Women Hair Loss Vitamins

Which hair loss vitamins will help women with thinning hair or hair loss?

 

Women’s hair loss vitamins do need to be a bit different then men because of the body’s hormones and menstrual cycles.

 

Women with hair loss or thinning hair have many causes witch include several factors like,

·        Stress: It has been scientifically proven that women are more concerned about how others perceive them and has caused stress.

A deficiency in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B1, iron will certainly cause thinning hair and hair loss.

 

1. Vitamin A affects hair loss in women indirectly as it is needed to produce sebum (Scalp oil), which protects the hair from becoming dry. A dry scalp often is the cause of dandruff and in most cases leads to a thick scalp causing thinning hair and hair loss.

 

* Eating foods like Mangos, Oranges, Carrots, Sweet potato, Squash and yucky old liver.

 

2. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and helps to make skin and hair healthy by aiding with the body’s metabolism by converting fat and carbohydrates into energy.

A lack of B1 in your diet can certainly cause thinning hair and then hair loss. Other vitamin B complexes like B5 and B6, and let’s not forget vitamin E for increased circulation. All play an important role if female hair health and female pattern baldness. Women like volume and shine and you have to have healthy hair to get this kind of look.

Iron role in the blood is the help with the production of both hemoglobin (the substance that carries oxygen within the red blood cells) and Myoglobin.  Myoglobin is a form of hemoglobin found in the muscle tissues. Iron is also involved in the oxygenation process of our body’s red blood cells. The menstrual cycle will clearly affect the amount of iron in the blood stream and is often recommended by doctors for women as an extra daily supplement.

Herbalists have also recommended horsetail for osteoporosis, gout, rheumatism, arthritis, joint pain and hair loss. This has to be mainly taken, as a supplement as to get it naturally would mean grazing on it in the fields’ lol.

 

6. Biotin, which is also known as vitamin H or B7, is found in many foods naturally but in a very low dose. Pregnant women often have reduced biotin because of an increase of 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid which is a normal human metabolite an it reduces the body’s level of biotin.
