@drtawseefullahgpclinic: 💇‍♀️ Vitamins and nutrients your hair needs Hair loss is not always caused by a vitamin deficiency. But certain nutrient deficiencies can contribute to hair shedding, thinning and poor hair growth. 🩸 Iron Low iron stores, especially low ferritin, can contribute to diffuse hair shedding. ☀️ Vitamin D Low vitamin D is associated with some types of hair loss, although supplementation is not a treatment for every case. 🧠 Vitamin B12 Deficiency can affect rapidly dividing cells and may contribute to hair and skin changes. 🥬 Folate Important for DNA synthesis and healthy cell division, including hair follicle cells. ⚡ Biotin True biotin deficiency is uncommon, but deficiency can cause hair thinning. High-dose biotin is not routinely needed. 🛡️ Zinc Important for normal hair follicle function. Zinc deficiency can contribute to hair loss. 💪 Protein Hair is mainly made of keratin, a protein. Inadequate protein intake can contribute to hair shedding. ⚠️ Important: taking extra vitamins when you are not deficient does not necessarily make hair grow faster. Excess vitamin A, selenium and some other supplements can actually contribute to hair loss. 🩺 Quick MBBS revision tip: common nutritional factors considered in diffuse hair loss include iron status, vitamin D, B12, folate, zinc and protein intake.
