The Vitamin You Need If You Struggle With Hair Loss
By ANNE TAYLOR
Hair loss has many potential causes, including hormonal changes, genetics, medications, health conditions, and stress. One easily treatable cause of hair loss is vitamin deficiency, and taking certain vitamin supplements improves hair health.
Certain vitamins and minerals are necessary for healthy hair growth, and one of them is biotin, which is often found in hair and skin supplements. Iron, vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc are also essential in preventing hair loss.
While most supplements are safe to consume within the recommended dosage, they are not regulated by the FDA. Taking a supplement can help you get the nutrients you are not getting through food alone, but it is best to consult a physician before taking any supplements to be safe.
