Great Answer

Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

Hair loss results from a variety of sources including illness, old age, genetics, medications, stress, hormones, hair products and nutritional deficiencies. Improving nutrition to include sufficient vitamins and minerals can help guard against loss and improve hair growth.

Biotin (Vitamin H)

Biotin is essential to growing new hair. Sources of biotin include nuts, dairy products, eggs, meat, salmon, tuna, split peas and bananas.

PABA (Para-Aminobenzoic Acid)

PABA has the ability to help prevent hair loss by protecting hair follicles. Natural sources include whole grains, yogurt, eggs, molasses, brewer's yeast and sunflower seeds.

Iron

Lack of iron can lead to anemia, which can lead to hair loss. Sources for iron include broccoli, brewer's yeast and red meat.

Zinc

Zinc controls hormones that are related to some forms of genetic hair loss. The best sources of zinc are meat, lobster, clams and salmon, but it can also be found in dairy products, whole grains, beans, potatoes and pumpkin seeds.

Other

Other vitamins and minerals that can help with hair loss are vitamins B6 and B12, inositol, beta carotene, copper, iodine, and vitamins C and E. The balance of nutrients is essential, so consult a physician before taking any dietary supplements.
