hair loss, though it may slow.

Whilst it is important to increase the supply of nutrients available to the hair it is also very important to improve the ability of hair follicles to take up these nutrients. One product does this very well by not only supplying all the essential vitamins and minerals but also using natural ingredients such as Saw Palmetto which has been shown to limit the effects of the DHT and which also supplies a topical product that increases blood supply to the hair thereby allowing the hair 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. As well as supplying a greater supply of nutrients it is equally important that the hair follicles are much better able 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 for this reason, and this will also benefit the health of your hair. But if the cause of your thinning hair is male pattern baldness you ought also consider the use of a product with a two pronged approach, namely increasing the ability of hair follicles to take up important nutrients together with an adequate supply of these nutrients.
