People experience hair thinning and hair loss due to many factors such as age, a side effect of certain medications and stress. With more technological advances in the field of medicine, researchers are discovering treatments to not only prevent hair loss but also regrow hair. Unfortunately, these treatments are not patient-specific and do not always solve the problem for each individual.
There are natural remedies that may help decrease or even stop hair loss. Minerals such as Selenium, Zinc and Iron as well as vitamins B6, B12, A, E, and C reportedly slow down the progression of hair loss. However, minerals and vitamins can cause serious health problems if not taken correctly or if the body receives too much of any vitamin and/or mineral.
It is always advisable to speak with your doctor or pharmacist to discuss if vitamins or minerals are right for you. They will likely ask questions such as any current medications you are on as well as a brief health history.
