What are the vitamins and minerals supporting healthy hair?

While a well-balanced diet is essential for overall health, certain vitamins and minerals play specific roles in supporting hair health. Here are some vitamins and minerals often associated with hair health:
  1. Vitamin A: Helps with the production of sebum, which keeps the scalp moisturized. However, excessive vitamin A intake can have adverse effects, so it's important to get an appropriate amount.
  2. Vitamin E: Acts as an antioxidant that can help prevent oxidative stress on the scalp.
  3. Vitamin D: Supports hair follicle cycling, and deficiency has been linked to hair loss.
  4. Vitamin C: Plays a role in collagen production, which is essential for hair structure.
  5. Biotin (Vitamin B7): Often associated with hair and nail health, but the evidence is mixed. Biotin deficiency is rare in individuals with a balanced diet.
  6. Vitamin B-complex (B3, B6, B12, and others): Essential for overall health, including hair health. B vitamins help carry oxygen and nutrients to the scalp and hair follicles.
  7. Iron: Anemia can contribute to hair loss, so maintaining sufficient iron levels is crucial.
  8. Zinc: Supports hair growth and repair.
It's generally recommended to obtain these nutrients through a well-balanced diet rather than relying solely on supplements. Always consult with a healthcare professional before adding new supplements to your routine.
