Sometimes we feel that our hair is not the same as before: it falls out more intensely, it becomes brittle and the quality and quantity of the hair begins to be affected. When this happens, it is common to turn to food supplements in the hope that they will help us give the necessary boost to make hair look healthy. But, What are the hair vitamins that work? From Hospital Capilar We tell you everything you need to know about these vitamins.
To understand which vitamins for hair work, it is convenient to know how they influence the functioning of the hair.
Hair, like any other organ, You need a number of nutrients to stay healthy and strong.. When our diet is not adequate, we stop providing them and this is when the health of the hair begins to deteriorate.
Our doctors They ensure that for hair to function correctly and remain in optimal condition, it is necessary to provide zinc, magnesium, vitamin B6, sulfur amino acids, iron, B12 and folic acid. It is enough to follow a varied and balanced diet so that there is no nutritional deficit. However, we do not always eat properly and that is when we tend to resort to food supplements that promise healthy and shiny hair. But what are the hair vitamins that work? We tell you everything you need to know below.
Not only does a poor diet cause a visible worsening of hair health, but age can also contribute to it. In these cases, the intake of vitamin complexes can contribute to some extent to the improvement of hair.
Here we tell you what vitamins for hair work and what each one is for.
One of the most recommended vitamin complexes to help improve the health of the hair are the B vitamins. Each one of them fulfills a different function, did you know?
B1 contributes to the creation of proteins. In this way, it helps hair thicken, adds shine and causes carbohydrates to be converted into energy.
Riboflavin, commonly known as B2, helps metabolize food.
Vitamin B3 and folic acid are commonly known to stimulate hair growth, making hair stronger.
The vitamin helps in the production of red blood cells. This causes greater oxygenation in the tissues.
The well-known Biotin contributes to the production of a greater amount of keratin and, in addition, prevents flaking of the scalp. It also makes hair more elastic.
It guarantees the correct arrival of nutrients to the hair, in addition to transporting oxygen.
Outside of group B, the presence of vitamin A in the body is necessary to guarantee the proper functioning of the scalp. When the doses of vitamin A are not adequate, it can produce hyperkeratosis in the follicles, that is, keratin plugs can form in them. This prevents normal hair growth.
Vitamin D3 promotes hair growth.
Iron is essential for proper hair growth, so a lack of it can cause hair to fall more intensely.
These three compounds are defined as sulfur amino acids and help in hair growth.
Zinc is another of the compounds that contribute to the hair being in the best health conditions. It is responsible for synthesizing fatty acids that protect hair follicles and also helps in the synthesis of keratin.
Selenium protects hair from oxidative damage and morphogenesis of the hair follicle, so its presence in the body helps prevent hair loss.
Vitamin complexes that include the vitamins and compounds mentioned above can help maintain hair health. But it is not necessary to purchase this type of product, since there are foods that help hair by containing the nutrients it needs.
A daily consumption of fruits and vegetables helps to stop the hair aging strengthening hair and stimulating its growth. Specifically, consuming oranges, lemons, peppers and kiwis will be more beneficial as they are foods that contain vitamin C.
On the other hand, red meat, fish, green leafy vegetables, eggs, chicken, tuna and nuts provide, among others, selenium, zinc, biotin and vitamin A.
An extra supply of vitamins helps strengthen hair and make it look healthier. But can these vitamins treat alopecia?
The answer is no. Normally, alopecia is caused by genetic and hormonal factors, so to combat it, one has to resort to medical treatments that involve drugs. Therefore, vitamins contribute to the proper functioning of the scalp but in no case stop the advance of alopecia.
En Hospital Capilar we have a series of effective treatments with which we manage to improve the capillary health of patients.
Hair Redensification Treatment, or HRT, consists of a treatment based on pharmacomesotherapy with which it is possible to stop the advance of hair loss and miniaturization.
Capillary Regeneration Treatment enhances hair regeneration. This is achieved by extracting a small amount of blood from the patient, which is subsequently subjected to a centrifugation process with which the rich growth factors are extracted. These are injected directly into the scalp through practically painless dermoinfiltrations.
Hair graft It is the only solution with which it is possible to restore hair lost due to alopecia.
En Hospital Capilar we do the hair graft with FUE technique (Follicular Unit Extraction) since it does not leave visible scars and the results are more natural. In this way, the follicular units are extracted from the donor area, the one that is not affected by baldness, and they are implanted in the area to be treated.
Vitamins can help the proper functioning of the scalp but, in many cases, it is not enough. In Hospital Capilar We offer effective hair treatments and we are experts in hair grafting. Request your free hair diagnosis and put yourself in the hands of the best professionals.
