 Vitamins by Oral Intake
and Hair Loss: Effectiveness and Limits

     

Overview. Do vitamins for the hair help resolve a hair loss or hair thinning process (linkalopecia)? Do they also have an impact on other conditions, such as: dandruff, scalp itchiness, excessively greasy or dry hair?

     

If yes, how can you find your way in the jungle of ingredients and promises? This info file goes over the situation of those treatments, and their limits…

1- Action on the hair

Like any part of the body, the hair needs ‘fuel’ brought by nutrition, in order to renew itself. Vitamin treatments by oral intake often provide a beneficial addition to anti-hair loss treatment. But they cannot replace the local treatments, which directly penetrate the heart of the hair follicle. Even if it is easier to swallow a tablet than it is to locally treat the scalp, the impact cannot be compared. Therefore, miracles should not be expected from vitamin therapy alone…


What vitamin treatments cannot do:
- stop the hair loss itself
- generate new regrowing hair on its own

What they can contribute to doing:
- increase the hair’s resistance and growth
- moderate the sebaceous glands’ sebum
- hydrating excessively dry scalps
- treating dandruff

But it is essential to not just swallow anything, at any doses or frequency… It all depends on the type of problem, and the hair’s nature:

2- Dosage

All laboratories recommend a certain dosage, and it is important to respect it in order to avoid the temptation of over-dosage that would accelerate the process. There are two reasons for that:

bottle

- Either the nutrients taken in are without danger for the body, and over-dosage is uselessly eliminated by urine or the liver.

- Or over-dosage is dangerous for the body and can lead to disorders, some of which are more serious than the one being cured! For instance, that is the case with vitamin A, zinc, or vitamin B6.  



3- Tips for usage

As an isolated treatment: In the case of a benign hair problem (lack of vitality of the hair due to temporary fatigue, seasonal loss, loss after child-bearing, a strong fever, etc.), vitamin therapy can act on the tonus and the appearance of the regrowing hair.

As an alongside treatment: When linkthe hair diagnosis reveals a severe alopecic problem (heredity, permanent stress…), complements by oral intake, as we have said, cannot make up for local care. However, as an alongside treatment, it acts in synergy with the external treatment and participates, from the inside, to the hair’s proper renewal.
