Hair today Gone Tommorrow

Balding is not something anyone would look forward to. Even though we are unable to stop aging we can help ourselves when it comes to hair loss.

Our hair does get thinner as we age and more for some than others but with today's medications and creams etc we may be able to slow this down.

I have looked into many hair loss remedies and have found some that are better than others in how they say the can slow down hair loss and some even say they will help your existing hair grow more and stronger. I do not know about that but have heard of some of the good some of them do.

Do You Have Hair Loss? Vitamin Deficiency May Well Be The Cause.

By Peter Albertson

If you're finding that over the last few years you're suffering from hair loss, vitamin deficiency may well be contributing to that. Lets consider if there is a link between vitamins and hair loss and whether it is possible, by improving your diet, to use vitamins for hair loss to help combat that approaching baldness problem.

It is quite clear that the average American diet is very low in essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. 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. So it is now obvious that our poor diet contributes to many of our health concerns and there are some of these, like heart disease, that can kill us.

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. Clearly the health of our hair is heavily dependent upon the nutrients available to it from our diet. This leads to thinning hair.

But despite there being a clear diet hair loss link can we, by improving our diet, effectively use vitamins for hair loss reversal? Can you start to regain your hair simply by improving your diet to improve the supply of nutrients?

By far the majority of men who suffer from baldness are suffering from male pattern baldness. Male pattern baldness is a condition which limits the ability of hair follicles to take up essential nutrients because of the action of the male hormone DHT. The ability of the hair to take up nutrients is limited and where, by reason of poor diet, there is also a lack of nutrients available, the problem becomes worse. However simply increasing the supply of essential nutrients through dietary improvements does not alter the fact that DHT restricts the ability of hair follicles to take up those nutrients.

If male pattern baldness is causing your thinning hair improving your diet will not reverse this, though it may slow down.

As well as improving the nutrients available to the hair it is essential to improve the ability of the hair to take up those nutrients. The good news is that one product recognises the importance of both these factors and so supplies a range of essential vitamins and minerals important for hair health together with natural ingredients such as Saw Palmetto which has been shown to reduce the effect of DHT, and also supplies a topical application to increase blood supply to their hair follicles which also improves the ability of the follicles to take up 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. It is important that not only is there a better supply of essential hair nutrients but also that hair follicles are much better able to absorb those nutrients at the same time.

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.
