Supplements for hair growth

Hair loss and thinning have many root causes—including stress, genetics, childbirth, and more—but in addition to a well-rounded diet, the best hair growth vitamins contain a combination of ingredients, like Omega-fatty acids and alphabetic vitamins, to help fortify weak or damaged hair over time. According to professionals, growth vitamins work by supplementing the natural processes needed to bolster the hair growth cycle and augment the deficiencies causing thinning.

Although the right growth vitamins can help mitigate hair loss with continued use, professionals advise speaking with an expert to find out the true root cause to prevent more thinning in the long run. Please remember that “While someone might care about restoring their hair to its former lustre and thickness, the cause of thinning ultimately determines the best method of treatment”

Ingredients in Hair Growth supplements

  • Keratin
  • Biotin
  • MSM (or methylsulfonylmethane)
  • Hydrolyzed collagen
  • Vitamins A, C, and E, 
  • Saw palmetto
  • Ashwagandha 

 

Please Remember: Vitamin supplementation only works if there is a deficiency in the first instance. If the body is balanced, then those surplus vitamins are not useful, and in the case of water-soluble vitamins like biotin the excess comes out in your urine. Ideally, it is best to get your vitamins from your food.
