Remedies for thinning hair and hair loss

- WITH CLAIR WHITTY

THINNING hair and hair loss is extremely worrying and distressin­g. Many women experience this, and thankfully, for many, hair growth returns to normal. It often happens after a stressful period and is also associated with thyroid problems, hormonal imbalance, nutritiona­l deficienci­es, or weak digestion. Sometimes it’s your hairdresse­r that notices and points out changes in the volume of your hair.

If you experience hair loss during or after a stressful period you could take B complex to help you cope with the stress, improve energy, and to support healthy hair growth. It could be as simple as that and for many it is. On-going stress can affect digestion and how you absorb the nutrients from your food. You could also take a digestive enzyme with each meal so that you get the full health benefit of the food.

A deficiency of Biotin is common, and for many simply taking biotin for a couple of months makes a huge difference.

New Nordic Hair Volume is another option. It contains a mix of nutrients essential for hair growth and volume. It includes Horsetail, a natural source of Silica, plus Biotin, Zinc, and Copper. It includes Apple Extract which contains a follicle stimulatin­g B vitamin and millet extract which is one of the building blocks of hair proteins. Many customers get great results with Hair Volume. If you’re stressed you can take it with B complex. Eat couple of brazil nuts every day for selenium–an important nutrient for hair health and thyroid function. Add in some omega oils to ensure adequate levels of essential fatty acids. This will provide you with an excellent combinatio­n of nutrients to support normal hair growth.
