Top Supplements for Healthy Hair

Even though supplements and multivitamins are great ways to get your daily nutrients, they are not a substitute for a healthy diet. Eating foods rich in these vitamins is the best way to get your recommended vitamin and mineral intake. Taking pills is still beneficial, as long as you take the right dosage. Try these four recommendations to keep your hair healthy and happy.

Vitamin D: Recent studies have highlighted a correlation between Vitamin D deficiency and hair loss, particularly in women. This vitamin is known to help with the health of hair follicles. Getting vitamin D is as simple as standing outside in the sun, but if you're sensitive to UV rays, try eating fatty fish, mushrooms, or egg yolks.

Vitamin B complex: A fancy way of describing all water-soluble vitamins (except C), vitamin B is known to have a variety of health benefits. One of them is to promote healthy skin, nails and shiny hair. While all the different variations of B are found in a large array of food try focusing on nuts, brown rice, eggs and green vegetables.

Iron: When it comes to restoring hair growth, iron seems to play a big role. While having an iron deficiency doesn't necessarily mean hair loss, not having enough iron in your blood can make it worse. Try eating more meat, egg yolk (noticing a trend here?) and dark leafy greens for the best impact.

Zinc: The last mineral in the alphabetical array of nutrients should not be last on your list. Zinc also provides a variety of benefits and can be easily found in red meats, poultry, fish, whole wheat and dairy. Did you know that there are actually shampoos that contain zinc?
