Hair Loss and Hair Re-growth Part II - Re-grow Your Hair With Nutritional Supplements

Author: Kyle J. Norton

Hair loss affects millions of people in the world, it is caused by genetics passed on from generation to generation and uncontrolled diet that is high in saturated fat that causes cholesterol building up in the arteries and partially blocking transport of oxygen in the blood stream to the cells of the scalp in result of hair loss. Also the deficiency of minerals in your bloodstream may be another cause of hair loss. As we mentioned in other articles, hair loss may be caused by aging. Starting at age 40, the levels of the by-product prolactin of testosterone in men increases, stimulating the production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase that causes the conversion of testosterone to gihydro-testosterones DHT causing our hair to grow back thinner or not grown back at all.

Here are some important minerals that may help to prevent hair loss and promote hair re-growth:

1. Iron
Iron is involved in the oxygenation of your body’s red blood cells. It is essential for normal hair growth and maintaining healthy hair. If the amount of iron can not be replaced with food intake, iron deficiency will cause hair loss because of oxygen deficiency.

2. Zinc
It helps to secrete the scalp with much needed oil and avoid dandruff that may cause hair loss.

3. Copper
Study shows that these tripeptide complexes may actually be able to regrow hair, even in patients with total hair loss due to alopecia. Healthy tissue concentrations of copper lie between 1.7 and 3.5 milligrams. Everything else will cause hair loss.

4. B vitamins
The deficiency of B vitamins (especially B6, B3, B5 and folic acid) in your diet may lead to hair loss.
