Supplements & Hair Loss

If you have ruled out illnesses like thyroid disease or diabetes as causes for hair loss, and have also ruled out it being a side effect from medication, then begin taking supplemental Biotin. This nutrient is essential for healthy hair and skin. Vitamin B complex is also very important, as are essential fatty acids like flaxseed oil or primrose oil (take as directed on label). Vitamin E (400 IUs daily) increases oxygen uptake, which improves circulation (as does Vitamin C 3,000 to 10,000 mg daily) and Zinc (50 to 100 mg daily - don´t exceed this dose) helps stimulate hair growth by enhancing immune function growth.
