📣WE DO THIS REGARDLESS OF AGE AND GENDER! During periods of metabolic change and reduced intake, nutrients like iron, zinc, folate, biotin, and B12 matter more, and prenatals are designed to cover those bases in balance. 🔹Iron – Supports oxygen delivery to the hair follicle; low levels are strongly linked to increased shedding (if you're constipated already, skip this, get one without iron) 🔹Zinc – Helps with hair follicle repair and growth cycles; deficiency can cause diffuse thinning. 🔹Copper – Supports collagen formation and hair pigment and balances zinc; low levels can worsen thinning or early graying. 🔹Biotin (B7) – Involved in keratin production; deficiency can lead to brittle hair and shedding. 🔹Vitamin B12 – Supports red blood cell production and follicle oxygenation; low levels may contribute to thinning. 🔹Folate (B9) – Essential for cell division and follicle growth during active growth phases. (The ones I suggest are all methylated folate) 🔹Vitamin D – Plays a role in hair follicle cycling; low levels are associated with increased shedding. 🔹Vitamin A – Supports scalp health and sebum production (too much can increase shedding, which is why balance matters). 🔹Iodine & Selenium – Support thyroid function, which directly affects hair growth and shedding patterns. Why prenatals work well here: They’re designed to provide these nutrients together and in balance, which is especially helpful during periods of metabolic change or reduced intake, supporting hair health and helping minimize excess shedding. ✨Peep the 🔗 in my b!0 or drop the word "prenatal" for a list of my favorite ones 😊 #vitamin #hairloss #perimenopausehealth #metabolichealth #womenshealth - @dani_theglpsiepa
