There are a range of different vitamins for hair loss as well as other supplements that could be effective. In this article we will look at some of these in more detail.

Omega 3 fatty acids
Essential fatty acids are in fish like salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines and halibut. They also occur naturally in aome plants and nut oils. Omega 3 fatty acids help your hair grow, and they also improve hair health. This means that your hair is less likely to be brittle and prone to breaking or pulling out.

B complex vitamins
There are 8 separate vitamins in this group: thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyroxidine, biotin, folic acid, and another sub-class of compunds referred to as B12. B vitamins are best taken as a group, as they work together in synergy. It is important to take a good quality B complex vitamin supplement, as some cheaper products are not optimised in terms of the amount and quality of each B vitamin. Many of the B group vitamins help hair health and growth in different ways. Pyridoxine works by preventing testosterone from being converted to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT ). DHT is a natural product of your body that is a big contributor to hair loss. Folic and pantothenic acids help hair to grow healthy and strong.

Vitamin C
Vitamin C may help with hair health by improving circulation in your scalp, which helps to carry blood to the follicles that produce hair.

Inositol and Choline
These compounds help to protect follicles in the scalp from damage. They are important parts of your diet, and hair loss is actually a symptom of inositol deficiency.

Vitamin E and Zinc
These can help to stimulate the growth of hair by keeping your immune system working properly.
