Along with protein and essential fatty acids, extremely important is intake of certain vitamins and minerals. Inadequate intake of vitamins and minerals can result in hair that is not receiving enough of these substances and thus leads to a weakened growth of hair.Vitamins are not only important to help with hair growth but they are also important in helping the quality of your hair, overall, as well as the color of the hair.

Important vitamins for hair growth

One of the important vitamins for hair loss is vitamin A, which in larger quantities can be found in the rumen, green and yellow vegetables and dairy products. Organism lacking this vitamin is not able to synthesize properly protein structure, and therefore the deficit may be manifested as light and fragile hair (vellus). Vitamin A is also very important for the process of growth and development of cells. However, taking high doses of vitamin A over long periods can cause the opposite effect – increased hair loss.

The importance of vitamin C for healthy hair is also important because it allows better blood circulation around hair roots and thus the substance necessary for growth faster and easier to reach him. A similar effect is achieved with vitamin E.  Beside vitamins and minerals, as recent research suggests, some substances may also be helpful when it comes to hair loss.

B vitamins, especially vitamin B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid) and B6. B vitamins are rich in beans (legumes), carrots, cauliflower, nuts, eggs, brewer’s yeast and soy.

Biotin also known as vitamin H or vitamin B7, is essential for the production of healthy and beautiful hair. Experts believe that biotion is most important vitamin for hair growth.
